THE TRAP

Your USDT is in a wallet with 0 AVAX?

Then that wallet cannot send its USDT on Avalanche: gas on the C-Chain is paid in AVAX. Send from an exchange account instead, or swap USDT you hold on Tron, BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum to AVAX. The AVAX arrives at your C-Chain address.

HOW MUCH

How much AVAX do I need?

AVAX
pays the gas on the Avalanche C-Chain
A few cents
or less: a usual token transfer on the C-Chain
C-Chain
where USDT and USDC live on Avalanche; AVAX on the X-Chain or P-Chain does not pay C-Chain gas

Gas on the C-Chain changes with demand; your wallet shows the exact fee before you confirm.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps

  1. 1

    Enter your Avalanche address

    The address that holds your USDT or USDC. That is where the AVAX goes.

  2. 2

    Send the coin you have

    Send it on the network shown on the deposit card.

  3. 3

    AVAX arrives

    Once your deposit is confirmed, AVAX is sent to your Avalanche address, and your USDT or USDC can move.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need an account?

No. You give the Avalanche address the AVAX should go to and send the coin you have; there is no account to open.

Is there a minimum?

Yes. The form shows the minimum for your route as soon as you choose the coins, before you send anything.

How long does it take?

The AVAX is sent once your deposit is confirmed on its own network. The quote states a typical time where we know one.

My exchange offers AVAX on the X-Chain and the C-Chain. Which one?

The C-Chain. Your 0x address is a C-Chain address, and that is where gas for USDT and USDC on Avalanche is paid.
