Avalanche is an open-source platform designed for launching DeFi applications and enterprise blockchain solutions. Its unique structure uses three blockchains: X-Chain (asset management), C-Chain (smart contracts), and P-Chain (validator coordination). Avalanche confirms transactions in less than a second and supports millions of validators using Proof-of-Stake. Its native token, AVAX, is used for staking and transaction fees.
