# Avalanche Builder Hub

> Build your fast and interoperable Layer 1 blockchain with Avalanche. The Builder Hub provides comprehensive documentation, interactive tutorials, and developer tools.

Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain platform for decentralized applications, new financial primitives, and interoperable blockchains. The Builder Hub helps developers create custom Layer 1 blockchains (Avalanche L1s), build cross-chain applications using Interchain Messaging (ICM), and leverage the Avalanche ecosystem.
