Avalanche is a global financial network for the issuing and trading of all digital goods. We enable potentially millions of validators to process thousands of transactions per second with near instant finality using a protocol which is completely green and quiescent. We've paired this high throughput and fast finality protocol w/ an architecture that can meet the needs of unique financial services and decentralized apps.
We accomplish this through the notion of Subnets. Subnets allow anyone anywhere to spin up a taylor-made network w/ custom virtual machines and complex validator rulesets.
Avalanche is a network of networks. It's a platform of platforms where we invision thousands and thousands of public and private Subnets all emerging into this global marketplace which we call The Internet of Finance.
