Avalanche is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality. It has gotten a lot of traction due to its high speed and low costs. The protocol is run and maintained by the Ava Labs team. Ava Labs has offices in New York City and Miami and aims to create a frictionless world by disrupting global finance the way we know it.
Many people buy AVAX for profit expectations and benefit from its long-term gains. If you have a "buy-and-hold" strategy, we recommend transferring your coins to a cold hardware wallet like Ledger Nano. Having said that, CoinSmart has taken several security measures to ensure user fund protection. These include – mandatory 2FA, withdrawal confirmation emails, cold storage & BitGo user funds insurance.
Buy and Sell AVAX with ease on CoinSmart. You can also use our SmartTrade to swap AVAX with other cryptocurrencies in one simple step.
Being a proof-of-stake-based system, you may participate in the network governance by delegating your AVAX in the ecosystem. Earn AVAX staking rewards on autopilot.
Two parties can easily send AVAX to each other irrespective of their geolocation, provided they have a compatible wallet.
Avalanche currently has one of the top 5 biggest DeFi ecosystems by total value locked (TVL). You can use the network to interact with the various DeFi apps without paying bloated gas fees.
Avalanche also supports non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It already hosts multiple high-quality projects.
