What is Avalanche Crypto?

 

What is Avalanche Crypto (AVAX)

Avalanche Network

Avalanche is one of the fastest networks in the Blockchain industry (> 4,500 TPS).

The Avalanche network is based on PoS (Proof-of-Stake) protocol with Smart Contract execution time measured by time-to-finality (< 2 seconds).

Its mainnet was launched on September 21, 2020, which includes 3 built-in blockchains: Exchange Chain (X-Chain), Platform Chain (P-Chain), and Contract Chain (C-Chain).

All 3 blockchains are secured and validated by the Primary Network. The Primary Network is an exclusive subnet, where all members of custom subnets must join the Primary Network by staking at least 2,000 AVAX.

In just a few months after the mainnet event, Avalanche has grown rapidly with over 100+ individual projects, $1.4M+ of AVAX burned (reducing supply), 950+ individual block-producing validators.

 

 

Exchange Chain (X-Chain)

The X-Chain is a decentralized platform on Avalanche network for creating and trading digital smart assets, where fees are denominated in AVAX.

It represents the concept of Avalanche Virtual Machine (AVM).

 

Platform Chain (P-Chain)

The P-Chain serves as the metadata blockchain on Avalanche, which coordinates validators, keeps track of active subnets, and enables the creation of new subnets.

It implements the Snowman consensus protocol, allows clients to create subnets, add validators to subnets, and create blockchains.

Contract Chain (C-Chain)

The C-Chain enables the creation of Smart Contracts which based on the concept of Ethereum Virtual Machine.

 

What is Avalanche Crypto (AVAX)

$AVAX is the native token of Avalanche Blockchain on C-Chain in the standard of ARC-20.

The token plays an important role that ensures the stability and security of Avalanche network.

• Pay for transaction fee
• Stake to secure the network and earn reward
• Open governance

 

What is ANT Avalanche

$ANT stands for Avalanche Native Token. The token exists on the X-Chain with a fixed-cap (variable-cap token).

ANT token has no counterpart within the EVM. Hence, the C-Chain has some minor modifications to support holding ANT balances and transferring ANTs to the C-Chain.

 

Avalanche ARC-20

Avalanche ARC-20 is a token standard that matches ERC-20 standard on Ethereum.

It basically wraps an underlying Avalanche Native Token that enables users to bridge tokens from Ethereum to Avalanche.

 

Avalanche Bridge

The Avalanche Bridge (AB) lets users transfer ERC-20 tokens from Ethereum to Avalanche’s C-Chain and vice versa.

You can access Avalanche Bridge at bridge.avax.network

 

Avalanche Dapps

Dapps on Avalanche are growing rapidly from DeFi to Gaming, NFT, DAO, etc.

Avalanche Network is now adopted by popular Ethereum Dapps as Anyswap, Pangolin, etc.

Avalanche Coin Price Prediction

If the Avalanche network keeps growing speedily at this rate with more Dapps integrated,  more people will use $AVAX to pay for transaction fees.

It basically means the price will most likely go up in the long run.
