Avalanche

PreviousSnowglobeNextSerialization of Proof-of-work Events (Spectre)

Last updated 6 years ago

The core idea of Avalanche is metastability.

Pros

  • Quick finality and low latency

  • Higher throughput: 1000–10,000 transactions per second.

  • Robust: The network does not need to agree on who the participants are to achieve undeniable consensus.

  • No miners

Cons
