Avalanche

Avalanche C-ChainAVAX

A Layer-1 chain with sub-second finality and an EVM-compatible C-Chain.

Avalanche C-Chain hosts Aave v3, Benqi, and Trader Joe; subnets enable app-specific chains (e.g., RWA-focused Evergreen). Stablecoin yield surface is smaller than L2 rollups; bridge risk to mainnet is a relevant input.
