# Why AVAX? AVAX uses the same programming language, Solidity, that is used by Ethereum ERC-20 tokens. AVAX has the benefit of an extremely low gas fee for network transactions compared to Ethereum. The AVAX network's gas fees are measured in cents, as opposed to hundreds of dollars on the Ethereum network. Avalanche is also easily accessible on major exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and other popular centralized cryptocurrency exchanges. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
