$AVAX
AVAX is the native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche network, an open-source blockchain platform designed to provide a flexible, fast, and secure infrastructure for decentralized applications (DApps) and financial networks. The Avalanche network was launched in 2020 by Ava Labs and its founder, Professor Emin Gun Sirer, an academic specializing in blockchain systems.
AVAX and Avalanche network features:
1. Speed and performance:
Avalanche relies on a unique consensus mechanism known as the Avalanche Consensus Protocol, which allows transactions to be confirmed in less than a second. This speed is one of the network's most prominent features compared to other networks such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Blockchain compatibility
The Avalanche network can interact with other blockchain networks such as Ethereum, facilitating the transfer of assets and digital currencies between different networks using Bridges technology.
Scalability and Scalability
Avalanche supports the creation of subnets, giving developers the flexibility to build private networks that fit their project needs without impacting the overall performance of the network.
AVAX is used to secure the network through a staking mechanism, where users can lock their coins to contribute to the security of the network and receive rewards. Additionally, the coin is used to pay transaction fees and create subnets.
