Avalanche (AVAX) is a blockchain launched in September 2020.
It was designed to overcome the speed, scalability and security limitations encountered by other blockchain networks.
It has rapidly gained popularity thanks to its technical innovations.
Avalanche stands out for its unique consensus, enabling fast transactions and near-instantaneous finality.
Since its launch, Avalanche has attracted significant attention, becoming a platform of choice for decentralized application developers and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.

Created by Ava Labs and Professor Emin Gün Sirer, Avalanche stands out for its unique approach to consensus, contributing to increased adoption in the financial sector and DeFi in particular.

In addition to venture capital backing, Avalanche is also attracting interest from crypto and technology investors, recognizing its growth potential.
Major investors in Avalanche (AVAX) include Polychain Capital, Three Arrows Capital and Dragonfly Capital, who participated in a $230 million funding round.
This financing represents the largest investment in the Avalanche ecosystem to date.

Scalability and speed: Avalanche is capable of processing more than 4,500 transactions per second with transaction finality in a matter of seconds, far surpassing the capabilities of many other traditional blockchains.
This enhanced speed is ideal for decentralized financial applications (DeFi) and other dApps.
Affordable transaction fees: Thanks to its optimized structure, Avalanche offers competitive transaction fees, making the platform attractive to users and developers looking to avoid the high costs often associated with more congested blockchains.
Interoperability: Its C-Chain is compatible with Ethereum smart contracts (via the Ethereum Virtual Machine – EVM), enabling developers to migrate or deploy their existing dApps without too many changes.
Flexibility with Subnets: Avalanche’s subnets enable developers to create customized blockchains to meet their specific governance and security needs, while maintaining interoperability with the entire Avalanche network.
Security and decentralization: Avalanche’s consensus mechanism ensures high resistance to attacks and increased decentralization, reinforcing the security of applications hosted on the network.
Governance: AVAX token holders can participate in governance, giving them a say in changes to the network, such as protocol updates or economic policies.
