O’Grady recently worked on the Vryx scaling solution, which Ava Labs hopes will allow the Avalanche blockchain to scale to 100,000 transactions per second, a goal that even modern blockchains like Monad, MegaETH, and TON are aiming to achieve.
O’Grady, who announced that he will remain a technical advisor at Ava Labs, revealed few details about the new venture, but hinted at its areas of focus in a direct message to The Block.
“Application developers need an open, performant framework that can power any on-chain experience with a unique combination of networking, storage, and consensus,” O’Grady wrote. “The most popular applications on the web today are relentlessly pursuing performance and efficiency—means of delivering more value to their users. I believe the most popular applications of the on-chain era will lead the way by doing the same.”
“I look forward to continuing to contribute to an internet we can all trust. See you on the chain,” O’Grady wrote in closing his announcement.
