Avalanche
Avalanche ($AVAX) is an open-source platform for launching highly decentralized applications, new financial primitives, and new interoperable blockchains.
Quick Facts
- Avalanche is a Layer 1 blockchain
- Avalanche utilizes Snowball, a custom designed “Proof of Stake” (POS) consensus algorithm. Users are required to stake AVAX to become transaction validators. Validator nodes in a subnet repeatedly query each other to determine the validity of the network’s transactions until they reach a common decision — and thus establish network-wide consensus.
- Avalanche claims it can process up to 4,500 Transactions Per Second (TPS) per subnet and has unlimited capacity for generating subnets.
- Avalanche’s average Cost Per Transaction (CPT) is 58.3367 nAVAX
