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

Swap ETH from BNB Chain to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain. You send Binance-Peg ETH on BNB Chain and you receive native AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain.

Approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56. Gas for the approval is BNB, blocks about 3 seconds. The peg is not the gas coin. On C-Chain the marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means AVAX. Snowtrace shows the native credit. Chain id 43114, not the X-Chain. That AVAX can pay later fees. It is not USDC and not USDT.

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

The peg is sold, BNB only pays the fee

This input is 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 and nothing else. A wallet full of BNB and empty of the peg cannot use the page. You still need BNB so the approval is mined. You take AVAX price risk. If you wanted USDC or USDT on C-Chain, you are on the wrong payout.

AVAX is the native marker on chain id 43114

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is not an ERC-20 on Snowtrace. Here it means AVAX. The same marker on BNB Chain would mean BNB, which is not what you are sending. The received AVAX can pay C-Chain fees, so you do not need a prior AVAX balance for the credit to be usable. The X-Chain is a different address world.

Dollar tokens if AVAX was not the request

Circle USDC and Tether are contracts, not this marker. Open those pages if that is what the destination needs. How bridges work explains the hop. It does not lock the AVAX amount, and a fast BNB Chain block is not a completion time.

Look on Snowtrace, not on BscScan, for the result

BscScan will show the peg leaving chain id 56. The AVAX will not appear there. Set the wallet to C-Chain, chain id 43114, and use Snowtrace. Read the minimum AVAX before you sign. If you would not hold that much AVAX, do not sign. The X-Chain is not a fallback.

Frequently asked questions

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

Approve 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8. BscScan shows that peg on chain id 56. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Does the ETH ticker on BNB Chain become AVAX one for one?

No. You sell the peg at 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8, and the quote prices it into AVAX. The destination marker is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which means AVAX on Snowtrace. Nothing locks that price. Gas on the send is BNB. The X-Chain is not where the AVAX arrives.

Will I still need extra AVAX after this route?

The payout is AVAX, so it can pay C-Chain fees once it arrives. You do not need a prior AVAX balance for that. You do need BNB to approve the peg. Snowtrace shows a native credit, chain id 43114. If you wanted USDT instead, this page is the wrong tool.

Can I send BNB on this page and still get AVAX?

Not on this page. BNB uses the gas-coin marker as the input on other routes. This page approves 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8 only. If BscScan shows BNB and no peg, stop. Signing an empty approval does not start the swap. Check BscScan first.
