How does Avalanche work?
Avalanche uses a novel consensus family called Avalanche Consensus (Snowman variant), based on repeated random subsampling of validators. The result is sub-second finality with high throughput. The network has three built-in chains: the Exchange Chain (X-Chain) for asset transfers, the Contract Chain (C-Chain) for EVM-compatible smart contracts, and the Platform Chain (P-Chain) for staking and subnet coordination. AVAX is used for staking, transaction fees, and as the unit of account on the platform. Validators must stake at least 2,000 AVAX.
How much Avalanche is in circulation?
There are currently 431,771,961 AVAX in circulation out of a maximum supply of 720,000,000, meaning approximately 60% of the total AVAX that will ever exist has been issued. New tokens enter circulation through the protocol's pre-defined emission schedule.
How can I buy Avalanche?

Is Avalanche a good investment?
Cryptocurrencies, including Avalanche, are highly volatile and carry significant risk of loss. Whether Avalanche is appropriate for a given portfolio depends on the investor's individual risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial situation. Always research the project's fundamentals, understand the risks, and only allocate capital you can afford to lose. This page provides market data only, not personalised investment advice. Consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
How is Avalanche different from Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) was the first cryptocurrency, designed primarily as a digital store of value and peer-to-peer payment network with a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Avalanche (AVAX) focuses on different design goals, with a different technical design, supply schedule, and ecosystem. Bitcoin derives its value primarily from scarcity, security, and brand recognition, while Avalanche's value is tied to adoption within its specific use case and underlying network effects.
