Figment launched support for Avalanche in their DataHub - you can build on Avalanche using their infrastructure for free via a suite of APIs (no need to run your own node).
One Avalanche-Ethereum Bridge had entered it’s final stage of testing. Built by Chainsafe, the bridge is two-way token bridge that enables ERC-20 and ERC-721 transfers between Avalanche (via the C-Chain) and Ethereum.
