About
Avalanche
Avalanche is a blockchain platform that combines high throughput, low latency, and an eco-friendly approach, due primarily to its unique consensus mechanism and architecture, which spans three chains: the P-Chain (for staking and validation), the C-Chain (for smart contracts/DeFi applications) and the X-Chain (for transferring assets).
Its native crypto, AVAX, serves a dual process: it’s used both in staking to secure the network, and as a gas token,much like ETH on Ethereum.
Transactions on Avalanche can take less than a second.
Avalanche Subnets enable anyone to spin up custom blockchains.
The initial proposal for Avalanche was published by Team Rocket, a pseudonymous group of developers, in 2018.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best AVAX wallet?
The best AVAX wallet depends on the user. For ease of use, it’s hard to beat Avalanche Wallet — a browser-based offering with rich functionality for interacting with the ecosystem. For a more portable solution, Ava Labs’ Core Wallet or Consensys’ MetaMask have you covered. Prefer to use hardware wallets? Ledger is a more secure solution (at the cost of being slightly more cumbersome to use). Of course, if you don’t want to self-custody your funds, custodial wallets (such as those on exchanges like Binance, Coinbase or Kraken) allow you to outsource your security — however, you lose some of the flexibility offered by mobile wallets and hardware solutions.
