What is Avalanche

Avalanche is a layer 1 blockchain for smart contracts and token issuance, and AVAX is its native coin. It is built by Ava Labs, a US company co-founded by Emin Gün Sirer, while the Avalanche Foundation supports the wider ecosystem. The consensus protocol was first described in a 2018 paper published under the pseudonym Team Rocket, and mainnet went live in September 2020.

The Primary Network runs three chains. The X-Chain handles asset transfers, the P-Chain tracks validators and coordinates new networks, and the C-Chain runs smart contracts on an implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), so standard Ethereum wallets and tools work there. Consensus comes from the Snow family of protocols: validators repeatedly poll small random samples of other nodes and settle on a decision without a single leader, with sampling weighted by stake. AVAX supply is capped at 720 million coins, transaction fees are burned, and new coins enter circulation as staking rewards.

AVAX pays fees on the Primary Network, is staked to secure it, and covers the ongoing fee that validators of separate Avalanche L1 chains pay to the P-Chain. That reflects the project’s central idea: teams can launch their own chains, formerly called subnets, with their own rules, validator sets and even their own gas token. The Avalanche9000 upgrade in December 2024 made launching them cheaper. Where Ethereum scales through layer 2 networks on top of a single base chain, Avalanche relies on many independent chains that share one validator registry.

What it’s used for

paying fees on the X-Chain, P-Chain and C-Chain
staking by running a validator or delegating
funding validators of separate Avalanche L1 chains on the P-Chain
collateral and payments in DeFi apps on the C-Chain

Risks

staking rewards mint new AVAX, so supply keeps growing for as long as issuance outpaces fee burns
Avalanche L1 chains can charge fees in their own tokens, so ecosystem growth does not automatically mean more demand for AVAX
stiff competition from Ethereum, its layer 2 networks and other blockchains for developers and liquidity

Questions

How much is Avalanche worth today?

As of November 11, 2026, Avalanche trades at $8.34. Over 24 hours the price moved −3.47%, over 7 days −2.42%. The price on this page refreshes automatically.

How many AVAX are in circulation?

445.8 M AVAX are in circulation. Max supply is 720.0 M AVAX, so 61.9% has been issued. The fully diluted value of all coins is $3.93B.

What is the Avalanche all-time high?

The all-time high of $144.96 was set on November 21, 2021. The price is now 94.25% below it. The all-time low was $2.80 (December 31, 2020).

How do I stake AVAX?

You can run your own Primary Network validator (minimum 2,000 AVAX) or delegate to someone else’s validator (minimum 25 AVAX). Avalanche has no slashing: if a validator misses its uptime target, only the reward is lost, and the staked coins come back at the end of the term.

Which network should I use to withdraw AVAX?

Most wallets and apps use the C-Chain, where addresses start with 0x just like on Ethereum. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses look different (X-avax1... and P-avax1...), so check that the network you pick on the exchange matches the one your wallet supports.
