HyperSDK: Build ANY Virtual Machine Q&A

This video provides a wealth of information on HyperSDK, the first framework for building high-performance Virtual Machines (VMs) from scratch on the Avalanche platform. It offers developers a highly flexible foundation to build the fastest blockchains in the world, straight out of the box.

The capacity to create custom Virtual Machines is one of the most powerful features available on the Avalanche blockchain network. HyperSDK is designed to simplify and accelerate custom VM development, making it safer and easier to launch optimized blockchains. Blockchains built with the HyperSDK toolkit are known as HyperChains.

The video features a discussion between Ava Labs’ Head of Engineering Patrick O’Grady and Chief Protocol Architect Stephen Buttolph that covers a variety of topics about this exciting new technology, such as: - The origins of HyperSDK - Direct authentication and delegate authentication - The need to enable easy updates in a dynamic environment - Finding the balance between simplicity and complexity - Plans to add smart contract support - The Discord channel for HyperSDK - The role of state keys in HyperSDK for speeding up transactions - How HyperSDK tackles the problem of transaction malleability - Stress testing and throughputs on the Avalanche C-Chain - Connecting the C-Chain to Subnets - How HyperSDK allows designers to specify fee parameters

Low-Code Gaming NFTs ft. Stardust & Avalanche

The Stardust platform has been designed to provide crypto game developers with the tools and support necessary to build games in the metaverse. With Stardust, it takes developers only a few lines of code to create non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that can be integrated into a game and give users irrefutable proof of ownership of their assets. This state-of-the-art platform offers the fastest way for game developers to build, and it’s accessible to private individuals and gaming studios alike. In January 2023, Stardust added Avalanche C-Chain compatibility to furnish designers with greater scaling and customization options.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Ava Labs’ Garrison Yang and Ed Chang join Stardust’s Atif Khan and Andy Adams to explore current trends in low-code gaming NFTs and related issues that impact the blockchain gaming community. Topics covered include: - How Stardust simplifies and enhances the Web3 experience - When developers should reach out to a third-party company like Stardust - How Stardust can ensure regulatory compliance - Catering to the varying needs of game devs - Building Stardust from a game dev’s perspective - The importance of scalability - Some cool recent games - Which type of game company is best positioned to make the Web3 transition - Addressing the stigma about NFTs - The new Ava Labs/Stardust accelerator program

In just a few short years Avalanche has become the fastest and most reliable smart contracts platform in the world. It offers a revolutionary consensus protocol and highly customizable Subnets to empower Web3 developers to launch dApps, NFTs, and much more. Avalanche allows developers to deploy on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), or use a custom VM to build whatever they want. Users can utilize digital assets stored in their NFT wallet, transfer funds on a cross-chain bridge, become a validator to earn staking rewards, and participate in a thriving worldwide community of blockchain aficionados.
