AVAX to SOL: Swap X-Chain Avalanche to Solana, No KYC

Before anything else, find out which Avalanche chain holds your AVAX. This pair takes it from the X-Chain, the chain whose addresses start with X-avax1. Most apps and MetaMask use the C-Chain instead, with 0x addresses, and AVAX there counts as a different coin in the exchange box.

Core shows both. Its account details list an X-Chain address and a separate 0x address for the C-Chain, each with its own balance. If the AVAX is on the X-Chain, you are on the right page. If it is on the C-Chain, choose AVAX C-Chain as the coin you send; AVAX C-Chain to SOL is open too.

You can also shift AVAX between the two inside Core with its cross-chain transfer. That takes an export and an import, each signed separately, and is only worth the extra steps if you want the X-Chain route for some other reason.

Start the send from the X-Chain balance in Core and paste the one-time deposit address from the box. X-Chain transfers finalize in a few seconds, which makes the deposit side of this swap quick.

The X-Chain charges a small network fee in AVAX on top of the amount you send. Swapping the entire balance leaves nothing to cover it, so keep a little AVAX on the X-Chain. Send the amount shown in one go rather than splitting it into parts.

Enter the same X-avax1 address as the sender address. The deposit must come from it, and it receives the AVAX if a refund is needed. A 0x address is rejected in that field on this pair. You can watch the deposit settle on Avascan by searching for your X-avax1 address.

The payout goes to a Solana address: 32 to 44 letters and numbers, with no 0x prefix. Phantom, Solflare and a Ledger all provide one. Take it from the receive screen of the wallet. An X-avax1 or 0x address in this field will not be accepted, and nothing from your Avalanche wallet carries over to Solana.

SOL is Solana's own coin, so the payout covers its own fees. Once it lands you can send it, stake it or use it in Solana apps without adding anything else. That differs from receiving a Solana token, which needs SOL beside it before it can move.

On Solana the payout is confirmed in under a minute. If the wallet does not show it right away, paste your address into Solscan; the incoming transfer is listed there as soon as the network has it.

Both sides pay fees in their own coin, so there is no second balance to arrange anywhere in this swap. The two address formats look nothing alike, which makes a paste mistake easy to spot. The real trap sits outside the table: AVAX on the C-Chain, which is not in the left column at all. If Core shows your AVAX under the C-Chain, switch the send coin before going further. With that settled, the deposit takes seconds and the payout well under a minute.

The exchange box shows how much SOL you receive after fees for the AVAX you enter, quoted from aggregated liquidity from leading crypto markets. The rate is floating: it follows the market until the X-Chain deposit confirms. The minimum and maximum for this pair are listed in the box as well.

Because both chains settle fast, the window in which the rate can drift is short on this pair. Most swaps finish within minutes once the deposit confirms. For the mechanics behind floating quotes, see how floating-rate pricing works.

There is no sign-up step. GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange with no account, email or ID; you supply only the Solana address, the X-avax1 sender address and the AVAX deposit.

If a swap cannot be completed, the coins are refunded to the sender address you entered. On this pair that address is on the X-Chain, so the AVAX returns to Core's X-Chain balance, not to a C-Chain or MetaMask account.

The status page under your swap ID shows the deposit, its confirmation and the SOL payout. If Avascan shows your AVAX confirmed and the page has not moved for a long time, email support@ghostswap.io with the swap ID and the X-Chain transaction ID. Do not send AVAX a second time.

For the opposite direction, the SOL to AVAX page sends from Phantom or Solflare and pays to an X-avax1 address. If you want a Solana stablecoin rather than SOL, AVAX to USDC SOL pays a Solana token instead, which then needs some SOL beside it.
