How the BTC → AVAX order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a AVAX address in Avalanche C-Chain and a way to reach you.
- Send BTC in Bitcoin for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, Avalanche leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending BTC
- The address network is Avalanche C-Chain. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- 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.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Bitcoin against Avalanche C-Chain
| Bitcoin | Avalanche C-Chain | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | Layer one (L1) |
| Fees are paid in | BTC | AVAX |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.11 | ≈ < $0.0001 |
| Speed | slow | fast |
| Block | ~10 min | — |
| Address shape | 1…, 3…, bc1… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | no | 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 in Avalanche C-Chain | Usually a wrapper like WBTC, which then has to be swapped |
| 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 Bitcoin; 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 |
