Swap USDT from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Swap USDT from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain. Tether's SPL mint leaves Solana, and native AVAX is what can arrive to pay gas on C-Chain. You do not receive an X-Chain balance.
The mint is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Phantom and Solscan handle it with no ERC-20 approval. AVAX is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE on chain id 43114. Snowtrace shows the native row. This is not Tether at 0x9702230a8ea53601f5cd2dc00fdbc13d4df4a8c7 and not Circle at 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E. Ethereum gas is ETH on chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, Etherscan.
The sentinel is C-Chain AVAX, not a dollar and not X-Chain
SOL pays the request, AVAX pays everything after

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDT from Solana to AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain?
The mint is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Phantom and Solscan handle it with no ERC-20 approval.
Is this AVAX on the X-Chain?
No. Native AVAX arrives on C-Chain, chain id 43114, quoted as 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. X-Chain and P-Chain will not show it. Tether's mint left Solana. Check the AVAX row on Snowtrace. Do not import the sentinel as a token. This AVAX pays C-Chain fees. Confirm the contract on the explorer before you sign.
Can Phantom hold the AVAX?
No. Phantom holds Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB and signs with SOL. AVAX is native gas on C-Chain in an EVM wallet. There is no ERC-20 approval on the Solana mint. Solscan shows the debit. Snowtrace shows the credit. Keep SOL so the debit can happen. Keep the destination gas token or the arrival cannot move.
Will this AVAX pay fees on Ethereum?
No. Ethereum is chain id 1, about 12 second blocks, explorer Etherscan, fee coin ETH. This route funds C-Chain only. If mainnet gas was the shortage, you are on the wrong page. Read the minimum AVAX and skip a floor that will not cover your C-Chain transactions.
