Avalanche C-Chain reference for Plaidly
Avalanche
Status: coming soon. Plaidly does not yet settle payments on Avalanche. The details below describe planned support. Today only Ethereum and Solana are settleable.
Overview
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
chain value | avalanche |
| Finality | ~2 seconds (probabilistic) |
| Native token | AVAX |
| Address format | Same as Ethereum (0x + 40 hex chars) on C-Chain |
| Mainnet RPC | Planned |
| Testnet | Fuji |
Supported tokens
| Token | Contract (C-Chain Mainnet) |
|---|---|
| USDC | 0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E |
| AVAX (native) | — |
Confirmations
When Avalanche settlement ships, Plaidly will require 5 block confirmations before marking a payment confirmed. Avalanche achieves sub-2-second finality via the Snowman consensus protocol, so 5 confirmations take under 10 seconds.
Fees
Avalanche fees are low (typically $0.01–$0.10 per transaction). AVAX is required for C-Chain gas — Plaidly's receiving wallets are pre-funded.

Address format
Avalanche C-Chain uses the same address format as Ethereum:

- Planned support covers the C-Chain only (EVM-compatible). X-Chain and P-Chain are not supported
- Avalanche uses the Snowman consensus protocol for linear chain ordering
- AVAX is used for gas on the C-Chain; native AVAX can also be accepted as payment
- Avalanche Warp Messaging enables cross-subnet communication
