Staking Service Launch: Kraken has officially introduced Avalanche ($AVAX) staking on its platform, enabling eligible clients to earn rewards on their AVAX holdings without any technical setup or maintenance, thereby enhancing user experience and lowering participation barriers.
Diverse Earning Options: The service offers three earning options, with bonded staking providing rewards up to 10% annual percentage yield (APY) during a promotional period, dropping to 7% APY thereafter, while Auto Earn and Flexible Staking each offer up to 3.5% APY, increasing clients' asset growth potential.
Global Availability: AVAX Earn is launched globally, including the US (excluding New York and Maine), UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and additional markets, which broadens Kraken's user base and strengthens its competitive position in the market.
Infrastructure Management: Kraken manages all underlying infrastructure, including validator operations and reward distribution, reducing the technical complexity for users engaging in staking, thus further promoting broader adoption of the Avalanche network.

About AVAX

Avalanche is a layer one blockchain that functions as a platform for decentralized applications and custom blockchain networks. It is one of Ethereum’s rivals, aiming to unseat Ethereum as the most popular blockchain for smart contracts. It aims to do so by having a higher transaction output of up to 6,500 transactions per second while not compromising scalability.This is made possible by Avalanche’s unique architecture. The Avalanche network consists of three individual blockchains: the X-Chain, C-Chain and P-Chain. Each chain has a distinct purpose, which is radically different from the approach Bitcoin and Ethereum use, namely having all nodes validate all transactions. Avalanche blockchains even use different consensus mechanisms based on their use cases.After its mainnet launch in 2020, Avalanche has worked on developing its own ecosystem of DApps and DeFi. Different Ethereum-based projects such as SushiSwap and TrueUSD have integrated with Avalanche. Furthermore, the platform is constantly working on improving interoperability between its own ecosystem and Ethereum, like through the development of bridges.
