Avalanche (AVAX) Exchange Rate
The reason we live in the era of the digital revolution is the computer scientists who are constantly pushing tech boundaries to the limit. Platforms that work on DeFi ecosystems and smart contracts are a great example of it. Avalanche is one of them. Read on to find out all the details and rates.
What Is Avalanche (AVAX)?
Avalanche is a public programmable network for making decentralized applications (Dapps) and customized blockchain solutions. The network has its own token called AVAX coin.
The Avalanche mainnet arrived in September 2020. Its creator, Emin Gün Sirer, is known to be the first person who minted a coin through Proof-of-Work (PoW) in 2003. A team of developers and computer scientists from Cornell University led by Emin worked hard on bringing Avalanche to life.
The platform was developed with a groundbreaking consensus protocol that enabled the transfer of digital tokens in less than a second. The Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility allows using any Ethereum created app, tool, or smart contract on the Avalanche network.
Avalanche utilizes its Directed Acyclic Graph ‒ an optimized consensus protocol. It digitizes assets and focuses on building a future foundation for global finances.
Avalanche coin, AVAX, serves the purpose of fuel for its ecosystem. It safeguards the network, pays for operations, and provides the basic joint account between numerous subnetworks created by Avalanche network.

After that, on May 19th, the cryptocurrency market plummeted and now (June 15, 2021) AVAX coin price stands at $14.

Can You Mine Avalanche?
Avalanche does not use PoW, so graphics processing units (GPUs) cannot be employed here. Instead, AVAX runs on a PoS timestamping scheme to secure the network. In other words, you cannot mine AVAX, but you can lock its value ('stake' Avalanche coins) and earn rewards. You can obtain AVAX coins by trading other digital tokens for them on our exchange platform.
