{% hint style="info" %}
There are two types of network to withdraw to during this process.&#x20;

* **X-chain** or "AVAX" chain is to withdraw to **Exchange chain**;
* **C-chain** is the **smart contract chain** used for DeFi.&#x20;

Use C chain if available, otherwise and additional step to transfer it from X-chain to C-chain is needed.
