Ava Labs has also been actively developing the network. They have released an upgrade called AvalancheGo Verbier which is named after a popular skiing destination. Head of Engineering at Ava Labs, Patrick O’Grady, stated,

Furthermore, the core browser extension announced its support for custom Avalanche subnets along with Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains as well.
