Avalanche is revolutionizing real world assets and adoption; from collectibles to capital markets, tickets to insurance, Web3 rewards to real estate, socialFi to subnets, and on-chain gaming—nearly every sector is moving on-chain.
In this conversation, Avery Bartlett, the master of vibes for social media for Ava Labs, discusses his journey into crypto and his role in the RWA ecosystem. He shares how he got into crypto through buying Bitcoin in college and rediscovering it later. Avery also talks about his transition from being a software engineer to working in marketing and the importance of understanding the technology behind crypto. He highlights the concept of real world assets (RWAs) and how blockchain can make transactions more efficient and trustworthy. Avery gives examples of tokenizing equity in residential real estate and using blockchain for insurance in developing countries. He also discusses the integration of blockchain technology in events like Coachella and Sports Illustrated. The conversation covered various topics related to the Avalanche blockchain, including NFT ticketing, gaming, and the tokenization of capital markets. The use of subnets in Avalanche allows for the creation of separate blockchains within the ecosystem, which is particularly beneficial for gaming applications. The tokenization of in-game assets and the ability for players to create and monetize content are key trends in Web3 gaming. In the capital markets, institutions are exploring the use of blockchain technology to improve efficiency and trust in asset transfer and settlement. Teleporter, a feature of Avalanche, enables secure and fast cross-chain asset transfers. Projects like Re Insurance are leveraging Avalanche to create decentralized insurance marketplaces. Overall, Avalanche aims to provide value and support to other businesses and ecosystems within the blockchain industry.
