How the swap works
-
Type the AVAX amount and paste your Ethereum payout address on Ethereum mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast AVAX to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ETH is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Avalanche C-Chain confirmations are typically very fast β often under a minute.
- Send AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain only β not X-Chain or P-Chain unless your order specifies them.
- Use a C-Chain compatible wallet and address (0xβ¦). Leave enough AVAX for gas.
- If ETH has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Avalanche β fast smart-contract L1
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche C-Chain β quick finality, EVM compatibility, and deep cross-chain liquidity.
AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain
Use an Avalanche C-Chain wallet for deposits. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not interchangeable with C-Chain.
Leave enough AVAX in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
Ethereum β smart-contract base layer
ETH is the gas and settlement asset of Ethereum mainnet β staking, DeFi, and most contract activity run here.
ETH payout not showing?
Check the order page for a payout transaction hash first.
Confirm your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and fully synced.
ETH payout timing
Most payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms β Ethereum blocks are ~12 seconds apart.
ETH must land on the listed chain
- Payouts go to Ethereum mainnet β not BSC, Base, Arbitrum, or other L2s unless your order explicitly lists them.
- Double-check the address you paste: one wrong character sends funds to an unreachable wallet.
- Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, hardware devices) are recommended for long-term holding.
Float vs fixed rate on ETH payouts
The rate mode you pick at the top of the swap widget affects how your final ETH amount is calculated.
- Float rate follows the market until your deposit confirms β best when mempools are quiet.
- Fixed rate locks the quote for a short window β useful when ETH price is moving quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Does AVAX to ETH require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Avalanche to Ethereum.
How long until ETH arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Avalanche C-Chain deposit confirmations and Ethereum mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold AVAX or ETH for me?
No. You send AVAX from a wallet you control and ETH is paid to the address you provide β PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send AVAX on the wrong chain?
Use Avalanche C-Chain exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited β read the swap safety notes first.
