On the type of transaction and Avalanche's network congestion. All fees are burned—removed from circulation—to enable AVAX to become scarcer over time. Avalanche users vote to decide the Avalanche transaction fee, making AVAX fees subject to change.Consensus mechanism: Transactions on the Avalanche blockchain are confirmed using a unique method requiring many small, random subsets of network participants to confirm transactions before the transactions are finalized.Participation incentives: High uptime and fast response times can boost the amount of AVAX rewards a network participant can earn for processing AVAX transactions. Avalanche is generally governed by the proof-of-stake mechanism. AVAX holders are required to stake—agree not to trade or sell—AVAX in exchange for the right to validate AVAX transactions. AVAX holders with the most staked and actively participating as validators are the most likely to be chosen for Avalanche blocks. Additionally, holding AVAX tokens is also required to vote on Avalanche governance proposals. Advantages and Disadvantages of Avalanche Let's dig into what's to like and dislike about Avalanche: ProsFast transaction processing timesReward structure incentivizes participationCapable of supporting many blockchain-based projectsConsStiff competition from platforms like EthereumAvalanche validators must stake 2,000 AVAX tokensMalicious or careless validators are never penalized by losing their AVAX Avalanche vs. Ethereum Originally, Avalanche claimed a much faster transaction processing time than it has demonstrated in the past—4,500 transactions per second vs. Ethereum's limit of about 14. But the Avalanche network has yet to reach that speed. For the week of Sept. 8, 2024, to Sept. 14, 2024, the network averaged more than 8.12 million transactions, or about 13.43 transactions per second. On its fastest day that week, Avalanche reached about 405 tps—much more than the Ethereum network manages. The parallel nature of Avalanche's consensus protocol is what is claimed to enable the Avalanche network to theoretically validate transactions significantly faster than Ethereum. While Ethereum currently operates at a much larger scale, supporting many more projects and transactions, Avalanche's superior ability to scale may give it a long-term advantage over Ethereum—at least until Ethereum delivers on its speed and scaling promises. Avalanche and Ethereum have different fee structures, but fees on both platforms vary based on the network's congestion or busyness. However, the fee structure for the Avalanche platform is entirely controlled by user governance, whereas Ethereum's is governed by demand for services, validator supply, and traffic. Both networks burn processing fees, but Avalanche burns them all, while Ethereum burns only
