The Avalanche Foundation will conduct the next Retro9000 project snapshot on October 14, 2025, at 12 PM UTC. This snapshot captures the status of Avalanche L1 projects live on mainnet for retroactive funding consideration under the Retro9000 program. Only projects operating on Avalanche's mainnet Layer 1 infrastructure are eligible. Recent News The Retro9000 program has awarded over $1 million to its inaugural cohort of 19 grantees, with a second funding batch recently announced involving nine projects receiving over $250,000 in support. The initiative continues to grow, boasting over 150 projects building on Retro9000 on the Avalanche testnet and mainnet ecosystems as of mid-2025. The last snapshot occurred July 15, 2025. Future Plans The Avalanche Foundation aims to accelerate ecological growth by conducting regular quarterly Retro9000 snapshots to identify and reward builders of Layer 1 blockchains and developer tooling on Avalanche mainnet. This ongoing funding supports the expansion and robustness of the Avalanche ecosystem. Onchain Data No verifiable onchain metrics available. Community Sentiment Positive — The community shows enthusiasm about the continued support and funding for Avalanche Layer 1 projects through Retro9000. Builders are optimistic about the program's potential to incentivize innovation and ecosystem expansion. Risk Disclaimer As the Retro9000 snapshots can influence the funding and development pace of projects, it may indirectly affect token valuations of associated projects. Users should consider this when evaluating participation.
