Interoperability.Performance.Privacy.Compliance.
A high-performance EVM, configured for regulated finance.
01·INTEROPERABILITY
Every chain speaks natively.
Native messaging between Avalanche chains, public or private, verified against validator sets on the P-Chain.
- MESSAGING
- PROTOCOL-NATIVE
- ATTESTATION
- SOURCE VALIDATOR SET
- VERIFICATION
- P-CHAIN REGISTRY
02·PERFORMANCE
Finality in milliseconds.
Sub-second finality on the shared C-Chain, and under 100 milliseconds on an L1 all your own.
- C-CHAIN FINALITY
- <1S
- DEDICATED L1 FINALITY
- <100MS
- CHAIN REORGS
- NONE, BY DESIGN
03·PRIVACY
Visible to participants. Invisible to everyone else.
Whatever your privacy requirement, the architecture meets it: close the network, place the data, extend the VM with the cryptography you choose.
- NETWORK ACCESS
- VALIDATOR-ONLY
- DATA RESIDENCY
- OPERATOR-CONTROLLED
- OUTSIDE VISIBILITY
- NONE
04·COMPLIANCE
Policy enforced by the protocol.
Decide who can validate, deploy, and transact on your L1. The rules are built into the chain's virtual machine, not written in policy documents.
- CONTRACT DEPLOYMENT
- APPROVED DEPLOYERS ONLY
- TRANSACTION ACCESS
- APPROVED WALLETS ONLY
- VALIDATOR SET
- PERMISSIONED OPTION
Start on the C-Chain.Graduate to your own L1.
The shared C-Chain gives an application immediate reach. A dedicated L1 keeps native messaging and irreversible finality, and makes the rest configurable: blockspace, gas token, who validates, who can see the chain, and who can use it.
