Avalanche
What is Avalanche and How Does it Work?
Avalanche is a developer platform that can create custom blockchain networks for advanced instructions, or be integrated with open-source preexisting blockchains, such as Bitcoin’s.
The Avalanche payment consensus offers great scalability that could feasibly become an integral part of the financial system. Relying on millions of users around the world to validate thousands of transactions per second, the platform aims to create an interoperable payment platform for facilitating cross-border payments and a place for decentralised platforms to live and interact with each other.
Avalanche has two consensus engines on launch: Avalanche, A DAG-optimised consensus protocol with high-throughput that is easy to prune and simplify for a developer’s purposes.
Snowman, is a chain-optimised consensus protocol with high-throughput and is great for hosting smart contracts.
The platform also has a number of resources for helping developers, such as AvalancheGo, used for interacting with virtual machines. Additionally, AvalancheJS contains a large Javascript library toolkit to assist API interaction efforts for developers.
