AVAX
AVAX moves on Avalanche’s C-Chain, the EVM one with ordinary 0x addresses. Avalanche also runs two other chains whose addresses begin with X- or P-, and those are not destinations here. A transfer sent to one of them from an EVM context does not arrive.

Transfers are quoted as one amount with the fee inside it, and every AVAX address the wallet accepts is a C-Chain address.
Questions
Can I send to an X-Chain address?
No. This wallet works with C-Chain addresses, the 0x ones.
Do I need AVAX to send USDC on Avalanche?
No. The fee is charged inside the operation.
What does a transfer on Avalanche cost?
The fee is charged in AVAX and paid out of the transfer, quoted as part of the amount before you sign. You never fund it separately.
