An Avalanche L1 is a blockchain for your application alone. It can require its validators to be in a given country, pass KYC/AML checks or hold a license.

more than 99.9%

less upfront cost to launch an L1 since the Etna upgrade in December 2024.

about 1.33 AVAX

a month in P-Chain fees per L1 validator.

2 cores

with 4 GB of RAM and 100 GB of storage run an L1 validator under 10 TPS.

Final in a second or less.No reorgs.

A transaction is final when consensus accepts its block. Apps and exchanges need no extra confirmations.

Any L1 can connect.No bridge operator.

With Interchain Messaging (ICM), the sending chain's validators sign each message. The receiving chain checks the signatures against the sender's validator set on the P-Chain.

Height: transactions in 30 days, on a log scale. Base height: no indexed count. Red: ICM messages in the same 30 days.

32.6K

ICM messages between these chains in the last 30 days.

67%

of the sender's stake must sign each message, by default.
