$AVAX ready to dominate?

Avalanche hits ATH in user activity, wallet addresses and total transactions

Welcome to the sixth Alpha newsletter. We curate alpha for you. That’s it; that’s the newsletter.

---

Let’s talk Avalanche. For those unfamiliar with it, here’s the TLDR explainer:

Avalanche is the fastest smart contracts platform in the blockchain industry, as measured by time-to-finality, and has the most validators securing its activity of any proof-of-stake protocol.

For a layer 1 that has only been live on mainnet for around 12 months the speed with which Avalanche is gaining adoption is staggering.

Here’s our compilation of the most recent alpha. No $AVAXers may want to read carefully.

Kevin Sekniqi is the COO of Ava Labs. You know when someone starts with “Alright real talk” it’s probably worth paying attention to.

./kevinsekniqi/metachain 🔺 @kevinsekniqi

Alright real talk. No single monolithic chain can handle DeFi + gaming + fan tokens + NFTs + all the other insane things that Web3 will bring if DAU goes in the big leagues. The only one that's future proof on this stuff is Avalanche. I say this earnestly. No shilling.

./kevinsekniqi/metachain 🔺 @kevinsekniqi

That's the dirty secret. Without a proper horizontally scalable L1 infra (such as Avalanche subnets), we're going to hit unreasonable fees instantly. I cannot emphasize enough how unprepared non-Avalanche ecosystems are *if* they ought to bring 100M+ DAU.

We all like sound money, so in case you weren’t aware $AVAX is deflationary with just over 341,000 burned so far.

Avalanche 🔺 @avalancheavax

Avalanche burns all transaction fees, making #AVAX a deflationary token with a fixed supply cap. All holders benefit when people use the platform. Track how much AVAX is burned here!

burnedavax.comBurned AVAX: Total AVAX Burned on AvalancheAVAX is the native token of Avalanche. It’s a hard-capped, scarce asset that is used to pay for fees. All fees on Avalanche are burned, benefiting everyone in the community.

Nicolas chucks some numbers into the mix, envisioning a scenario where just under 12 million $AVAX is burned a year.

Nicolas Lemaitre 🔺 @Ahnor_Block

gm & gb #Avalanche Let's talk about the #AVAX burning mecanism for a minute. Image we have 150 TPS on a regular basis, how much AVAX is burned in a year? 0.0025(fees/tx) *150(tps) *3600(sec in an hour) *24(h/day) *365(day/year)= 11,826,000 $AVAX burned /year Probably nothing

Based Emin dropping the alpha in plain sight.

This is a list where being lower indicates a better opportunity.

./kevinsekniqi/metachain 🔺 @kevinsekniqi

Avalanche going ballistic. Only 1.65 Mcap/TVL. https://t.co/YXL84DGgBM

Another neat summary from Seq 🔺

Seq 🔺 🪐 @CryptoSeq

There is nearly as much TVL on Avalanche as the entire market cap of $AVAX 👀 #AVAX has a fixed capped supply like #Bitcoin but all transaction fees are 🔥 increasing scarcity. AVAX has incredible utility compared to other projects. See this article 👉medium.com/avalanche-hub/…

A few charts from Protocol 432 that highlight the flywheel which leads to exponential growth and adoption.

Protocol 432 🐸 (🧊,🧊) 🔺 @protocol432

Fascinated by the growth of @avalancheavax 👀 Daily transactions count is leading the way with daily active addresses. C-Chain contract deployments are catching up as user demand drives the narrative for adoption. Flywheel: ⭕️ New Users -> Developers -> New dApps -> New Users

Avalanche are seeing many records broken in different metrics.

Avalanche 🔺 @avalancheavax

New ATHs in user activity, total transactions, wallet addresses, and assets transferred over the bridge. Avautumn is the season of growth 🔺 Learn more about the exciting activity happening on #Avalanche ecosystem.avax.network

Moving fast and blowing past 350k like it's nothing. People care about apps built on high-performance, green blockchains. Learn more about Avalanche! https://t.co/CP6ZoxfI3Y https://t.co/9YOetE7uml https://t.co/CuyMpLmexg

Soon?

#avalanche ath in users, ath in transactions When ath in price? $AVAX

Another very recent development which is bound to increase the speed of adoption of the whole Avalanche ecosystem:

What’s the TA saying? $AVAX is sitting just below all time highs and looking ready for a move up.

Rager 📈 @Rager

$AVAX Ranging between these levels for a while Breaking and close back above $70+ on the daily chart likely leads to retest of previous highs

Cycle target from satsdart.

satsdart 🔺 @satsdart

at a minimum i think avax will go to $200 this cycle, depending on how high other stuff goes could of course be way higher above 70 it gets sent

Here’s another elevator pitch from game developer Jon on why using Avalanche is a no brainer.

👾Jon Radoff 🎮 @jradoff

@avalancheavax DeFi experience on Avalanche is truly game-changing. Nearly instant finality and low costs. Pangolin is perfect, and the Aave lending pools are great with their low costs on Avax. Why would anyone do anything else?

Some of you might be reading this and be thinking “damn, I need to learn another layer 1”. Fear not, getting started with Avalanche is not a daunting task:

Ad_Infinitum 🔺 @CryptoMessiah

Nothing to learn. It's evm. If you know ethereum you know avalanche. Think of it like this...it's exactly the same as $eth, but $Avax is the gas. Also fast and cheap. https://t.co/M8k0ydI0sz

BurrΞtt @Burr_Ett

@CryptoMessiah Shit I have to learn Avax, I feel fomo

A final warning:

𝔻𝕒𝕟 🔺 (🚜,🚜) @DastardlyDaniel

it's over for no-avaxxers

And that’s your alpha.
