# Orange Protocol The Orange Blockchain is an innovative open-source sovereign network of nodes that leverages Avalanche's subnet architecture and delegated POS. Orange is a highly scalable, EVM-compatible blockchain, utilising delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPOS). Orange chain is a smart contract platform with exceptionally fast time-to-finality, low cost to transact and despite being orange, it leaves a green footprint. The Orange Network utilizes JUICE as its gas token and is a burnable token, meaning the foundation may vote or move to have periods where all or partial fees collected are burned, further reducing the supply. Stakeholders interested in becoming a validator will be able to join Orange’s Proof-of-Stake protocol to help secure the network and earn rewards.
