How the swap works
-
Type the AVAX amount and paste your Ethereum (Base) payout address on Base 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.
ETH on Base β Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base β Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced β not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base β verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

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 (Base).
How long until ETH arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Avalanche C-Chain deposit confirmations and Base 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.
