About
Avalanche Developers is the developer-facing arm of Avalanche (/avax), maintained by Ava Labs' developer relations team.
What is Avalanche Developers
It is the identity behind the Avalanche Builder Hub, the network's official developer portal, and behind community programming aimed at engineers building on the platform — documentation, guides, and outreach that lower the barrier to shipping on Avalanche.
Key Features
The Builder Hub packages architecture documentation covering sovereign Layer 1s, the Primary Network, and interchain messaging; quick-start guides for building on the C-Chain; and reference material such as technical whitepapers and audits. It also hosts a Console for configuring and deploying validators and an Explorer for inspecting chains, validators, and cross-chain messages.
How It Works
Builders can choose between deploying directly on the shared C-Chain, which offers an established EVM environment with existing wallet and data-provider integrations, or launching a sovereign Layer 1 with its own validator set. The portal also showcases live applications and integrations across DeFi, stablecoins, and enterprise use cases as reference implementations for new teams.
