BNB Chain to AVAX Bridging Fees

When transferring your tokens from the Binance Smart Chain to the Avalanche C-Chain, you will need to consider the bridging and network transaction (gas) fee. The bridging fee is paid to Synapse Protocol for facilitating the transfer of your tokens. The network transaction fee is paid on MetaMask to cover the cost of gas and varies depending on how congested the network is.

Both transactions will cost you up to $15AUD to move your funds to the AVAX network. Once your assets have arrived to Avalanche, the cost to move funds around comes to about 0.1 cents per transaction. The gas fees on the Avalanche network are considerably lower than those on the Binance Smart Chain network.
