Swap SOL from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Swap SOL from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain. SOL leaves Solana, and native AVAX is what can arrive. You trade one fee coin for C-Chain gas, not for an X-Chain balance.
SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in the quote, the wrapped mint. Phantom signs, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the source fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval. AVAX is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 43114. Snowtrace shows the native row. This is not Circle, not Tether, and not ETH on Ethereum, chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, Etherscan. WBTC is not an output and is not native bitcoin.
Two gas coins, and only C-Chain AVAX arrives
Mainnet ETH is a different request
An empty X-Chain screen is not a missing bridge
Cross only when you will transact on C-Chain

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap SOL from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain?
SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 in the quote, the wrapped mint. Phantom signs, Solscan shows it, native SOL pays the source fee, and there is no ERC-20 approval.
Are the SOL mint and the AVAX sentinel the same kind of address?
No. SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 on Solscan, held in Phantom, with no ERC-20 approval. AVAX is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on C-Chain, chain id 43114, shown on Snowtrace. Native SOL still pays the source fee. X-Chain AVAX is not this credit, and neither coin pays the other network. A block interval is not a delivery time for the bridge.
Can this AVAX pay Ethereum fees?
No. Ethereum is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, explorer Etherscan, fee coin ETH. This AVAX pays C-Chain only. If mainnet gas was the goal, this route is the wrong destination. Leave enough SOL in Phantom that the source transaction can still be signed.
What if I needed USDC or USDT instead of AVAX?
Use the matching dollar route. Circle is 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E and Tether is 0x9702230a8ea53601f5cd2dc00fdbc13d4df4a8c7. Native AVAX will not satisfy either contract. This page is for C-Chain gas. Check Snowtrace on chain id 43114, not the X-Chain. Switch the wallet to the destination chain before you judge the balance.
