Avalanche

About

Avalanche is an open-source Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform designed for decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi, gaming, tokenization, institutional blockchain solutions, and custom blockchain networks. The ecosystem is powered by AVAX, its native utility token used for transaction fees, staking, and network security. Developed by Ava Labs and launched on mainnet in September 2020, Avalanche uses its Snow family of consensus protocols to support fast finality and scalable blockchain infrastructure. Its architecture is built around the P-Chain, C-Chain, and X-Chain, each serving a different role within the network.
