Dive deeper into Avalanche

Avalanche is a Layer 1 decentralized blockchain network built to support complex applications and custom blockchain functions. Avalanche aims to be a leading Ethereum alternative, competing with other popular chains such as Solana and Cardano for the title of "Ethereum Killer."

Thanks to its scalable architecture, the Avalanche network can handle up to 6,500 transactions per second and has comparatively low gas fees. A wide variety of decentralized applications (dApps) are hosted by Avalanche, which resulted in a record-breaking total value locked (TVL) of $12 billion in late 2021. At the same time, the abundance of dApps on the Avalanche blockchain increased demand for the AVAX token and had a favorable impact on the cryptocurrency's price.

Avalanche also employs an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which makes it much easier and faster for developers to port and deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts and applications to the Avalanche network. With the familiar user experience, new users can be easily and quickly onboarded to the Avalanche chain.

AVAX is Avalanche's native token, required to pay the necessary gas fees when completing transactions on the Avalanche network. In addition, AVAX token holders can vote on protocol governance issues and have a say in the future development of the blockchain.

AVAX price and tokenomics

The maximum token supply of Avalanche is 720 million. On November 21, 2021, AVAX hit an all-time high of $146. This represents a period when new and innovative DeFi platforms chose the Avalanche network to host their applications. On top of that, Avalanche was a standout performer during the 2021 bull run.

In a series of private and public funding rounds, 360 million AVAX tokens were minted and sold to early supporters, raising $55 million. They are distributed as follows: The Avalanche founders and project receive 19.3 percent, investors receive 16 percent, and pre-mined rewards and community airdrops receive 64.7 percent. AVAX tokens will be continuously distributed to holders via staking rewards over the next several decades. Furthermore, the Avalanche supply schedule outlines consistent token unlocks over several years.

About the founders

The Avalanche network was founded by Ava Labs. Emin Gün Sirer, a well-known computer scientist, leads the Ava Labs venture. Gün Sirer is a Cornell University associate professor best known for his contributions to peer-to-peer (P2P) systems and computer networking. He was also a pioneer in Bitcoin scaling solutions. Kevin Sekniqi and Maofan Yin, who have PHDs in computer science, are other senior members of the Ava Labs team.

What makes Avalanche unique

The Avalanche network has a unique framework that sets it apart from competing chains. It is made up of several blockchains, each of which serves a distinct purpose with different responsibilities.

Avalanche Exchange Chain

Avalanche's X-Chain is built using a directed acyclic graph (DAG), exclusively used to send and receive money. By isolating these transactions, the Avalanche network reduces congestion and enables faster, cheaper payments.

Avalanche Platform Chain

Avalanche's P-Chain is used for staking and validation. On the P-Chain, Avalanche users can become validators to receive staking rewards.

Avalanche Contract Chain

Avalanche's C-Chain is the execution layer that is fully smart contract-compatible and can support dApps. The C-Chain is the home of all Avalanche DeFi protocols and NFT functions.

ESG Disclosure

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations for crypto assets aim to address their environmental impact (e.g., energy-intensive mining), promote transparency, and ensure ethical governance practices to align the crypto industry with broader sustainability and societal goals. These regulations encourage compliance with standards that mitigate risks and foster trust in digital assets.

Consensus Mechanism
Avalanche AVAX is present on the following networks: Avalanche, Avalanche X Chain. The Avalanche blockchain network employs a unique Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism called Avalanche Consensus, which involves three interconnected protocols: Snowball, Snowflake, and Avalanche. Avalanche Consensus Process 1. Snowball Protocol: o Random Sampling: Each validator randomly samples a small, constant-sized subset of other validators. Repeated Polling: Validators repeatedly poll the sampled validators to determine the preferred transaction. Confidence Counters: Validators maintain confidence counters for each transaction, incrementing them each time a sampled validator supports their preferred transaction. Decision Threshold: Once the confidence counter exceeds a pre-defined threshold, the transaction is considered accepted. 2. Snowflake Protocol: Binary Decision: Enhances the Snowball protocol by incorporating a binary decision process. Validators decide between two conflicting transactions. Binary Confidence: Confidence counters are used to track the preferred binary decision. Finality: When a binary decision reaches a certain confidence level, it becomes final. 3. Avalanche Protocol: DAG Structure: Uses a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) structure to organize transactions, allowing for parallel processing and higher throughput. Transaction Ordering: Transactions are added to the DAG based on their dependencies, ensuring a consistent order. Consensus on DAG: While most Proof-of-Stake Protocols use a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus, Avalanche uses the Avalanche Consensus, Validators reach consensus on the structure and contents of the DAG through repeated Snowball and Snowflake. The Cronos POS Chain operates as a Layer-0 blockchain within the Cosmos ecosystem, utilizing the Tendermint Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine. It employs a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) model, where the top 100 validators by total staked CRO tokens form the active set responsible for block production and network security.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Avalanche AVAX is present on the following networks: Avalanche, Avalanche X Chain. Avalanche uses a consensus mechanism known as Avalanche Consensus, which relies on a combination of validators, staking, and a novel approach to consensus to ensure the network's security and integrity. Validators: Staking: Validators on the Avalanche network are required to stake AVAX tokens. The amount staked influences their probability of being selected to propose or validate new blocks. Rewards: Validators earn rewards for their participation in the consensus process. These rewards are proportional to the amount of AVAX staked and their uptime and performance in validating transactions. Delegation: Validators can also accept delegations from other token holders. Delegators share in the rewards based on the amount they delegate, which incentivizes smaller holders to participate indirectly in securing the network. 2. Economic Incentives: Block Rewards: Validators receive block rewards for proposing and validating blocks. These rewards are distributed from the network’s inflationary issuance of AVAX tokens. Transaction Fees: Validators also earn a portion of the transaction fees paid by users. This includes fees for simple transactions, smart contract interactions, and the creation of new assets on the network. 3. Penalties: Slashing: Unlike some other PoS systems, Avalanche does not employ slashing (i.e., the confiscation of staked tokens) as a penalty for misbehavior. Instead, the network relies on the financial disincentive of lost future rewards for validators who are not consistently online or act maliciously. o Uptime Requirements: Validators must maintain a high level of uptime and correctly validate transactions to continue earning rewards. Poor performance or malicious actions result in missed rewards, providing a strong economic incentive to act honestly. Fees on the Avalanche Blockchain 1. Transaction Fees: Dynamic Fees: Transaction fees on Avalanche are dynamic, varying based on network demand and the complexity of the transactions. This ensures that fees remain fair and proportional to the network's usage. Fee Burning: A portion of the transaction fees is burned, permanently removing them from circulation. This deflationary mechanism helps to balance the inflation from block rewards and incentivizes token holders by potentially increasing the value of AVAX over time. 2. Smart Contract Fees: Execution Costs: Fees for deploying and interacting with smart contracts are determined by the computational resources required. These fees ensure that the network remains efficient and that resources are used responsibly. 3. Asset Creation Fees: New Asset Creation: There are fees associated with creating new assets (tokens) on the Avalanche network. These fees help to prevent spam and ensure that only serious projects use the network's resources. Validator incentives on the X-Chain are indirect and come from network-wide AVAX issuance. Transaction fees are fixed and burned to prevent spam and reduce the total supply of AVAX over time

Key energy sources and methodologies
To determine the proportion of renewable energy usage, the locations of the nodes are to be determined using public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. If no information is available on the geographic distribution of the nodes, reference networks are used which are comparable in terms of their incentivization structure and consensus mechanism. This geo-information is merged with public information from Our World in Data, see citation. The intensity is calculated as the marginal energy cost wrt. one more transaction.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
The energy consumption of this asset is aggregated across multiple components: For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called 'bottom-up' approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation. The information regarding the hardware used and the number of participants in the network is based on assumptions that are verified with best effort using empirical data. In general, participants are assumed to be largely economically rational. As a precautionary principle, we make assumptions on the conservative side when in doubt, i.e. making higher estimates for the adverse impacts. To determine the energy consumption of a token, the energy consumption of the network(s) avalanche, avalanche_x_chain is calculated first. For the energy consumption of the token, a fraction of the energy consumption of the network is attributed to the token, which is determined based on the activity of the crypto-asset within the network. When calculating the energy consumption, the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) is used - if available - to determine all implementations of the asset in scope. The mappings are updated regularly, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
