Bank of America analysts led by Alkesh Shah said in a recent research note that Avalanche’s ability to scale while remaining secure and decentralized means it is a viable alternative to Ethereum. The analysts said Avalanche’s subnet feature is leading to higher adoption of the blockchain.
“Subnets enable faster time-to finality (settlement) and lower costs than alternative blockchains,” the analysts wrote. Avalanche is an open-source network for launching decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and enterprise blockchain deployments in an interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Avalanche’s native token AVAX is up by more than 14% over the past 24 hours as the market slowly recovers from the recent slump.
