Avalanche

An independent L1 whose C-Chain runs Ethereum apps on the EVM. The official Avalanche Bridge moves assets to and from Ethereum.

Avalanche is an independent L1 opened by Ava Labs in September 2020. What this city shows is its C-Chain, which runs the EVM, so Ethereum apps work as-is. Its “Avalanche consensus” finalizes transactions within a second or two.

The official Avalanche Bridge moves assets to and from Ethereum, and the network can spin up many independent chains called subnets (Avalanche L1s). A December 2024 upgrade cut fees sharply. Gas is paid in AVAX.

How it looks in the city

It is a satellite town on an island out at sea. Because its own validators secure it rather than Ethereum, the city draws it as linked to the mainland only by a bridge. Building height is the market cap of this district’s main token.
