BNB Chain to Avalanche bridge

There is no official bridge between BNB Chain and Avalanche, but both are EVM networks, so many third-party bridges connect them. Stargate, deBridge, Relay and Symbiosis move stablecoins and swap BNB into AVAX or other tokens. Stablecoins on BNB Chain are Binance-Peg tokens, so bridges swap them into native Avalanche USDC or USDT. You need AVAX for gas on Avalanche.

Fees and timing

BNB Chain gas is usually a few cents.

Bridges include their fee and the Avalanche gas in the quote. Compare the final amount you receive.

Avalanche fees are low, but every transaction there needs some AVAX.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing Avalanche X-Chain or P-Chain at an exchange. Use C-Chain for EVM wallets.
  • Arriving on Avalanche with no AVAX for gas.
  • Selecting another EVM network by mistake. The address is the same, so funds arrive on the wrong network.

Before you transfer

  • Try a small amount first.
  • For stablecoins, check whether you receive native USDC or USDT on Avalanche.
  • For large amounts, compare a bridge quote with an exchange withdrawal.
