Founded by Professor Emin Gün Sirer and researchers from Cornell University, AVA Labs is building a smart contract computing platform leveraging the revolutionary consensus algorithm, Avalanche consensus. Avalanche consensus offers unparalleled scalability (6000+ Transactions Per Second), decentralization (1000+ nodes), security, sustainability, and flexibility. While many existing blockchains tend to be rigid and over-specialized, the AVA Platform, will allow developers and users to mix and match different features cater to end users' needs. At the core, we are building a next-generation blockchain platform.
