#16 – Avalanche ( $AVAX )

Avalanche is a fast, smart-contract blockchain built for speed, low fees, and energy efficiency. It uses a unique setup of three focused chains (X-Chain, C-Chain, P-Chain) that work together to keep things running smoothly.

A key feature is its Subnet architecture, allowing developers and institutions to launch custom blockchains tailored to specific needs.

Key Facts:

- Token: AVAX (native token)

- Max supply (capped): ~720 million AVAX

- Circulating supply (mid‑2025): ~422 million AVAX

- Launch year: 2020, by Ava Labs

What You Can Do with AVAX:

- Pay for transactions (gas fees)

- Stake AVAX to secure the network and earn rewards

- Vote on proposals affecting the Avalanche ecosystem

- Use subnets—institutional or gaming applications

Real-World Uses:

- Popular for DeFi (like Trader Joe, Benqi) and NFT platforms

- Institutions use subnets for tokenized assets, and digital IDs

- Avalanche is gaining traction in gaming and public infrastructure

Real-World Analogy:

Imagine Avalanche as a high-speed train network with custom lines (subnets) for different needs. AVAX is the ticket which is used to ride, help run the lines (stake), and shape where new tracks are built (governance).
