About

Core is a wallet and asset-management application for Avalanche (/avax), built by Ava Labs (/tags/ava-labs).

What is Core

Core lets users hold, swap, send, and receive crypto and NFTs, and connect to decentralized applications running on Avalanche's C-Chain and on independent Layer 1s. It is distributed as a browser extension and as mobile apps for Android and iOS.

Key Features

Beyond basic custody and swaps, Core supports native AVAX staking, portfolio tracking across holdings and NFTs, and connections into third-party DeFi protocols for lending and yield. It includes built-in security monitoring that flags suspicious transactions and sends real-time alerts for account activity.

Ecosystem & Backing

As Ava Labs' wallet product, Core is positioned as the default entry point for interacting with Avalanche — staking validators, bridging assets, and using applications across the network's Layer 1s from a single interface.
