What is Avalanche?

Avalanche (AVAX) is a cryptocurrency and it is also a blockchain platform.

Avalanche is designed for developers to create other blockchains and decentralised applications (dApps). Launched in 2020, Avalanche has a goal of being really efficient while also being affordable.

Cool stuff on Avalanche

Here are some real-world examples of some interesting projects being built on Avalanche.

Lemonade Insurance

Small farmers in Kenya can struggle to get crop insurance. Thanks to Avalanche, an app called Lemonade automates policies using smart contracts and weather-tracking oracles. (Oracles connect real-world data with a blockchain.)

Farmers sign up via their smartphones, paying just a few dollars. When adverse weather hits, thousands of Kenyan farmers receive automatic payouts, providing crucial financial support.

Some insurance companies are reducing coverage to farmers due to climate change effects, leaving some communities without protection. Lemonade Insurance aims to fill that gap, and because it is an automated process, it saves time and money.

Dreamus Ticketing

OK Cashbag is an app that runs on Avalanche. Owned by an entertainment company called Dreamus, it revolutionises ticketing in South Korea.

Using the blockchain, OK Cashbag ensures that only genuine tickets are sold, it reduces scalping, and prevents counterfeiting.

So next time you front up to a K-Pop concert in Korea, it could be Avalanche behind the scenes, making ticket transactions more protected.

Gunzilla

Gunzilla is an independent AAA game studio. AAA games are the blockbuster movies of the gaming world. These are high-quality video games created by big, well-established development studios and published by major companies.

When you play Gunzilla’s game, Off The Grid, which has been built on Avalanche, everything happens seamlessly, there are no annoying delays or waiting times. Also it has very competitive fees to play.

Players can save their in-game items they have earned (like virtual weapons and virtual skins) as NFTs, or sell them on to other players. They can even rent them out! Thanks to the blockchain, players know exactly what they own.

Should Investors buy Avalanche? Conclusion

Avalanche’s speed, scalability, and community-driven approach make AVAX a rather compelling choice for crypto enthusiasts. Buying AVAX is worth getting on your radar.

Specific risks associated with DeFi tokens Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology. DeFi tokens carry the following risks:Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens. Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralised manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols. Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

Specific risks associated with meme coins: 'Meme coins' (e.g. DOGE, SHIB, PEPE) are crypto-assets whose value is driven primarily by community interest and online trends. Meme coins carry the following risks: • Volatility risk: Meme coins can have extreme price volatility, often experiencing rapid and unpredictable price fluctuations within short periods. The value of meme coins can be influenced by social media trends, celebrity endorsements, and other factors unrelated to traditional investment fundamentals. • Lack of utility: Meme coins often lack intrinsic value or utility, being primarily driven by community interest, online trends, and speculative trading. • Market manipulation: Meme coins may be susceptible to increased risk of market manipulation including 'pump-and-dump' schemes, where the price is artificially inflated followed by a sudden crash. • Lack of transparency: Meme coins may have limited available information about their development teams, goals, and financials. This lack of transparency can make it challenging to assess the credibility and potential of a meme coin accurately. • Emotional investing: Meme coins often garner strong emotional reactions from investors, leading to impulsive decisions. Emotional trading activity can amplify losses.

Specific risks associated with stablecoins: There is a risk that any particular stablecoin may not hold their value as against any fiat currency; or may not hold their value as against any other asset. Stablecoins carry the following risks: · Depegging events: Depegging events may occur with stablecoins that fail to maintain adequate controls and risk mitigants. A depegging event is when the value of the stablecoin no longer matches the value of the underlying asset. This could result in a loss of some or all of your investment. • Counterparty risk: Counterparty risk arises when an asset is backed by collateral, involving a third party maintaining the collateral, which introduces risk if the party becomes insolvent or fails to maintain it. • Redemption risk: Redemption risk refers to the possibility that an asset's ability to be redeemed for underlying collateral may not be as anticipated during market fluctuations or operational issues. • Collateral risk: Collateral risk refers to the possibility of the collateral's value declining or becoming volatile, potentially impacting the asset's stability, particularly when it is another crypto-asset. • Exchange rate fluctuations: Stablecoins, often denominated in US Dollars, expose investors to fluctuations in the USD:GBP exchange rate. • Algorithmic risk: Algorithm risk refers to the possibility of an asset's stability being compromised due to unexpected failure or behaviour of the underlying algorithm, potentially leading to loss of value.
