Avalanche is a layer one protocol by Ava Labs that offers high-throughput, fast finality, and unprecedented decentralization. Developers are able to launch their own public or private blockchains (called subnets), create and trade digital assets, and build scalable smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Avalanche FAQ

What is the name of the asset being staked?

Black arrow

The AVAX token.

What are the asset(s) that I earn for staking?

Black arrow

AVAX tokens are rewarded for validating on the “default” subnet. Future subnets may reward validators and stakers in another asset.

Can my staked assets be slashed (seized or destroyed)?

Black arrow

There will be no slashing on the default subnet. That being said, future subnets are able to set their own slashing penalties.

Who or what controls my staked token?

Black arrow

You maintain custody of your AVAX at all times. There is no bonding or unbonding period.

What is the total supply of AVAX?

Black arrow

720 million.

What is the AVAX token used for ?

Black arrow

At the base level, the AVAX token will be used for –

  • rewarding validators for validating on the default subnet
  • paying for transaction fees on the default subnet
  • creating a new subnet or blockchain
  • sending an asset to the X-Chain
  • on-chain governance participation

Can validators choose to validate on any subnet?

Black arrow

All validators on Avalanche must validate on the “default subnet”.

This subnet consists of three chains:

  • Platform Chain – This chain stores the network metadata (i.e. what subnets and blockchains exist, who is validating what, etc.).
  • Exchange Chain – This chain supports asset creation and trading.
  • Contract Chain – This chain is an Ethereum Virtual Machine instance that runs on Avalanche’s Avalanche consensus.

Outside of this requirement, validators are free to choose which subnets they want to validate on, and they do not have to run multiple nodes to validate on multiple subnets, unless it is a requirement by the subnet.
