AML check on Avalanche

Avalanche runs three built-in chains: the Ethereum-compatible C-Chain, with 0x addresses, and the X- and P-Chains, whose addresses start X-avax1 or P-avax1.

Address formatC-Chain: 0x + 40 hex characters · X/P-Chain: X-avax1… / P-avax1… (Bech32)0x323627e301b12ae38ba916f634829a380ff37016Example for illustration, not a real address.
Note

Before screening, check which Avalanche chain the address is on: a 0x address belongs to the C-Chain, while X-avax1... and P-avax1... addresses belong to the X-Chain and P-Chain, which an AML checker may not support. AVAX can move between these chains inside the same wallet through a two-step export and import, so one person's funds may sit on more than one chain.

How to check an Avalanche address

  1. Get the public addressAsk your counterparty for the address they will send from — or copy it from the incoming transaction.
  2. Pick a service that covers AvalancheChoose one marked “Supported” in the list above. Pick Avalanche C-Chain (not Ethereum) when checking a 0x address, and make sure the checker explicitly supports the X-Chain or P-Chain before you rely on a result for an X-avax1... or P-avax1... address.
  3. Run the check and read itIf funds arrived through a bridge, such as the Avalanche Bridge from Bitcoin, look at their history on the source chain too: TRM Labs has documented North Korean hackers using the Avalanche Bridge to move stolen funds between Bitcoin and Avalanche.
A real AML check needs only a public address. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

Avalanche specifics

  • Avalanche's Primary Network runs three separate blockchains: the C-Chain (smart contracts), the P-Chain (validators and Avalanche L1s) and the X-Chain (Avalanche Native Tokens).[2]
  • C-Chain addresses always start with '0x', while X-Chain and P-Chain addresses use a different (Bech32) format that begins with 'X-avax1' or 'P-avax1'.[3]
  • AVAX is the network's native token: it is traded on the X-Chain, and fees for transactions on Avalanche blockchains are paid in AVAX.[4]
  • Moving AVAX between the C-Chain and the P-Chain or X-Chain is an atomic cross-chain transfer done in two steps: an export from one chain followed by an import on the other.[5]
  • The C-Chain is EVM-compatible, uses ChainID 43114, and an Avalanche node offers the same API as go-ethereum (the main Ethereum client software).[6]
  • Tether lists Avalanche among the blockchains that support USDT.[7]
  • Circle lists Avalanche among the blockchains where native USDC is available.[8]
  • TRM Labs reported in September 2023 that the Avalanche Bridge had become North Korean hackers' vehicle of choice to move funds to and from the Bitcoin blockchain, typically followed by laundering through Sinbad, a Bitcoin mixer.[9]
  • In the $41 million Stake.com hack, which the FBI attributed to North Korea, TRM Labs traced stolen funds that were swapped into wrapped BTC on Avalanche and then bridged to Bitcoin.[10]

FAQ

Why does my Avalanche wallet show more than one address?

Avalanche's Primary Network runs three chains. C-Chain addresses always start with 0x, while X-Chain and P-Chain addresses use the Bech32 format and start with X-avax1 or P-avax1. The X- or P- prefix tells you which chain an address belongs to.

Can I move AVAX from the C-Chain to a P-Chain or X-Chain address?

Yes, but it is a cross-chain transfer. Avalanche's developer docs describe two steps: export AVAX from one chain, then import it on the other. Exchanges also differ in which Avalanche chains they accept, so check which chain your deposit address is on before sending.

Are USDT and USDC available on Avalanche?

Yes. Tether lists Avalanche among USDT's supported blockchains, and Circle lists Avalanche among the blockchains where native USDC is available.

How do I check a Avalanche address for AML risk?

Copy the public address, open one of the services listed above that supports Avalanche, and run the check. You never need a seed phrase or private key.

What does “Not verified” mean?

The service claims support somewhere — in marketing copy or a third-party page — but its own docs, pricing or FAQ do not list the network. Treat it as unknown.
