Tassat Group migrated its Lynq settlement network to a dedicated Avalanche Layer 1 blockchain on April 29, 2026. The move aims to provide institutional users with deterministic finality and improved validator governance.
Why it matters
The migration allows Tassat to manage its own network validators and parameters independently of the main Avalanche blockchain. This configuration is intended to meet the specific reliability and performance requirements of its institutional partners.
The Lynq network supports more than 30 institutional partners and has processed a total of over $2.5 trillion in transactions. Its proprietary Yield-in-Transit feature for the TFND product generates yield every 2 seconds.
The players
Tassat Group

Avalanche Payments Collective
The Avalanche Payments Collective is an industry group focused on developing and promoting payment infrastructure on the Avalanche blockchain network.
The details
By shifting to a dedicated Layer 1, the platform maintained full state continuity throughout the transition process. This infrastructure also supports the integration of Lynq into the Avalanche Payments Collective, which it joined in June 2026.
Timeline
July 2025: Lynq commercialized its platform.
April 29, 2026: The Lynq network migrated to a dedicated Avalanche Layer 1.
June 2026: Lynq became a founding member of the Avalanche Payments Collective.
Market Landscape
The migration follows the established industry trend of financial firms deploying dedicated Avalanche subnets to isolate institutional traffic from public network congestion. This move strengthens Tassat's position by offering a private, governed environment that rivals traditional enterprise blockchain offerings.
Institutional clients using the Lynq network benefit from more stable transaction processing and independent network oversight. The transition ensures that existing users experience uninterrupted service while gaining access to enhanced infrastructure features.
The takeaway
The transition to a dedicated Layer 1 highlights how financial institutions are increasingly prioritizing sovereign network governance over public blockchain integration. This shift reflects a maturing approach to blockchain where private control is viewed as a prerequisite for large-scale institutional settlement.
