Avalanche is a proof-of-stake blockchain built for smart contracts, tokenized assets and custom networks. It uses a consensus design called Snowman, in which validators repeatedly sample one another to agree on blocks, which is meant to give quick finality. The network has three built-in chains: the X-Chain for asset transfers, the P-Chain for staking and coordination, and the C-Chain, which is EVM-compatible and hosts most dApps. For scaling, projects can launch their own Avalanche L1s, previously called subnets, instead of sharing one chain's capacity.
The native token is AVAX. It pays transaction fees, is staked by validators to secure the network, and is used in coordinating L1s. Fees are paid in AVAX and depend on network demand, so they can change from day to day. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Avalanche is about $571.7 million, a figure that moves with prices and deposits.
The Avalanche ecosystem is known for lending, stablecoin movement and cross-chain infrastructure. Aave V3 and Aave V4 offer non-custodial lending and borrowing, while USDT0 and Chainlink CCIP handle cross-chain token transfers. Grove Finance deploys capital into tokenized real-world assets and other DeFi protocols, and Robinhood and Tornado Cash also list Avalanche among their supported chains. Our site covers 398 dApps on Avalanche, and many of the larger ones run on several networks, so their listed TVL reflects all chains combined.

Frequently asked questions
What is Avalanche?
Avalanche is a proof-of-stake blockchain for smart contracts, digital assets and custom blockchain networks. Its Snowman consensus aims at quick finality, and the network is split into several built-in chains with different jobs.
Is Avalanche EVM compatible?
Yes. The C-Chain runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, so Solidity contracts and common Ethereum wallets and tools generally work there. The X-Chain and P-Chain serve other purposes, such as asset transfers and network coordination.
What is AVAX used for?
AVAX pays transaction fees, is staked by validators to secure the network, and is used in coordinating Avalanche L1s. Fees on the C-Chain are paid in AVAX and vary with network demand, so check the wallet's fee estimate before confirming.
What are Avalanche L1s (subnets)?
Avalanche L1s, formerly called subnets, are independent blockchains with their own rules and validator sets that sit within the Avalanche network. Projects use them when they want a dedicated chain, for example for custom fees, access controls or high-volume apps.
Which dApps on Avalanche are the biggest?
Among the entries on this page, Aave V3 and Aave V4 for lending, USDT0 and Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain transfers, and Grove Finance for capital allocation all list Avalanche as a supported chain. Robinhood and Tornado Cash also list it. Many of these run on several chains, so their TVL figures cover all networks, not just Avalanche.
How much is locked in Avalanche DeFi?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on Avalanche is about $571.7 million. That number changes daily with token prices and deposits, so treat it as a snapshot.
Is it safe to use Avalanche dApps?
No chain or dApp is risk-free. Smart contract bugs, bridge failures, price swings and phishing all affect users on any network. Use a reputable wallet, check contract addresses and keep amounts you can afford to lose.
