Avalanche Concepts Skill

This skill gives you accurate, up-to-date knowledge about Avalanche's core architecture and primitives - including changes introduced by the Etna upgrade (ACP-77) that most LLM training data predates.

When to Use This Skill

• Developer asks about Avalanche architecture, consensus, or how it works
• Questions about Subnets vs Avalanche L1s (post-Etna nomenclature)
• Questions about validators, staking, or AVAX tokenomics
• Comparing Avalanche to Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, or other chains
• Questions about ACP-77 or the Etna upgrade
• General "how does Avalanche work" questions
