What to know about Avalanche C-Chain

20 confirmations, about 20 seconds

The C-Chain produces roughly one block a second. Chainhook waits 20 blocks before sending an event.

What the .e suffix means

Tokens such as DAI.e, WETH.e and WBTC.e were bridged from Ethereum and are separate contracts from their Ethereum versions. USDT and USDC on the C-Chain are issued natively.

C-Chain only

Chainhook watches the C-Chain, the EVM chain with 0x addresses. X-Chain and P-Chain addresses are not supported.

Push, not polling

Avalanche C-Chain produces about one block per second. Register an address once and Chainhook pushes each confirmed transfer after 20 blocks, instead of you polling an RPC per address.
