About Avalanche
Avalanche (AVAX) is a fast, low-cost smart-contract blockchain platform designed for high throughput and near-instant transaction finality. It uses a distinctive consensus mechanism and a multi-chain architecture, including customisable 'subnets' that let businesses and projects launch their own tailored blockchains. Avalanche hosts decentralised finance, gaming and enterprise applications, with AVAX as its native token for fees, staking and governance. It competes with Ethereum, Solana and other smart-contract platforms. Avalanche is a sizeable but highly volatile and high-risk cryptocurrency whose value depends on continued adoption of its network.
