Check validator distribution and finality first, then separate base-layer behaviour from application, bridge, oracle, and contract risk.
Avalanche uses a programmable base-layer network where validators order transactions and applications execute shared state.
For AVAX, units enter circulation under the network's protocol schedule, while fees, staking, and possible burns affect the liquid supply.
Rule changes depend on the client teams, validators, token holders, foundations, and application ecosystem involved in that network.
The documented AVAX role includes paying network fees, staking where supported, and interacting with applications.
For Avalanche, material risks include validator concentration, client bugs, smart-contract failures, bridge risk, governance changes, and volatile demand for block space.
