AVAX and ChainATM
ChainATM does not currently offer Avalanche (AVAX) as a direct purchase in the app. This guide only explains what to check about the asset. Whether a swap into AVAX is possible is shown only by the current proposal in the app.
What to check about AVAX
- Layer-1 tokens depend on whether their network is used: fees, validators and the applications built on it. Their prices are volatile.
- AVAX can exist on more than one network, and the versions are not interchangeable. Check the network in the proposal. Sending to an address on the wrong network can lose the funds.
- ChainATM adds no fee or markup of its own. Network, provider and bridge costs still apply. Some are built into the quoted amount rather than listed separately, so check what you pay and what you receive before you confirm.

Does ChainATM hold my AVAX?
ChainATM does not operate an omnibus customer wallet or hold crypto on its own balance sheet. The default embedded wallet is provided by Privy. After you confirm a supported action, execution may use ChainATM's authenticated backend and Privy's wallet infrastructure, or request approval from a connected external wallet, depending on the route. A confirmation screen is not proof that every action is signed only on your device or universally gated by a passkey.
