AvalancheGo is the official Go implementation of an Avalanche full node, the core software for participating in the Avalanche blockchain network. It lets operators run, validate, and interact with the Avalanche Primary Network and custom Layer 1 blockchains (subnets).
Use cases
- run an avalanche full node
- become an avalanche validator
- stake avax from my own node
- connect to avalanche mainnet or fuji testnet
- host a custom avalanche L1 subnet
- query avalanche c-chain rpc endpoint
- self-host blockchain infrastructure for avalanche
When to choose
- you need to run or validate on the Avalanche network with the reference implementation
- you want to operate a validator or staking node
- you need direct RPC access to Avalanche chains without third-party providers
- you want to launch or support custom Avalanche L1s/subnets
When to avoid
- you only want to send transactions or use a wallet - a light client or RPC provider suffices
- you are building on Ethereum or another chain - this only serves Avalanche
- you lack the recommended hardware (8 vCPU, 16 GiB RAM, 1 TiB storage)
- you need a managed blockchain service rather than self-hosted infrastructure
