Avalanche introduce Banff: Elastic Subnets
Banff unlocks the ability for Subnet creators to activate Proof-of-Stake validation and uptime-based rewards using their own token on their own Subnet. Subnets that choose to enable these new features must undergo a one-time transformation into a new type of Subnet called an Elastic Subnet.
When enabling Elastic Validation, the creator permanently locks the Subnet from future modification (they relinquish their control keys), specifies an Avalanche Native Token (ANT) that validators must use for staking and that will be distributed as staking rewards, and provides a set of parameters that govern how the Subnet’s staking mechanics will work
