1. Project Overview
Avalanche is a layer 1 blockchain that offers "subnets," which are customizable blockchains. Subnets are independent networks within the Avalanche ecosystem that can have their own token economy, rules, and validators. Avalanche's main network consists of P-Chain, X-Chain, and C-Chain and uses the Snowman consensus algorithm.
