A faster, EVM-compatible network for high-throughput applications
Avalanche is a smart contract platform built for high transaction throughput and fast finality, while remaining EVM-compatible meaning Ethereum-targeted tools and contracts largely work on it with minimal changes, while benefiting from lower fees and faster confirmation times.
For applications where transaction speed and cost genuinely affect the product experience frequent on-chain interactions, real-time trading Avalanche's throughput characteristics make it a practical alternative to networks where gas costs or confirmation times would otherwise shape the product design.
We build on Avalanche and other EVM-compatible networks when a project's throughput or cost requirements make it the better fit than Ethereum mainnet, carrying over the same smart contract security practices regardless of which EVM-compatible chain a product deploys to.
