Swap AVAX from Avalanche C-Chain to BNB on BNB Chain

Swap AVAX from Avalanche C-Chain to BNB on BNB Chain. Native AVAX leaves the C-Chain, and native BNB arrives on chain 56.

Both sides use 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. On Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114, that is AVAX, shown on Snowtrace as the account balance. On BNB Chain, chain 56, that is BNB, shown on BscScan as the account balance. Blocks there are about 3 seconds. This is not the X-Chain. It is not pegged ETH at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. Leave some AVAX for the fee. You are swapping one gas coin for another, not moving a single coin unchanged.

Diagram for Swap AVAX from Avalanche C-Chain to BNB on BNB Chain — AVAX leaves Avalanche C-Chain. BNB is what can arrive on BNB Chain.

Chain id is the whole distinction

43114 sells AVAX. 56 buys BNB. The placeholder string is not a contract on either explorer. If the wallet header still says Avalanche, you are looking at the coin you sold. Switch to BNB Chain before you call the credit missing. The X-Chain is a third system and will not show this EVM balance.

Do not spend the last AVAX

There is no approval. There is a fee. A max send can fail before a bridge message exists. You do not receive AVAX on BNB Chain. You receive BNB that can pay later fees, in the amount the quote states, not as a long reserve. Read the minimum.

Pegged ETH is the lookalike

Orders that say ETH on BNB Chain often mean 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8, which cannot pay gas. Orders that say ETH on Ethereum mean chain 1. Orders that say USDT or USDC mean a dollar. Trade on BNB Chain is the right note only when BNB itself is the target. Three second blocks are not a bridge promise.

Two account lines

Snowtrace: AVAX down. BscScan: BNB up. No token-transfer row is required. If you see a pegged ETH transfer, you used another route. No duration is stated. Reject a quote you would not keep.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap AVAX from Avalanche C-Chain to BNB on BNB Chain?

Both sides use 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. On Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114, that is AVAX, shown on Snowtrace as the account balance.

Why do AVAX and BNB share an address in the quote?

They do not share a contract. 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means the native gas coin of the selected chain. On the C-Chain that is AVAX. On BNB Chain that is BNB. Snowtrace and BscScan show two account balances. Chain 43114 is not chain 56, and the X-Chain is neither.

Does the BNB I receive pay fees?

Yes. BNB is the gas coin on chain 56, and blocks are about 3 seconds. The amount is whatever the quote delivers. You still needed leftover AVAX on the C-Chain to pay for the send. That remainder stays on Avalanche. It does not migrate with the trade.

I wanted pegged ETH, not BNB. Is this the page?

No. Pegged ETH is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 on BscScan. It cannot pay gas. This page delivers native BNB. If a dapp asked for the pegged contract, switch routes before you sign. The source remains AVAX on the C-Chain, not the X-Chain. Switch routes if the dapp named the pegged ETH contract.
