Exchange in 3 steps
-
Choose how much ETH to send and enter your Avalanche address on Avalanche C-Chain.
-
Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.
-
Transfer ETH to the address on your order — after confirmations, AVAX is sent to your wallet automatically.
What do you need to know?
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- AVAX not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
Avalanche — fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain — quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX not received?
Confirm your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain and fully synced.
AVAX payout tips
- Payouts go to Avalanche C-Chain — use a 0x-style address compatible with your wallet.
- Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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