ETH to AVAX Instant Exchange

Both Avalanche and Ethereum networks specialize in smart contracts and DApps. At a first glance, considering the similarities in their networks, it would seem that AVAX and ETH are quite akin. However, there are some key differences. [Ethereum](https://changenow.io/currencies/ethereum) is the second-largest cryptocurrency on the market and has remained as such for quite a while. The demand for ETH has not wavered throughout the years due to the fact that any protocol acting on top of its network is required to buy and spend ETH to process computations. Whilst Ethereum is working hard to improve its transaction time and fees by moving to a different consensus algorithm, it will not be able to offer it until late 2022. [Avalanche](https://changenow.io/currencies/avalanche) was created with the purpose to improve the issues the Ethereum network has faced, including scalability. The Avalanche is also attempting to tackle the blockchain trilemma and offers its users cost-effective and speedy transactions. To utilize the network, users have to purchase AVAX tokens to pay for fees, stake, and interact with smart contracts. The same rules are valid for the Ethereum blockchain. If you are looking to benefit from a more efficient network that specializes in smart contracts and DApps, exchanging your ETH to AVAX could be a good option. However, keep in mind that Ethereum is and always will be a classic.
