How the Avalanche ranking is built
This page does not reuse the global overall model. The asset context reweights toward liquidity, fees and fiat rails, then blends in a AVAX-fit score built from withdrawal cost, network coverage, spread and asset-specific features. That is why the order here can differ from the main ranking: a venue with great custody but expensive AVAX withdrawals loses ground, and a venue with tight books and cheap networks gains it.
AVAX economics by exchange
Spread estimates, cheapest withdrawal network and minimums for AVAX (reference price $44.1). Withdrawal fees assume the cheapest supported network on each venue.
