Avalanche vs Tezos

Avalanche implements Snowman consensus on its C‑Chain (EVM) and runs a multi‑chain architecture with X‑Chain (UTXO) and P‑Chain (staking). Custom subnets allow projects like DeFi Kingdoms and Intain RWA to spin up their own validator sets with whitelisted tokens. The 2025 Banff hard fork added elastic subnets with dynamic validator staking for improved security sharing.

Tezos is a self‑amending Proof‑of‑Stake Layer‑1 that supports on‑chain governance, letting token holders adopt protocol upgrades without hard forks. Its latest ‘Mumbai’ upgrade activated Smart Rollups, allowing scalable L2s written in Rust and Wasm to inherit Tezos security. Tezos processes ~1 million contract calls daily and is popular for compliant tokenisation of securities in Europe.
