Avalanche(AVAX)項目的旧称为Ava/AVA,是一个开源平台,用于启动高度分权的应用程序,新金融原语和新的可互操作的区块链。使用突破性的共识协议构架,可以在一秒内确认交易的智能合约平台,支持Ethereum开发工具包的全部内容,使数百万个完整的区块生产者成为可能。
Avalanche是由康奈尔大学教授、IC3联合创始人Emin Gün Sirer、计算机学者Kevin Sekniqi和Facebook Libra协议HotStuff共识第一作者Ted Yin共同创立。Avalanche主导开发的AVA区块链平台是基于革命性的共识算法——Avalanche构建的数字支付和计算平台。该共识使分布式账本实现高度去中心化、高并发处理和交易的快速确认,同时实现历史记录删减和链上治理。AVA区块链平台的核心是一组统一且可互操作的基础设施,使得任何人都能够在AVA的生态系统中根据自己的需求建立区块链网络或在区块链上发行资产。
Avalanche is a high throughput smart contract blockchain platform. Validators secure the network through a proof-of-stake consensus protocol. It is said to be fast, low cost, and environmental friendly.
Mainnet was launched in September 21, 2020. Since then, the platform has grown to secure over 100+ individual projects, $1.4M+ of AVAX burned (reducing supply), 950+ individual block-producing validators, and over 500k+ community members around the globe. Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications can be found on Avalanche such as Pangolin, TraderJoe, and more.
