Transfer AVAX from C-Chain to P-Chain

Avalanche has three primary chains, each serving a different purpose for the network:

a. C-Chain: Avalanche's smart contract platform that is fully Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible.

b. P-Chain: Avalanche's platform coordination layer, responsible for staking, validator management, and subnet creation.

c. X-Chain: Avalanche's "exchange chain", primarily used for asset transfers and creating new assets (less prominent in dApp or staking usage)

Below is a quick guide to help walk you through moving your AVAX from Avalanche's C-Chain to P-Chain so that it can be delegated, staked, and you can start earning rewards:

Step 1 - Exporting

  • Review and approve transaction on Ledger

Step 2 - Import

  • Review and approve transaction on Ledger
