AIP Idea: Otherside as an Avalanche Subnet

Okay, this is a little frustrating to see. We have recieved no further messages here from the Ava Team, but they are talking to news outlets. Here are some quotes of how they are taking our feedback.

“Some of the conversations that have been generated and driven from this initial proposal, and folks we’ve met in the community, have been extremely productive,” said Chang. “We’re excited about continuing down this path.”

Ava Labs has not yet communicated directly with Yuga Labs, as of now, but Liu and Chang told Decrypt that they’ve seen positive feedback from the Bored Ape community.

For Ava Labs and Avalanche, Chang said that education may be key, as people who are immersed in Ethereum may not understand Avalanche’s differences. However, he also said that they can “get creative” about bridging—such as only partially transitioning the ecosystem to Avalanche, and perhaps leaving some Bored Ape NFTs on Ethereum.

“It doesn’t necessarily need to be all-or-nothing right off the bat,” said Chang. “There are ways that we can work with the team to make this a graceful transition, if you will—including even the ETH maxis.”

This isn’t the only article and outlet they’ve been speaking to. This closes in one day without a single direct team response to the DAO regarding this proposal nor updates to exclude Otherside.
