Avalanche has announced a partnership with Helix and Faculty Group to launch Fusion, a new community initiative that will use blockchain to drive real-world use cases.
Fusion is an Avalanche-backed project that seeks to serve as a launchpad for developers to build apps that tackle real challenges.
The goal, according to the Fusion team, is to deploy blockchain in solving problems in areas like healthcare, real-world assets (RWAs), and AI.
$100 Million Ecosystem Fund Powers Fusion
The $100 million investment backing Fusion comes from existing programs like Multiverse and InfraBUILD.
In addition, Fusion operates on the Avalanche chain, leveraging its speed and high throughput. Fusion also features a 2-layer system to help its goal of building relevant apps.
The first layer includes “Composers.” These are customizable blockchains that target specific industries like AI and healthcare.
The next layer, known as “Modules,” includes ready-made tools that developers can easily deploy, such as access to real-world data.
Fusion’s Approach to Help Developers Build Fast
This approach, according to the team, will serve as a springboard for mainstream adoption and ensure blockchain is used to tackle relevant problems.
According to Nicholas Mussallem, CEO of AvaCloud, “Fusion equips developers with the tools they need to build impactful, real-world applications on live blockchain networks.”
“While AvaCloud streamlines Layer 1 network creation, Fusion enhances these networks once they’re operational.
This initiative combines the best tools for scaling blockchain technology, creating tangible value, and driving widespread adoption across industries,“ he explained.
Fusion is already working with early adopters such as Life Network, a healthcare-focused project working with hospitals to tackle diseases like stroke using AI.
Other early ecosystem members include Kite AI, which supports open access to AI models, and Tayga, which focuses on powering decentralized infrastructure. The team expects more projects to join, especially from sectors like DeFi, RWAs, and digital identity.
Avalanche Sees Huge Community Growth
Avalanche’s $100 million investment in Fusion reflects its ambition to revolutionize traditional finance by making it faster, more accessible, and more efficient for users.
Avalanche has been working to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain. One of its approaches to achieving this has been to focus on community development.
All through 2025, Avalanche has announced a series of initiatives, partnerships, and upgrades. Notably, Avalanche launched the Avalanche9000 campaign to incentivize developers to build on Avalanche and ensure ecosystem growth.
The team has also announced several strategic partnerships across gaming, supply chain, and finance. Interestingly, Avalanche’s community focus appears to pay off, as $AVAX has been one of the thriving altcoins in recent days.
Additionally, the DeFi platform has seen a remarkable increase in network activity, recording around 2 million daily active addresses.
With the crypto market seeing huge recovery, Avalanche’s investment in Fusion reflects a strong commitment towards real-world impact.
By empowering developers with tools to build, Avalanche positions itself to play a key role in shaping the next generation of crypto apps.
