Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much AVAX to send and enter your Ethereum address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer AVAX to the address on your order — after confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast — often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only — not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Ethereum — programmable money on-chain
ETH powers Ethereum mainnet — gas, staking, DeFi, and most smart-contract activity in crypto live here.
What if my ETH hasn't arrived?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
How fast is the ETH payout?
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms — Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
Receiving ETH on the correct network
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet — not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms — best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window — useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap AVAX to ETH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Avalanche to Ethereum swaps.
How long does AVAX to ETH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Avalanche C-Chain and Ethereum mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is AVAX to ETH non-custodial?
Yes. You send AVAX from your wallet and receive ETH directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send AVAX on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Avalanche C-Chain for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
