IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Avalanche public blockchain is an internet-based distributed ledger and computing platform composed of many different and evolving components contributed by a wide variety of participants. Avalanche continues to grow and change through the efforts of its community. 

Ava Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Ava Labs,” “we” and “our”) are active members of that community. We contribute to the continuing development, implementation, and maintenance of Avalanche and the Avalanche community by funding, publicizing and otherwise encouraging the following, among other things: 

We also provide support to the Avalanche Foundation in its various activities, for which we receive compensation. We, as well as our employees and other people and organizations associated with us, may give, receive, lend, borrow, purchase, and sell AVAX tokens and various other cryptoassets (whether fungible or nonfungible tokens) created on or associated with the Avalanche public blockchain and the smart contracts and dApps that run on Avalanche. Such transactions and transfers may occur as private sales, and in open market transactions, and/or through DeFi protocols and other means. We may offer or receive preferential pricing in certain transactions, usually based on volume. 

All of the above software, content and activities are referred to in this Notice as our “Software, Content, and Activities.” Sometimes we are paid in connection with our Software, Content, and Activities, while other times we are not. We are a for-profit company.
