Runes: BRC-20s Replacement or Just More Hype?

In this episode the analysts kick things off by examining the Runes phenomenon on Bitcoin, debating whether it represents real innovation or just another trend. The conversation then shifts to the DePIN space, with a focus on Ionet's partnership to onboard 3000 high-performance GPUs. The hosts then turn their attention to Avalanche's rapid progress, including the Vryx breakthrough enabling 100K TPS. Stick around for all of this and much more!

RWA is just one potential narrative for Avalanche. An even bigger one, in my opinion, is gaming. There are tons of games coming out on AVAX, most notably MapleStory (with its amazing and vast universe) and Gunzilla (a triple-A quality game). Only AVAX offers this level of customizability for your needs, whether regulatory or technical. They will all come to Avalanche eventually for one reason or another. Study Evergreen Subnets.
