Avalanche FAQ
- What is Avalanche?
- Avalanche (AVAX) is a proof-of-stake platform launched in 2020. Its distinguishing feature is the Subnet architecture — the Primary Network hosts smart contracts while custom application-specific Subnets run in parallel with their own validators and rules.
- What are Avalanche Subnets?
- Subnets are sovereign chains that inherit security from a set of validators they choose. DeFi Kingdoms, Dexalot, and many institutional chains (including JPMorgan's Onyx integration) use Subnets for compliance-friendly deployments.
- How is Avalanche different from Ethereum?
- Both support EVM smart contracts. Avalanche offers sub-second finality thanks to its novel Avalanche consensus and can horizontally scale via Subnets rather than relying on L2 rollups. The trade-off is more fragmentation across subnets.
- Can I stake AVAX?
- Yes. Minimum self-stake is 2 000 AVAX for a validator; delegators can start from 25 AVAX. Staking is non-custodial via supported wallets. Slashing exists for uptime-related faults but not for consensus attacks.
