This marks the second halving in Avian’s history, a milestone that occurs every two years. Scarcity increases, and the journey continues strong.

📣 Avian Fundamental Upgrades Donation Fund is LIVE! The community voted to prioritize fundamental upgrades, and now it’s time to make it happen! We’re launching a donation fund to bring in developers to complete the smart contract integration and BlockDAG implementation. Over the past year, no new developers have volunteered to work for free, and our current team is too small to handle this alone. Funding will allow us to reward developers for their contributions while ensuring transparent progress updates. - Goal: $30k–$60k+ - Accepting USDT & USDC on Ethereum & Polygon - All spending will be publicly posted on X & Discord. If funding is too low after a couple of months, donations (minus fees) will be refunded, and we may shift focus to securing an exchange listing instead. Now’s the time to turn votes into action! Let’s build Avian’s future together. Donation address: 0xc87dece189Bf0105c3c24F11c1D45Ae8F3395468 Rules: - Full Transparency – All spending of donated funds will be publicly posted on X & Discord. - Strict Usage – Funds will only be used for smart contract integration & BlockDAG upgrades. Developers will be paid after completing agreed-upon work. - Refunds if Necessary – If total donations remain below a few thousand after a couple of months, funds will be refunded (minus transaction fees). If funding falls short, smart contracts & BlockDAG upgrades will be delayed or scrapped until resources become available. - No Other Use Cases – Donations will not be redirected to other expenses unless explicitly voted on by the community. - Fallback Plan – If this initiative doesn't reach the required funding, we may relaunch a donation drive for an exchange listing, as it was the second most favored option in the community poll. Your support directly shapes Avian’s future—let’s make it happen!

📢 BIG NEWS! The $AVN community has spoken—voting in favor of Option A in the fundraising poll, making fundamental upgrades the top priority. In response, the Avian core team will launch a fundraising initiative to accelerate development. Funds will be allocated to building smart contract support, the BlockDAG upgrade, and most importantly, expanding the developer team by attracting top talent and supporting those shaping Avian’s future. Stay tuned—official donation details and goals will be announced soon!

We as core team developers will do our best to provide more community incentives and opportunities to attract new talent, achieve new goals, and drive further innovation and development of the core.
