Swap USDT from Ethereum to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain
Swap USDT from Ethereum to USDC on Avalanche C-Chain. Wallets that need Circle's native USDC on the C-Chain spend Ethereum Tether and receive that dollar.
You send Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan, 6 decimals. You receive 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E on Snowtrace, Circle's native USDC on Avalanche C-Chain, chain id 43114. The older bridged USDC.e at 0xA7D7079b0FEaD91F3e65f86E8915Cb59c1a4C664 is a different contract and is not this output. The X-Chain and the P-Chain are the wrong networks. Gas to leave is ETH on Ethereum, about 12 seconds a block. Gas on the C-Chain is AVAX. The USDC cannot pay it. Import the native contract from Snowtrace before you deposit. Import native USDC from Snowtrace on chain id 43114. USDC.e will not move, and the X-Chain will not show the dollars at all. Confirm the native contract on Snowtrace before you deposit the dollars anywhere.
Native USDC is not USDC.e
Tether is what leaves Ethereum
Stay on Ethereum to flip the stable
AVAX after the dollar arrives

Which USDC address should I watch on Avalanche?

What do I approve on Ethereum?
Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan. Keep ETH in that wallet for gas on chain id 1. USDT cannot pay the fee, and the approval may be its own transaction. Blocks are about 12 seconds. The USDC appears only after you switch the wallet to the C-Chain.
Is this the same as USDT to USDC on Ethereum?
The tickers match and the contracts do not. On Ethereum the USDC would be 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. This route delivers 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E.
