How to Send AVAX from Coinbase to MetaMask

Step-by-Step Guide to Transferring AVAX Tokens

1. Prepare Your MetaMask Wallet

   • Open MetaMask and ensure you're connected to the Avalanche Network (C-Chain).
   • Copy your AVAX address by clicking the address symbol in MetaMask.

2. Withdraw AVAX from Coinbase

   • Log in to your Coinbase account.
   • Navigate to AVAX in your assets list, click the "Wallet" tab, and select Send.
   • Paste your MetaMask AVAX address into the recipient field.

3. Confirm Network Compatibility

   • Only use the C-Chain for transfers to MetaMask (other Avalanche chains like X-Chain/P-Chain are incompatible).
   • Double-check the address format (starts with "0x") before sending.

4. Initiate the Transfer

   • Enter the amount of AVAX to send.
   • Review transaction fees (paid in AVAX) and confirm.

5. Monitor the Transaction

   • Transaction times vary based on network congestion (typically 1–5 minutes).
   • Track progress via Coinbase history or Avalanche Explorer.

FAQs

Can I send AVAX directly from Coinbase to MetaMask?

Yes, but you must ensure MetaMask is configured for the Avalanche C-Chain. Transfers to other chains will fail.

Why isn’t my AVAX showing up in MetaMask?

• Verify the transaction was sent to the C-Chain.
• Check if the transaction is confirmed on the Avalanche Explorer.

What are the transaction fees?

Fees are paid in AVAX and typically cost less than $0.50. Fees vary based on network demand.

How long does the transfer take?

Most transfers complete within 5 minutes, but delays can occur during peak usage.

Pro Tips

• 👉 Maximize your AVAX holdings by staking for passive income.
• Always send a test transaction with a small amount first.
• Use hardware wallets like Ledger for added security when storing AVAX long-term.

Troubleshooting

• Incorrect Network: If AVAX isn’t visible in MetaMask, manually add the Avalanche C-Chain:

  • Network Name: Avalanche C-Chain
  • RPC URL: https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc
  • ChainID: 43114
  • Symbol: AVAX
• Lost Transactions: Contact Coinbase support with the transaction hash if funds don’t arrive after 30 minutes.
