Avalanche upgrades to ‘Banff 5’ to introduce direct communication between subnets

The Avalanche developers have upgraded AvalancheGo — the software implementation of the blockchain in the Go programming language — to “Banff 5.”

The upgrade introduces a communication protocol for Avalanche-based blockchains (called subnets) known as Avalanche Warp Messaging. The feature will allow subnets to share data and crypto assets with each other in an effort to make the Avalanche blockchain ecosystem more useful for developers.
