"Normally, you ship a big upgrade to testnet, and if everything looks good, you immediately ship it to mainnet, and then you hopefully get adoption for it," said Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo, chief operating officer at Ava Labs. "We kind of want to spin that on its head a little bit, and instead elongate the testnet process and do sort of what you can call an incentivized testnet."
"They'll be able to effectively vote with those credits during the incentivized testnet on the builders, and this is going to be used as a signal for the Avalanche Foundation to then retroactively grant the participants afterwards," D'Onorio DeMeo said.
"For a builder to actually qualify for the retroactive grant, they will have to eventually deploy on mainnet," D'Onorio DeMeo said. "The goal here is to allocate a substantial amount of funds, to build up a strong pipeline on testnet, so that when we go to mainnet, there's a bunch of stuff to launch."
Avalanche9000 is expected to be Avalanche's largest upload since its mainnet launch in 2020. It's supposed to make launching layer 1s on Avalanche cheaper, easier to customize and smoother to maintain.
