Avalanche has activated Helicon, its network upgrade that promises up to 100 times faster block verification. The upgrade went live on September 22, 2026, at 11 AM ET, delivered through AvalancheGo v1.15.0.

Helicon bundles six Avalanche Community Proposals (ACPs) into one release, touching everything from how transactions get processed to how validators earn rewards.

The headline feature is Continuous Execution, formally known as ACP-194. It separates two jobs the C-Chain used to handle in lockstep: agreeing on blocks and executing the transactions inside them.
