What is Avalanche (AVAX)?
Avalanche (AVAX) is a smart contract-capable platform built to operate an ecosystem of decentralized applications.
With the aim of maximizing blockchain scalability, Avalanche uses a unique take on the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism that capitalizes on a random sampling of the network’s nodes to validate transactions. It also divides its structure into three separate interoperable chains and creates the opportunity for scaling through subnetworks of validators that can operate independently and thus more efficiently.
AVAX, Avalanche’s token, is used as a payment method, to process transactions, for securing the network through staking, and in the platform’s governance mechanism.
