About Blockchains

About Avalanche

Avalanche emerges as a rapid, scalable blockchain platform facilitating the seamless creation and deployment of dApps. Distinguished by its unique consensus mechanism, it's particularly good for DeFi applications, allowing high throughput and nearly instant finality. Its architecture allows for a network of interconnected blockchains, each safeguarded by dynamic subsets of validators, ensuring scalability while maintaining speed, reliability, and security.

About Flow

Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up for consumer apps and the digital assets that power them. The network runs on a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism with a unique "multi-role" architecture that solves the blockchain trilemma, balancing scalability, efficiency, and cost.

FLOW ($FLOW) is the native utility token that is used for:

  • Fees for processing transactions and storing data.
  • Buying, selling, and trading assets on Flow
  • Staking and delegating to secure the network

Flow tools include:

  • Cadence, a purpose-built smart contract programming language designed for consumer-grade applications
  • Full EVM equivalence, allowing anything from Ethereum to work on Flow
  • Protocol-level account abstraction and mobile support for onboarding new users
  • Cross-chain interoperability with the wider web3 ecosystem
  • Developer hub with comprehensive documentation and tools
