On this pair the AVAX arrives on the X-Chain, so you need an X-Chain address, which Core provides; a Solana wallet cannot receive it. The swap needs no account, and the AVAX goes straight to the address you enter. Solana confirms the deposit in under a minute and Avalanche finalizes the payout in a few seconds, so the whole swap is usually quick. If you plan to use Avalanche DeFi or C-Chain tokens, choose AVAX C-Chain as the receive coin instead. That pays to a 0x address, which Core and MetaMask both show. ### Tips - Core can show the X-Chain address without its prefix, as avax1..., and uses the same address body on the P-Chain. For this payout, add X- in front so it reads X-avax1... - Leave some SOL in your Solana wallet for the transaction fee, and enter the sending address as the refund address. - AVAX payouts need no memo or tag; the X-Chain address is all you enter. ### Can I swap SOL to AVAX without an account? Yes. A standard swap needs no account, email or ID. Paste your X-Chain address, check the floating rate and send the SOL from your own wallet. ### Can I stake the AVAX I receive? Yes, but staking runs on Avalanche's P-Chain. Core can move AVAX from the X-Chain to the P-Chain with a cross-chain transfer and delegate it to a validator, subject to Avalanche's minimum delegation amount and minimum staking period. ## FAQ ### How long does it take to swap SOL to AVAX on GhostSwap? Most SOL to AVAX swaps are paid out within 5–15 minutes: the SOL deposit needs under a minute to confirm on Solana, 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 SOL in AVAX? At 4 Oct 2026, 05:33 UTC, 1 SOL swapped to about 10.7228 AVAX on GhostSwap, after the service fee. The minimum for this pair is about 0.25 SOL. The rate floats with the market until your SOL deposit confirms, so the exchange box shows the exact amount before you send. ### What are the fees for converting Solana 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 Solana network fee for your deposit is paid in SOL 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 SOL 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 SOL payment on Solscan (https://solscan.io) and your incoming AVAX on Avascan (https://avascan.info). ### Is it safe to exchange SOL for AVAX on GhostSwap? GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your SOL 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 SOL to AVAX swap work? Solana lives on Solana and Avalanche on Avalanche X-Chain, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your SOL on Solana and pays native AVAX on Avalanche X-Chain, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees. ### What happens if my SOL to AVAX exchange fails? If a swap cannot be completed, the SOL is refunded to the Solana 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 SOL](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-sol/) ([Markdown](https://ghostswap.io/exchange/avax-sol.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)
