Frequently asked
AVAX on Avalanche — common questions
Is earning yield on AVAX on Avalanche safe? +
Every pool carries smart-contract risk. LP and lending pools layer on impermanent loss, liquidation, or oracle risk depending on the type. Stick with audited protocols, large TVL, and rates close to the median — outliers usually carry hidden risk.
How do I get AVAX onto Avalanche? +
Most users bridge from a major exchange or use a chain-native bridge. Always test with a small amount first. Bridge fees + gas can be significant for small deposits — check the math before moving anything under $200.
What's the highest AVAX yield on Avalanche? +
Right now Gmx V2 Perps pays roughly 4.78% APY — the top of our ranking. Higher published rates exist on smaller pools, but those usually fail the size + sanity filter we apply.
How are these yields calculated? +
