What is the Avalanche network?#

Avalanche is a separate blockchain platform whose primary network includes an EVM-compatible contract chain commonly called the C-Chain. CenturionDEX does not operate on Avalanche; its swaps and liquidity pools run on the Centurion blockchain.

How Avalanche is organized#

Avalanche uses multiple chains for different functions. The C-Chain executes EVM smart contracts, while other parts of the primary network handle validator coordination and native asset operations. The ecosystem also supports separately configured Avalanche layer 1 networks.

EVM compatibility means familiar wallet addresses, contract languages, and developer tools can be used. It does not make Avalanche and Centurion one network. They have separate consensus systems, chain identities, fee assets, contracts, balances, and transaction histories.

What this means for CenturionDEX#

A token or pool on Avalanche is not a Centurion asset or Centurion Protocol pool. To use CenturionDEX, your wallet must be connected to:

Centurion mainnet, chain ID 286, for production activity.
Fornax, chain ID 287, or Centaurus, chain ID 288, for supported testing.

Switching to Avalanche cannot reveal CenturionDEX liquidity there. A third-party application using similar AMM concepts is a different deployment with different contracts and risks.

Moving assets between networks#

A direct wallet transfer does not bridge an asset between Avalanche and Centurion. Cross-network movement requires a verified bridge, issuer-supported process, or exchange withdrawal route that explicitly supports both sides.

Never assume such a route exists. Verify current official Centurion information, supported assets, contract addresses, and recovery procedures before sending anything. A wrapped or bridged token is a representation governed by additional contracts and trust assumptions.

Common issues#

The address looks the same: EVM-compatible address formatting can match while balances remain separate.
A token symbol appears on both networks: compare contract addresses and issuer documentation.
CenturionDEX shows wrong network: switch back to chain ID 286 or the intended Centurion testnet.
Funds were sent through an unsupported path: contact the receiving service or bridge operator; CenturionDEX cannot reverse the transfer.
A site claims an Avalanche CenturionDEX pool exists: verify through official Centurion channels before signing.

Stay safe#

Do not add a network or bridge from an unsolicited message. Check chain IDs, contract addresses, approval spenders, and wallet simulations. Never share a recovery phrase or private key to “synchronize” assets between Avalanche and Centurion.
