Build a DApp on Avalanche: A complete guide
Blog post from LogRocket
As Web3 adoption accelerates, the race to develop the fastest and most secure blockchain while maintaining decentralization is intensifying, with Ethereum being the most popular but costly option due to high transaction fees. Avalanche emerges as a solution to these issues with its open-source platform, introducing a unique ecosystem of three interoperable blockchains, each designed for specific tasks: the Exchange (X) Chain for asset transactions, the Platform (P) Chain for managing subnets and validators, and the Contract (C) Chain for smart contracts. The C-Chain, a copy of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), boasts higher speed, throughput, and lower fees due to its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) foundation and the Snowman Consensus Protocol. This tutorial guides developers through building and deploying a decentralized application (dApp) using Avalanche's C-Chain, culminating in a simple Next.js frontend that interacts with a deployed smart contract, and finishes with deployment on Vercel. The tutorial emphasizes the ease of building on Avalanche compared to Ethereum, while also highlighting the benefits of using tools like LogRocket for monitoring and debugging Web3 applications.
