About This Pair
About Avalanche (AVAX)
Avalanche (AVAX) is a layer-1 blockchain platform launched in 2020 by Ava Labs, founded by Cornell computer scientists led by Dr. Emin Gün Sirer. Designed to solve the blockchain trilemma of scalability, security, and decentralization, Avalanche offers high throughput, near-instant finality, and energy efficiency through its unique consensus protocol and multi-chain architecture.
Three-Chain Architecture
Avalanche operates on three interoperable blockchains: the Exchange Chain (X-Chain) for creating and trading digital assets, the Contract Chain (C-Chain) for Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, and the Platform Chain (P-Chain) for coordinating validators and creating subnets. This separation of concerns allows each chain to optimize for its specific purpose, enhancing the overall performance and capabilities of the network.
Consensus Mechanism
Avalanche introduces a novel consensus protocol that combines the benefits of classical and Nakamoto consensus mechanisms. The Avalanche consensus achieves high throughput (4,500+ transactions per second) and sub-second finality while maintaining strong security guarantees. The protocol is also energy-efficient, making Avalanche more environmentally friendly than proof-of-work blockchains.
Chain Selection
When transferring AVAX, it's crucial to specify the correct chain. Most exchanges and DeFi applications use the C-Chain (for EVM compatibility), while the X-Chain is typically used for AVAX transfers between wallets. Sending tokens to the wrong chain can result in lost funds. Our exchange clearly indicates which chain is being used for your transaction to ensure a seamless experience. Always verify the destination address format before confirming any AVAX transaction.
