How the swap works
-
Type the ETH amount and paste your Avalanche payout address on Avalanche C-Chain.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, AVAX is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Ethereum deposits usually confirm within a few blocks (about 12 seconds each).
- When gas spikes, the send costs more, but inclusion is still typically fast.
- Send ETH on Ethereum mainnet only β not BSC, Base, or other L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- If AVAX 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.
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.
Send ETH on the listed chain
Use an Ethereum mainnet wallet for deposits. L2 or alternate-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas on top of the swap amount.
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 not received?
Confirm your wallet is set to Avalanche C-Chain and fully synced.
AVAX payout tips
- Payouts go to Avalanche C-Chain β use a 0x-style address compatible with your wallet.
- Check Snowtrace or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a minute for your wallet to refresh after the explorer shows the transfer.

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