What is Avalanche?

Avalanche launched in September 2020 through Ava Labs, a company founded by computer scientist Emin Gün Sirer.

Its main application network, the C-Chain, is compatible with Ethereum tooling. In addition, any project can launch its own blockchain inside the ecosystem, with rules and validators it defines.

How Avalanche works

Consensus works by repeated sampling: each validator polls small random groups of other validators until the network converges on a decision, which takes around one second.

AVAX pays fees, which are burned, and is staked to validate the network. Maximum supply is 720 million units.

What AVAX is used for

  • Paying transaction fees on the network.
  • Staking to validate the network or delegate to validators.
  • Foundation for custom blockchains for companies, games and tokenized assets.

Risks and points of attention

  • Intense competition with Ethereum, its layer-2 networks and other platforms.
  • Running a validator requires a large AVAX deposit, which limits direct participation.
  • Activity spread across several blockchains in the ecosystem, which can fragment liquidity.
  • High volatility.
