Overview
Avalanche is a Layer 1 blockchain that uses AVAX as its gas token. The network supports 47 DeFi protocols across 487 active pools, with a combined total value locked of approximately $1.31 billion USD. This positions Avalanche as a meaningful player in the DeFi ecosystem, though exact EVM compatibility details are unavailable. The distribution of TVL across specific protocol categories on Avalanche is data unavailable, limiting deeper analysis of which segments—such as lending, decentralized exchanges, or yield farming—drive the network's DeFi activity. The protocol-to-pool ratio suggests moderate diversification across the ecosystem, with an average of roughly ten pools per protocol.
