Avalanche is a decentralized, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain network launched in September 2020 by Emin Gün Sirer, founder of Ava Labs. The network is powered by a Proof of Stake (Pos) consensus mechanism, and features three integrated blockchains, Exchange Chain (X-Chain), Platform Chain (P-Chain), and Contract Chain (C-Chain):
- X Chain is used for creating and transferring digital assets- P Chain is used for staking, validator management, and L1 creation - C Chain is used for supporting Ethereum decentralized apps (dapps), and Ethereum services The native cryptocurrency of Avalanche is called AVAX. The AVAX token is ERC-20, meaning it is compatible with the Ethereum network. It is a utility token that is largely used for transaction fees on the network, staking, and governance on Avalanche, as well as within dapps.Token type: Utility/DeFi| Today (March 6, 2026) | $9.03 | -4.53% |
