Network Information

Avalanche provides both production and test networks for building and deploying decentralized applications. The Primary Network consists of three blockchains: C-Chain (Contract Chain), P-Chain (Platform Chain), and X-Chain (Exchange Chain).

C-Chain (Contract Chain)

The C-Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain for deploying smart contracts and dApps.
