Swap USDC from Avalanche C-Chain to ETH on Ethereum
Swap USDC from Avalanche C-Chain to ETH on Ethereum. Circle USDC leaves the C-Chain, and native ETH arrives on Ethereum.
Spend 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E on Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114. Snowtrace shows Circle's USDC. AVAX pays the send. The C-Chain is not the X-Chain. Receive native ETH on Ethereum, chain 1. The placeholder is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, shown on Etherscan as the account balance, not as a token page. Blocks are about 12 seconds. ETH is not WETH at 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. It is the gas coin.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDC from Avalanche C-Chain to ETH on Ethereum?
Spend 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E on Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114. Snowtrace shows Circle's USDC. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.
Does this ETH count as WETH?
No. Native ETH is the gas coin on Ethereum, chain 1, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Etherscan shows the account balance. WETH is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. A pool that accepts only WETH will not see this balance until you wrap it. That wrap is a separate step. This route stops at native ETH on the account in Etherscan.
Where does the USDC leave from?
Circle's contract 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E on Avalanche C-Chain, chain 43114, which you check on Snowtrace. Not the X-Chain, and not USDC.e. AVAX pays the C-Chain fee. The ETH credit is on Etherscan and will not appear in the Snowtrace USDC balance. Chain 1 is Ethereum, and the X-Chain is neither side of this hop.
Is the 12 second block the arrival time?
No. About 12 seconds is how often Ethereum produces a block. The bridge wait sits on top of that and is not stated here. If the quote expires, request another. AVAX on the C-Chain and ETH on Ethereum remain separate gas coins throughout. Fund both if you need to send on each chain.
