Avalanche (AVAX) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that rivals Ethereum. AVAX is the native token of the Avalanche blockchain, which—like Ethereum—uses smart contracts to support a variety of blockchain projects.

The Avalanche blockchain can provide near-instant transaction finality. AVAX is used to pay transaction processing fees, secure the Avalanche network, and act as a basic unit of account among blockchains in the Avalanche network.

The Avalanche blockchain reportedly can process 4,500 transactions per second. 1 Avalanche. "Overview."

Launched in 2020, Avalanche aims to be fast, versatile, secure, affordable, and accessible. 2 In addition, Avalanche is an open-source project, meaning anyone can view and contribute to the platform's code.

USDC.e on Avalanche is a token representing USDC on Avalanche that was bridged from the Ethereum blockchain via the Avalanche Bridge.

For example, when sending USDC over the bridge to the Avalanche Network, it will appear as USDC.e once the transaction is completed.

If you don't immediately see the USDC.e after a successful transaction, you may need to add the token to the wallet you are using so it shows your balance of USDC.e.

Note that sending USDC.e back is the same process but in reverse, resulting in USDC.e turning into USDC.

You can swap USDC.e for Avalanche native USDC using DEXs on Avalanche.

Layer 2 refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system. The main goal of these protocols is to solve the transaction speed and scaling difficulties that are being faced by the major cryptocurrency networks. L2s:

have been used to get the needed informations for the Dashboard.

For minting and burning part the address which Minted from and Burned to is:
