The price is a reference figure from our own rate feed, not a quote — every swap is re-priced across our liquidity partners at the moment you confirm, and the best receive amount wins. How that comparison works is on the methodology page.
About Avalanche
Avalanche splits its work across three chains: the X-Chain for asset transfers, the P-Chain for staking and validators, and the C-Chain, which runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Almost all user activity — and every AVAX swap here — happens on the C-Chain.
Its consensus reaches final, irreversible agreement in about a second, so AVAX deposits and payouts are among the fastest quoted.
The three chains use different address formats. A C-Chain payout needs a C-Chain (0x…) address; sending it to an X-Chain address will not arrive.
Sending and receiving AVAX
- Before you send. AVAX swaps here settle on the C-Chain, so the receiving address must be an Ethereum-style 0x address, not an X-Chain one.
- Set a refund address. It is the only route funds have back to you if a swap cannot complete — a deposit below the minimum, or one arriving after the quote window closed. See refund handling.
- Nothing is held for you. Deposits are forwarded, not stored, and the data kept is the amount and the two addresses — purged once the swap finalizes. The full picture is on the privacy page.
AVAX exchange pairs
Any pair is quotable, not just these — every supported coin can be swapped against every other, and the popular routes each have a page of their own.
AVAX — common questions
How do I swap AVAX without an account?
Pick the pair, enter an amount, and give a destination address and a refund address. There is no registration, no email and no identity check — you send the deposit from your own wallet and the funds are forwarded on. Nothing is held on your behalf at any point.
When is my AVAX sent out?
As soon as the deposit has the confirmations the network requires — the exchange runs automatically, with no manual approval step and no queue on our side. You can follow every stage on the tracking page a swap gets the moment it is created.
Is there a minimum AVAX amount?
Yes, and it moves with network conditions, so the widget shows the live figure for whichever pair you pick before you confirm. Minimums exist to keep on-chain costs a small fraction of the swap rather than swallowing it. There is no maximum.
