How the BTC → AVAX exchange runs

  1. Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.00116789 BTC.
  2. Give a AVAX address on Avalanche C-Chain and a contact for the order.
  3. Send BTC on Bitcoin, exactly the amount the order shows.
  4. Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Avalanche to your address. The order page shows the status.

Swap BTC for AVAX

Check this before sending BTC

  • The address network is Avalanche C-Chain. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 0.00116789 BTC.
  • Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
  • Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon addresses look the same (0x…) — make sure the wallet is switched to Avalanche C-Chain.
  • Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

How an exchange differs from an ordinary bridge

Why people take the BTC → AVAX route

  • Fuel for Avalanche C-ChainWithout Avalanche you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in Avalanche C-Chain — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
  • Different basketsDaily moves of BTC and AVAX over 90 days link at 0.71 (they travel together) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.

Common questions: BTC → AVAX

What rate does BTC to AVAX run at?
As of Nov 10, 2026 13:19 it is 1 BTC = 8,811.26 AVAX. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $74,543.27.
What amounts does BTC → AVAX accept?
From 0.00116789 to 134 BTC per order. The floor is roughly $87.40.
Why can I not swap less than 0.00116789 BTC?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 0.00116789 BTC they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending BTC, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping BTC for AVAX take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Bitcoin confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant. A block in Bitcoin closes in about 10 min.
Will real AVAX be credited, or a wrapper?
Real. AVAX is the Avalanche C-Chain network's own coin, and transfers inside it are paid for with the same coin.
Is AVAX needed to receive AVAX?
No: fees in Avalanche C-Chain are charged in the same AVAX, so there is no second coin to hold.
Which network will AVAX arrive in?
Avalanche arrives in its own Avalanche C-Chain network — a plain AVAX address is all you need.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the BTC to AVAX rate do over the month?
Over the month, plus 18.68%: a low of 7,634.7, a high of 9,486.85, an average of 8,735.7 AVAX per 1 BTC.
Can I swap back, AVAX for BTC?
The AVAX → BTC pair is not running at the moment. The directions available with AVAX are listed below.
