Avalanche introduces ‘Evergreen’ subnets to connect institutions on blockchain
Ava Labs, the developer of the Avalanche layer-1 blockchain platform, is introducing new institutional deployments to improve the blockchain environment.
On April 6, Ava Labs introduced Avalanche Evergreen Subnets, a suite of institutional blockchain tooling and customizations designed to address company-specific requirements for financial services.
The new product aims to allow institutions to maintain control over their blockchain environment while enabling intercompany communication, Ava Labs’ institutional business development director, Morgan Krupetsky, told Cointelegraph.

With Evergreen subnets, member institutions will be able to communicate with each other without relying on third-party bridges, seamlessly transferring assets, proceeding with trade confirmations and other messages, the executive noted.
The intercompany communication on Evergreen subnets is enabled using Avalanche’s native communication protocol, Avalanche Warp Messaging. The AWM feature provides native communication between any two blockchains on different Avalanche subnets.
An Avalanche subnet, or subnetwork, is a dynamic set of validators working together to achieve consensus on the state of a set of blockchains. Subnets are independent and don’t share execution, storage or networking with other subnets or the primary network, which allows the network to scale.
“Subnets were always part of the target state vision for the Avalanche network,” Krupetsky said, adding that the first subnet — DeFi Kingdoms — was launched in April 2022. “Subnets can
