Setting up Metamask for Avalanche
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem.
It features 3 built-in blockchains, the exchange chain (X-chain), platform chain (P-chain) and contract chain (C-chain).
Avalanche blockchains
The X-Chain acts as a decentralized platform for creating and trading digital smart assets, a representation of a real-world resource
The P-Chain is the metadata blockchain on Avalanche and coordinates validators, keeps track of active subnets, and enables the creation of new subnets.
The C-Chain is an instance of the Ethereum Virtual Machine powered by Avalanche.
In order to interact with Avalanche, you need AVAX tokens, similar to ETH and BNB.
In this guide, we will walk through how to set up Metamask for Avalanche.
