About

What is Avalanche?

Avalanche is a Layer 1 smart-contract platform built around three interoperating chains and a novel consensus protocol that achieves sub-second transaction finality. AVAX is used for transaction fees, staking, and securing the network's subnets.

History

Origin & evolution

Founded by Cornell professor Emin Gün Sirer and Ava Labs, Avalanche's mainnet launched in September 2020. Its Subnets architecture has been adopted for app-specific chains in gaming, DeFi, and institutional finance pilots.
