About Avalanche platform
What is Avalanche?
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, financial products, transactions, and other services.
Avalanche aims to become a global exchange, allowing anyone to launch a DApp, trade any asset, and control it in a decentralized way by using smart contracts and other advanced technologies.
Avalanche launched its blockchain in September 2020. The developers claim that Avalanche will be the first smart contract to complete a transaction in less than a second.
