Which AVAX network should I choose when swapping from BCH?

AVAX is supported on the Avalanche X-Chain, C-Chain, and BNB Smart Chain. The C-Chain is the network most compatible with smart-contract platforms and EVM wallets, while the X-Chain is Avalanche's native transfer layer. Check which network your receiving wallet or exchange accepts before selecting one in Zest.

Can I send BCH from BNB Smart Chain when swapping to AVAX?

Yes, Zest supports BCH on both the native BCH network and BNB Smart Chain. If your BCH is held as a BEP-20 token, select BNB Smart Chain as the send network. Just ensure the network you choose in Zest matches the network from which you are actually sending the funds.

Why do traders swap BCH for AVAX?

BCH is primarily used as a medium of exchange and store of value on its own proof-of-work chain, while AVAX is the gas and governance token of a smart-contract platform with its own ecosystem of DeFi and other applications. Users often make this swap when they want to move liquidity from a payments-oriented asset into an ecosystem that supports on-chain applications.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for BCH to AVAX?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of AVAX you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your BCH deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a BCH to AVAX exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your BCH deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and AVAX network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange BCH for AVAX?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send BCH from your own wallet and receive AVAX at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

How to swap BCH for AVAX

1
Open the exchange widget and select BCH as the send currency and AVAX as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of BCH you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your AVAX wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your BCH to the deposit address shown. Your AVAX arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging BCH → AVAX

Before sending BCH, confirm whether you are sending from the native BCH network or BNB Smart Chain, and make sure the network you select on Zest matches exactly. On the receiving side, AVAX can arrive on the Avalanche X-Chain, C-Chain, or BNB Smart Chain — check which network your destination wallet or platform supports before confirming. Network mismatches can result in delayed or unrecoverable funds. Neither BCH nor AVAX requires a memo or destination tag on any of the supported networks for this route, so no extra identifier is needed. Review the destination address and selected networks one final time on the confirmation screen before submitting, as on-chain transactions cannot be reversed.
