Until recently, networks of app chains have been fragmented and too much trouble for the average person to use. Today, with the release of Teleporter, Avalanche has become a seamlessly linked network of many chains that communicate so smoothly they feel like a single chain. 

Built atop Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM), Avalanche’s native messaging protocol, Teleporter is the developer–friendly interface that makes sending and receiving cross-chain EVM messages simple. With Teleporter, Avalanche blockchains can share any type of information with one another. Tokens, NFTs, oracle price feed data – any message can be communicated in a smooth, coordinated manner. 

The result is that builders can easily build and users can freely use cross-Subnet apps offering full, fluid EVM interoperability. 

Teleporter is an important step toward realizing the full Avalanche vision. 

Since the beginning, Avalanche was developed to be a sprawling network of lightning-fast custom app chains. Subnets launched in Spring 2022, sparking an initial cohort of custom app chains that has grown to dozens, with many more coming across all major blockchain verticals. Since then, breakthroughs and highly anticipated releases like AWM (Subnet interoperability), HyperSDK (VM optimization), and Firewood (throughput) have vastly improved the potential capabilities of Subnets, and now Teleporter allows EVM Subnets to pass messages unhindered, natively linking the growing universe of Subnets. 

For instance, Teleporter enables developers to build cross-chain swaps or create gaming environments where one Subnet can unlock features in another. It allows institutions to use USDC as the native gas token of a Subnet. 

Teleporter gives Web3 builders an extensive, audited framework and abstracts away AWM’s signing and verification. It empowers developers to easily call contracts on other EVM chains within the Avalanche network, including the Avalanche C-chain, and makes developing Avalanche dApps extremely straightforward. 

Teleporter comes on the heels of Avalanche’s Durango upgrade, which, after a successful activation on the Fuji Testnet, went live on Mainnet on 3/6. Among other new capabilities, Durango implemented the first community-proposed Avalanche Community Proposals (ACPs), including ACP-30. ACP-30 activated AWM, and AWM provides the foundation for Teleporter. 

With Teleporter, the possibilities are endless. 

With the activation of the Durango Upgrade on the Avalanche Mainnet, it is now possible for Subnets to natively communicate with the C-Chain using Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM),” said Patrick O'Grady, VP of Platform Engineering at Ava Labs. “Teleporter wraps this new functionality in an EVM-compatible interface that Solidity developers can use to trigger arbitrary contract invocations across any Avalanche Subnet. The Avalanche Interoperability Era has arrived.

“Together, Avalanche Warp Messaging and Teleporter provide a new foundation for how Avalanche blockchains can communicate, and how developers can easily build cross-chain applications out-of-the-box,” said Emin Gün Sirer, founder and CEO of Ava Labs. “These lightweight primitives will further improve the user and developer experiences, and they cement Avalanche as an interoperability leader. Simply put, Avalanche is leading the way for people who want to develop fast, secure and interconnected blockchain applications."
