Avalanche

Avalanche is a blockchain platform that supports fast transactions and customizable subnets.

What Is Avalanche (AVAX)? Avalanche is a high-speed blockchain platform that enables customizable subnets and decentralized applications with fast transaction finality and low fees.

A blockchain that uses a unique consensus protocol based on repeated random sampling. It consists of three specialized chains (X-Chain, P-Chain, and C-Chain) for asset creation, validator coordination, and Ethereum-compatible smart contract execution.

Enterprise Subnets: Used for staking to secure a multi-chain network and to pay fees on “subnets”—customizable blockchains tailored to specific institutional or gaming use cases.

Multi-Chain Utility: Uses a burn-and-mint model across three chains (X, P, and C). Used for staking to secure the network and for creating subnets—custom independent blockchains that can inherit Avalanche’s security properties.
