What Is Avalanche (AVAX)?

Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain developed by Ava Labs and founded by Emin Gün Sirer, with mainnet launched in September 2020. Its architecture is built around three chains: X-Chain for asset creation and transfer, P-Chain for network governance and validator management, and C-Chain for smart contracts. C-Chain is fully EVM-compatible and is the chain used for AVAX payment gateway integrations.

Avalanche runs on its own consensus mechanism, built on repeated sub-sampled voting, which brings transactions to finality in about a second rather than waiting for a fixed number of block confirmations.

AVAX is the native token of the network. It pays transaction fees, is staked by validators, and is used to launch custom networks, known as Subnets at launch and renamed Avalanche L1s after the Avalanche9000 upgrade.

Avalanche (AVAX) Payment Gateway — Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Avalanche (AVAX) payment gateway?

An AVAX payment gateway is a service that enables businesses to accept AVAX on their website through the Avalanche C-Chain network. PassimPay generates a unique payment address for each transaction, monitors incoming payments, and sends a confirmation once a payment settles. Because C-Chain is fully EVM-compatible, the integration closely mirrors Ethereum, but with low network fees.

How fast are Avalanche transactions?

Avalanche brings transactions to finality in about a second. Unlike networks that require a set number of block confirmations before a payment is considered settled, Avalanche consensus reaches a final decision in a single round, so there is no run of confirmations to wait through.

What is the difference between Avalanche and Ethereum?

Both Avalanche C-Chain and Ethereum are EVM-compatible and support smart contracts, so the same wallets and the same contract code work on either. Avalanche reaches finality faster and operates with low network fees, while Ethereum has a larger ecosystem. For businesses that want quick settlement and predictable costs, C-Chain is a direct alternative.

What are Avalanche Subnets?

Subnets are custom blockchain networks that any organization can deploy on Avalanche with its own rules, while staying interoperable with the main network. They were renamed Avalanche L1s with the Avalanche9000 upgrade, and both names are still in use. For payment processing, PassimPay uses the main C-Chain.

Can I convert AVAX payments automatically?

PassimPay supports automatic conversion of incoming AVAX at the point of receipt. Payments can be converted into stablecoins such as USDT or USDC, which protects revenue from market volatility. The conversion fee is a flat 0.2%.

What other cryptocurrencies does PassimPay support?

PassimPay supports more than 74 cryptocurrencies, including ETH, XRP, SOL, USDT and USDC. You can view the current list on the supported coins page.
