Avalanche Swap (AVAX)
Avalanche is a proof-of-stake smart-contract platform. AVAX is its native coin, used to pay fees and to stake with validators. The main network has several chains, and the C-Chain is the EVM-compatible chain where most wallets, tokens and applications live. Because the C-Chain works with Ethereum tooling, it uses the same 0x address format as Ethereum.
People exchange AVAX to fund a wallet for gas on Avalanche, to use applications on the C-Chain, or to switch into other coins. With BreezeSwap you send AVAX to a one-time deposit address for your order, and the payout goes directly to your wallet. No account or sign-up is required. Most exchanges take 5–30 minutes from the moment your deposit is sent.

Tips for sending and receiving AVAX
- Send and receive AVAX on the Avalanche C-Chain, which uses 0x addresses. Avalanche also has X-Chain and P-Chain addresses, which are not used for these orders.
- Because the C-Chain and Ethereum share the 0x format, make sure your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain before sending.
- Sending AVAX requires a small amount of AVAX for gas. Receiving does not require gas.

Avalanche exchange FAQ
Use the C-Chain. It is the EVM-compatible chain with 0x addresses, and it is the chain supported for AVAX deposits and payouts.
An EVM wallet can use the same 0x address on the Avalanche C-Chain. The important part is that the transaction is sent on the C-Chain, not on Ethereum.
Most exchanges take 5–30 minutes. C-Chain deposits usually confirm quickly.
