  AVAX is the native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche network, which is a decentralized platform for launching and running applications. It is similar to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it has its own unique features and capabilities. AVAX can be used for various purposes within the Avalanche ecosystem, such as paying for transaction fees, participating in governance decisions, and incentivizing validators. As for its relation to ERC20, AVAX is not an ERC20 token. ERC20 is a standard for creating tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, while AVAX operates on its own blockchain. However, there are bridges and interoperability solutions available that allow AVAX to be transferred between the Avalanche and Ethereum networks.
