The Primary Network validates Avalanche's built-in blockchains: Platform Chain, Exchange Chain, and Contracts Chain. All members of all L1s must also be a member of the Primary Network. In order to become a member of the Primary Network, one must stake some AVAX tokens.

For additional information bout L1s please read the following article.


For any additional questions, please view our other knowledge base articles or contact a support team member via the chat button. Examples are for illustrative purposes only.
