What Is Avalanche (AVAX)?

Besides what’s stated above, AVAX has secured more than 400 individual projects for distributed applications (DApps), more than 1,200 individual validators, and has a cryptocurrency community in excess of 1.3 million worldwide.

Through deploying on Avalanche, smart contract developers can count on their projects outperforming those not enabled with this method. No other platform in the blockchain industry can fulfill this promise of time-to-finality.

Avalanche is the platform, and AVAX is the hard-capped token used for transaction fees, staking, and is a basic unit for accounting for multiple subnets developed on the Avalanche platform.

After burning nearly 65 million tokens to reduce supplies, AVAX has about 250 million in circulation. These “burnings” help to create scarcity. According to the laws of supply and demand,” scarcity should increase the token price, but that is not always what happens.

“The term ‘Burning’ crypto means permanently removing a number of tokens from circulation. This is typically done by transferring the tokens in question to a burn address, i.e., a wallet from which they cannot ever be retrieved. This is often described as destroying tokens. A project burns its tokens to reduce the overall supply.”Coin Desk.

Possible outlook for AVAX near-term

Although chart reading and predictions are unproven methods, dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) is a proven method of taking advantage of market volatility to buy stocks, cryptocurrency, and other commodities.

Final thoughts & investment recommendations for AVAX

The AVAX token is about $50 off its ATH, so the possibility for recovery when BTC, ETH, and the rest of the cryptocurrency recover is probable. However, nothing is certain.

If a future cryptocurrency project is faster and more reliable, it could deflate the AVAX token’s price. However, this is currently one of the fastest and most eco-friendly, which should attract developers.

Plus, AVAX tokens can be staked for up to 9.70% APY, depending on the number of tokens and the lockup period. If you are an AVAX hodler and don’t plan to sell anytime soon, you should check out the possibility of staking them.

“The forecasted Avalanche price at the end of 2022 is $250, and the year-to-year change will be around +175%. At the end of 2022, the price of Avalanche will be around $153.24. A Maximum price of $178.82, the minimum price of $147.91 for 2022. The Avalanche price forecast at the end of December 2023 is $261.53.”Crypto News SZ.
