On GhostSwap this coin is AVAX on the Avalanche X-Chain, the chain built for sending and holding assets; the C-Chain, where Avalanche's EVM apps run, is listed separately as AVAX C-Chain. No account is needed, and the AVAX goes to the address you enter. The ETH deposit confirms in about 2 to 5 minutes and Avalanche finalizes the payout within seconds, so most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. Ethereum wallets such as MetaMask only show 0x addresses, so the usual mistake here is pasting one. A 0x address belongs to the C-Chain and is not accepted for this coin. ### Tips - Paste the full X-Chain address from Core, including the X- prefix (X-avax1...). The same address without the prefix, or with P- in front, is rejected. - Planning to use AVAX in C-Chain apps or with MetaMask? Choose AVAX C-Chain as the receive coin instead of moving funds between chains afterwards. - Send native ETH on Ethereum mainnet from your own wallet, keep a little extra for gas, and enter that 0x address as the refund address. ### Can I swap ETH to AVAX without KYC? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your X-avax1 address, check the floating rate and send the ETH. ### Can I move X-Chain AVAX to the C-Chain later? Yes. Core has a cross-chain transfer: you approve an export from the X-Chain, then an import on the C-Chain, and the AVAX appears at your 0x address. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap ETH to AVAX on GhostSwap? Most ETH to AVAX swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the ETH deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the AVAX is sent to your wallet, and Avalanche X-Chain confirms the payout in a few seconds. Busy networks can add a few minutes. ### How much is 1 ETH in AVAX? At 4 Oct 2026, 03:52 UTC, 1 ETH swapped to about 240.6747 AVAX on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.012 ETH. The rate floats with the market until your ETH deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### What are the fees for converting Ethereum to Avalanche? The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the AVAX amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Ethereum network fee for your deposit is paid in ETH by your wallet. ### What wallet should I use to receive AVAX? To receive Avalanche from your swap, we recommend using Core (copy its X-Chain address). For AVAX in MetaMask or another 0x wallet, pick AVAX C-Chain instead. Make sure your wallet supports the Avalanche X-Chain network before starting the exchange. Double-check your AVAX address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed. ### What format is the AVAX address? Use an Avalanche X-Chain address: it starts with X-avax1 (an X-Chain address; 0x C-Chain addresses are not accepted). Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. ### Can I track my ETH to AVAX swap? Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your ETH payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info). ### Is it safe to exchange ETH for AVAX on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ETH deposit is converted and the AVAX is sent straight to the Avalanche X-Chain address you enter, so check that address twice — Avalanche X-Chain transfers cannot be reversed. ### How does a cross-chain ETH to AVAX swap work? Ethereum lives on Ethereum and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ETH on Ethereum and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my ETH to AVAX exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the ETH is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network. ## Related - [Reverse: AVAX to ETH](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-eth/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-eth.md)) - [All GhostSwap pairs](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/) - [How to exchange](https://ghostswap.io/how-to-exchange/) - [Site guide for AI assistants](https://ghostswap.io/llms.txt)
