Avalanche (AVAX) vs Internet Computer (ICP)

Avalanche is an open-source, scalable, and programmable layer 1 blockchain, particularly dedicated to the creation of decentralized applications and blockchain solutions for businesses. The technological infrastructure allows developers to build their own "subnets," fully customizable sub-networks that benefit from Avalanche's security and have their own rules and validators. The "subnets" are independent of each other but can communicate through the Avalanche Warp Messaging (AWM) protocol.

Internet Computer is a layer 1 blockchain protocol providing decentralized infrastructure for building software, websites, databases, servers, and other IT services for businesses. As its name suggests, Internet Computer aims to be a "global computer" for enterprises. The architecture is based on "subnets," which are separate blockchain networks hosted on data centers around the world, that businesses can customize as needed.
