Ava Labs CBO John Nahas to Talk Institutional Strategy at SALT London

@AvaLabs Chief Business Officer johnnahas84 is set to appear alongside Anthony Scaramucci at SALT London on November 4, 2026, where the pair will discuss the growing institutional appetite for customizable blockchain infrastructure built on Avalanche.

The venue is London's Chancery Rosewood, hosting the SALT conference across November 3–4. Ava Labs framed the session around a straightforward pitch: custom blockchains with custom rules, connected to global liquidity — the core argument behind Avalanche's L1 architecture, which lets institutions define their own execution environments, permissioning, and compliance parameters while remaining interoperable with broader onchain markets.

Why It Matters

SALT's audience skews toward institutional allocators, funds, and financial services firms — the segment Ava Labs has been courting through its enterprise-facing infrastructure and managed blockchain tooling. The company's recent messaging has focused on the idea that different institutions carry different onchain requirements, from privacy to validator permissions, and that a single shared public chain configuration cannot accommodate all of them.

Ava Labs has been running a visible institutional circuit through this period. Its president and COO are also speaking at a separate conference hosted by @TheTieIO, signaling a coordinated push toward enterprise decision-makers rather than retail audiences.

Nahas's appearance with Scaramucci places Avalanche in front of a crowd already primed for macro and capital-markets conversations, rather than a purely crypto-native one. What to watch: whether the discussion yields any concrete institutional deployments, or remains positioning.
