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

Swap AVAX from Avalanche C-Chain to USDC on BNB Chain. Native AVAX leaves the C-Chain, and pegged USDC arrives on BNB Chain.

You sell the gas coin on chain 43114, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Snowtrace shows the account. Leave a remainder for the fee. There is no approval on native AVAX. The C-Chain is not the X-Chain. You receive 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d, 18 decimal pegged USDC, on BscScan, chain 56. It is not Circle's 6 decimal USDC. Blocks are about 3 seconds. BNB is required to move it. Circle on Avalanche, 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E, is not the output.

AVAX leaves Avalanche C-Chain. USDC is what can arrive on BNB Chain.

Eighteen decimal peg, not Circle

Accounting that assumes 6 decimals will misread this balance. BscScan shows the width. A whitelist built for Circle on Ethereum or on the C-Chain will not match 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d. You also sold AVAX, so this is not a dollar-to-dollar hop. You changed exposure from the C-Chain gas coin into a pegged dollar.

Do not drain AVAX

The fee and the sold asset are the same coin. Keep a remainder. The X-Chain balance is invisible here. You will not receive AVAX on BNB Chain. You will not receive BNB unless you pick that output instead. This output is only the pegged USDC.

BNB is the next problem

The USDC cannot pay chain 56 fees. How to bridge assets between chains does not deliver BNB alongside it. Three second blocks are not a bridge timer. Snowtrace shows AVAX down. BscScan shows the pegged token up. Decline a weak minimum. Eighteen decimals on this peg will surprise a script written for Circle's 6 decimal USDC, so read BscScan before you book the credit.

Wrong ticker matches

Wrong if you need Tether at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. Wrong if you need pegged ETH. Wrong if you need native BNB for gas and thought USDC would cover it. Wrong if you meant to keep AVAX.

Frequently asked questions

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

You sell the gas coin on chain 43114, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Snowtrace shows the account.

Is this Circle's USDC?

No. Circle on the C-Chain is 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E and uses 6 decimals. This route delivers 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d, an 18 decimal peg on BscScan. The source is native AVAX on chain 43114, not that Circle contract. A Circle whitelist will not see the credit. Read the 18 decimal field on BscScan before you report the balance.

Do I approve AVAX?

No. Native AVAX is the gas coin, 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, and you send it. Leave enough on the C-Chain for the fee. The X-Chain is not this balance. If the wallet asks for a token approval, the selected input is not AVAX. This page sends the gas coin and does not approve it.

Can this USDC pay BNB Chain gas?

No. Gas is BNB on chain 56. Pegged USDC cannot pay it. Blocks are about 3 seconds when BNB is in the account. The AVAX you sold does not become BNB. Fund BNB or the dollars sit on BscScan and do not move. Bring BNB before you try again.
