How this differs from a classic bridge

What lands at your addressNative AVAX or ordinary Avalanche C-Chain tokensDepends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token
Wallet and signaturesNot needed: the coins go to the address from the orderNeeded: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions
A coin for fees in Avalanche C-ChainNot needed to receiveOften needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on

Moving from OP Mainnet (Optimism) to Avalanche C-Chain, step by step

  1. Pick a route in the table above and work out the amount in the calculator on its page.
  2. Enter your own address in Avalanche C-Chain (0x…).
  3. Send the coins in OP Mainnet (Optimism) to the address from the order, for exactly the amount stated.
  4. Once OP Mainnet (Optimism) 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 OP Mainnet (Optimism) 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.
