What makes Avalanche's consensus mechanism unique?

Avalanche’s consensus mechanism, Avalanche Consensus, sets it apart from traditional proof-of-work and proof-of-stake models. Instead of relying on a single leader to validate transactions, it uses a repeated random sampling process to achieve consensus across multiple small groups of validators. This method ensures faster transaction finality and reduces the risk of centralization. It also enhances the network's scalability without sacrificing security. The efficiency of this consensus model has contributed to the growing adoption of AVAX in decentralized ecosystems. The AVAX price reflects the increasing confidence in this technology.
