About Avalanche

Avalanche is an open, programmable smart contracts platform for decentralized applications. Developers can build fast, low cost, Solidity-compatible dApps, and launch Ethereum dApps that confirm transactions instantly and process thousands of transactions per second.

Validators can stake, or lock up, AVAX tokens to help process transactions and further secure the platform–providing security guarantees well-above the 51% standard. It allows projects building on top of Avalanche to scale to millions of validators with minimal hardware.
