Frequently Asked Questions

Wrapped AVAX (WAVAX) is an ERC-20 token that represents AVAX, the native asset of the Avalanche blockchain, on a 1:1 basis. It is designed to enable AVAX to be used seamlessly within decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts that require ERC-20 compatibility, particularly on Avalanche’s C-Chain. This wrapping process allows AVAX to interact with a broader range of DeFi protocols and services that support the ERC-20 standard.

  • DeFi Integration: WAVAX enables AVAX holders to participate in various DeFi activities, such as lending, borrowing, and liquidity provision, on platforms that support ERC-20 tokens

  • Cross-Chain Compatibility: By conforming to the ERC-20 standard, WAVAX facilitates interoperability between Avalanche and Ethereum-based platforms, allowing for broader use across different blockchain ecosystems.

  • Real-World Payments: WAVAX can be used for everyday transactions through the Avalanche Card, which supports payments at Visa merchants globally, bridging the gap between DeFi and traditional finance.

WAVAX was developed by Ava Labs, the team behind the Avalanche blockchain. The implementation is based on the canonical Wrapped Ether (WETH) contract, adapted to wrap AVAX tokens. The smart contract for WAVAX is publicly available and maintained on Ava Labs' GitHub repository.
