Blockchain Made Easy

FAQs

• What is Avalanche?

  
  Avalanche is a blockchain created by Ava Labs, solving the [Trilemma](https://medium.com/certik/the-blockchain-trilemma-decentralized-scalable-and-secure-e9d8c41a87b3). It is:

  1. Secure
  2. Decentralized
  3. Fast

  Alongside a breakthrough consensus protocol, Avalanche has infinite horizontal scaling with Subnets.
• What is a Subnet?

  
  A Subnet is a sovereign network which defines its own rules regarding its membership and token economics. It is composed of a dynamic subset of Avalanche validators working together to achieve consensus on the state of one or more blockchains.
• What is liquid staking?

  
  In Proof of Stake networks, users can lock up tokens to help secure the network while earning rewards. While locked up, funds are inaccessible.
  
  With liquid staking, users deposit AVAX into GoGoPool and receives a liquid staking token. This liquid staking token represents the deposited AVAX as well as any staking rewards it has accrued over time.
  
  Users can now earn more yield by deposit their liquid staking token into DeFi apps, while being able to exit their positions easily and safely.
• How does GoGoPool work? 

  
  GoGoPool has two users; node operators and liquid stakers.
  
  By using our GGP token node operators can launch new validator nodes with only 1000 AVAX by being matched with liquid staking funds, and earn AVAX and GGP rewards. By restaking GGP rewards node operators request delegation from the liquid staking pool, increasing their overall yield.
  
  Liquid stakers deposit AVAX and receive ggAVAX. ggAVAX represents the deposited AVAX and any rewards accrued, and can be used across DeFi apps to generate even more yield.
