Ava Labs Pitches Avalanche as a Platform of Purpose-Built Chains, Projects 200 Enterprise Networks in 2026

The company says enterprises favor sovereign, interoperable environments rather than a single shared chain.

Overview

  • Ava Labs reports nearly 80 live Avalanche layer-1 blockchains with more than 100 on testnet.
  • John Nahas projects roughly 200 institutional and enterprise chains across finance, identity, AI and government by next year, describing this as the company’s target.
  • Toyota is building four distinct Avalanche chains, with FIFA and Japan’s SMBC also developing independent environments on the platform, according to the company.
  • Avalanche supports private permissioned, public permissionless and hybrid chains designed to interoperate for workflow-specific needs.
  • Nahas says the strategy prioritizes medium‑to‑long‑term execution over short‑term crypto market narratives, reflecting demand for dedicated rails from banks, asset managers and enterprises.
