Meet & Learn: Connecting to the AVA Cascade Testnet

Silicon Valley Blockchain Consortium is proud to partner with Ava Labs for their next Meet & Learn event.

AVA, formerly Avalanche, is an open-source platform for launching highly decentralized applications, new financial primitives, and new interoperable blockchains. Ava Labs was created by Cornell PhD's and Cornell Professor Emin Gun Sire.

At this event an Ava Labs Engineer will demo how to connect to the AVA Cascade Testnet and create/trade a brand new asset on the X-chain. Get ready to mint your own tokens!

For those interested in attending the event, please register here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/evcl7a0m/register.

Ava has also recently announced its new grants program AVA-X where participants will be able to apply for grants to improve the AVA client, develop tooling, and even build DeFi applications such as lending apps, derivative contracts, and stablecoins.

AVA-X will also include a way for developers and community members to present work surrounding the latest research as it pertains to the platform, comprehensive educational pieces about AVA, and even outreach initiatives such as community growth grants.

Interested parties will be given appropriate grants to work on projects which serve to expand the AVA ecosystem.
