Ethereum → Avalanche C-Chain routes
| Network | Route | Rate | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 1 USDC ERC20 = 1.0001 USDC AVAX C | — | |
| Ethereum | 1 USDT ERC20 = 1.0001 USDT AVAX C | — | |
| Ethereum | 1 ETH = 322.6144 AVAX | — | |
| Ethereum | 1 DAI = 1.0048 USDC AVAX C | — | |
| Ethereum | 1 DAI = 1.0056 USDT AVAX C | — | |
| Ethereum | 1 USDC ERC20 = 1.0009 USDT AVAX C | — | |

Ethereum against Avalanche C-Chain
| Ethereum | Avalanche C-Chain | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | Layer one (L1) |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | AVAX |
| Fee level | high | low |
| Speed | medium | fast |
| Block | ~12 sec | — |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.
How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | Native AVAX or ordinary Avalanche C-Chain tokens | Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token |
| Wallet and signatures | Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order | Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions |
| A coin for fees in Avalanche C-Chain | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Ethereum; the order page tracks it | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |
Moving from Ethereum to Avalanche C-Chain, step by step
- Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
- Enter your own address in Avalanche C-Chain (0x…).
- Send the coins in Ethereum to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
- Once Ethereum confirms the transfer, the coins leave for your address in Avalanche C-Chain. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending to Avalanche C-Chain
- The receiving address has to belong to Avalanche C-Chain (0x…).
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Avalanche C-Chain.
- Send the coins in Ethereum only: a transfer through another network never reaches the order.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Common questions: Ethereum → Avalanche C-Chain
How do I get coins from Ethereum into Avalanche C-Chain?
Through an exchange order: you send coins in Ethereum and USDC, USDT and AVAX arrive at your address in Avalanche C-Chain. No bridge contracts, no wallet to connect, no wrappers.
What can be moved from Ethereum into Avalanche C-Chain?
Right now: USDC, USDT and AVAX. Rates and floors are in the table above.
How long does the move from Ethereum to Avalanche C-Chain take?
First the confirmations in Ethereum, then the send into Avalanche C-Chain. After that it comes down to how busy the networks are. A block in Ethereum closes in about 12 sec.
What pays the fees in Avalanche C-Chain?
The AVAX coin. You do not need it to receive funds — only later, when you decide to move them on.
Which address does Avalanche C-Chain need?
An address in Avalanche C-Chain: 0x… A plain Ethereum-style address (0x…) works, but the wallet has to be switched to Avalanche C-Chain.
