Avalanche Price Today

Avalanche is a layer one blockchain to create DApps and custom blockchain networks launched in 2018 by Ava Labs with its founders Emin Gün Sirer, Kevin Sekniqi and Maofan Yin. AVAX aims to solve the "blockchain trilemma" in which blockchains have trouble spreading out among many people when they get big. This can cause expensive fees, like on Ethereum, when many people use the network.

What Makes AVAX Unique?

1. Avalanche uses a specific 3 blockchain approach to achieve its goals (C-Chain, X-Chain, and P-Chain)
2. The Exchange Chain (X-Chain) is used to create assets, send and receive funds with a cheap fee
3. The Contract Chain (C-Chain) is used to host smart contracts and decentralized applications
4. The Platform Chain (P-Chain) is used for staking AVAX and facilitating validator activities

What Affects the Price of AVAX?

1. Supply and demand
2. AVAX's adoption over Ethereum

What Gives AVAX Value?

1. Fast transaction processing time—4,500 transactions per second versus Ethereum's limit of about 15
2. Better scalability and transaction fee than Ethereum

How Secure Is The AVAX  Network?

AVAX is traded on the Exchange Chain, which follows its Avalanche consensus mechanism. It uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) protocol which enables immediate finalization and significantly improves the blockchain’s speed.
