After 5 years building and supporting the @avax ecosystem exclusively, today we are announcing the closure of Colony because the ecosystem evolved in ways that no longer allow us to pursue our mission with conviction. This was not an easy decision, especially after 5 years committing our full focus, resources, and energy to Avalanche, its projects, its vision, and its community across multiple market cycles. But it is time to close this chapter. Before stepping away, we believe it is important to be transparent about our experience operating within the Avalanche ecosystem over the past several years. The full statement, including how the building environment changed materially, the structural challenges we faced, everything we built and delivered during that time, and the wind-down process and timeline, is in the article below: medium.com/@Colonylab/the-en… As part of the wind-down: • Liquidity remains untouched • Community funds remain accessible • The team’s CLY token allocation was never sold nor staked – 5 years community alignment • Final distributions will be made to CLY stakers

$40,000 worth of $MOVE airdropped today by Colony. 🙌 Tokens were sent straight to $CLY stakers wallets!

We've just performed another $MOVE airdrop. Over $62,000 distributed in this second drop!🔥 Tokens were sent straight to $CLY stakers wallets. 34 more airdrops to come.

43.3% of all C-Chain transactions ever happened in 2025. Momentum is here. Even more coming this year.

How’s the @avax community feeling these days? Checking in as we move toward 2026.

The first $MOVE airdrop is now live on Ethereum. Check your wallets. 👇 Over $73,000 distributed in this first drop — 35 more airdrops are coming.

Our Movement $MOVE seed allocation airdrop for $CLY stakers goes live soon. 🙌 Vesting unlocks begin tomorrow, 9 December. Make sure notifications are on and watch for our announcement. As @movement_xyz did not move forward with the previous Avalanche bridge plan, our airdrop will be distributed directly on Ethereum. Tokens will be sent straight to your wallets — ready for you to trade or use as you wish. No claiming fees this time. Our loyal stakers over the years, those who kept their stake active, added to it, and never performed any unstake actions, will receive over 80% of the airdrop as a gesture of recognition for their continued support and commitment. Keep in mind this is the first airdrop—35 additional $MOVE airdrop distributions will follow monthly, in line with the vesting schedule.

We’ve always been big fans and supporters of @PharaohExchange since inception. Thrilled to see their continued drive to build, refine, and push what’s possible on @avax🔺 Pharaoh V3 is live, bringing a modular, audited, gas-optimized architecture and the new xPHAR system. 🔗Migration is open at phar.gg ⚡️ If you’re a PHAR holder, LPer, or voter, this is your moment to ascend. Check the V3 docs to understand its power: 👉 docs.phar.gg Long live Pharaoh! 🏺

Pharaoh was born on @Avax, shaped by the network’s speed, security, and commitment to builders. 🔺 Through the continued support of the Ava Labs team and Avalanche Foundation, Pharaoh has emerged as one of the top 3 DEXs in the ecosystem, driving liquidity, governance, and on-chain alignment. Since v2, over $15M has been distributed back to holders through fees and incentives, cementing Pharaoh’s position as a yield-driven cornerstone of Avalanche DeFi. Now, the v3 migration portal at phar.gg is live: assets, governance, and liquidity now flow through upgraded contracts and xPHAR. Because locks belong on tombs, not votes.

10 Million will be sooner than you think 👀

#Avalanche DEXs are in full flight..volume is back at 2021 highs! Who’s buckled up for the @avax autumn lift-off?! #AVAX
