What is Avalanche?
Avalanche is a layer 1 blockchain platform that enables developers to launch customizable Layer 1 blockchains within a natively interconnected ecosystem. Launched in 2020, its native token AVAX is used to pay transaction fees, secure the network, and serve as a basic unit of account among Avalanche blockchains. The Avalanche blockchain enables near-instant transaction completion and can process 4,500 transactions per second. Avalanche is also an open-source project, which means anyone can view and contribute to the platform's code.
