About Avalanche (AVAX)
Avalanche (AVAX) launched its mainnet in September 2020 after being founded by Cornell University professor Emin Gün Sirer and his students through Ava Labs. The project raised over $42 million in a public token sale that sold out in hours. AVAX is the native token used for staking, gas fees, and transaction settlement on the Avalanche network. Avalanche has a dynamic supply mechanism where transaction fees are burned, partially offsetting validator emissions.
Avalanche Technology
Avalanche uses a unique consensus protocol called Snowman (an evolution of the original Avalanche consensus), based on repeated random sampling of validator opinions. The platform consists of three built-in chains: the X-Chain for asset creation and transfers, the C-Chain (Contract Chain) which is fully EVM-compatible for smart contracts, and the P-Chain (Platform Chain) for coordinating validators and subnets. Subnets allow projects to launch their own customizable Layer 1 networks while leveraging the Avalanche security model.
What Moves the AVAX Price
AVAX trades with relatively high correlation to other Layer 1 alternatives (SOL, ADA, NEAR) and shows elevated beta to ETH during DeFi rotations. Daily spot volume on Binance, Bybit, and OKX typically ranges from $200-400 million. Key drivers include subnet launches and partnerships (gaming projects, RWA tokenization), DeFi TVL on Avalanche C-Chain, Avalanche9000 upgrade developments, and broader Layer 1 narrative momentum.

What are Avalanche subnets?
+

Notable examples include the DeFi Kingdoms subnet and Dexalot. Avalanche9000 made subnets significantly cheaper to launch.
How fast is Avalanche?
+
Avalanche achieves transaction finality in under two seconds for most transactions, with the C-Chain processing several thousand transactions per second under peak load. Snowman consensus does not require waiting for multiple block confirmations like Bitcoin or Ethereum L1.
Is AVAX deflationary?
+
Avalanche burns transaction fees instead of distributing them to validators, which counteracts AVAX emission from staking rewards. During high network activity, more AVAX is burned than minted, making the asset net deflationary. The maximum supply is capped at 720 million AVAX.
