Which Avalanche chain is used for asset transfers?

Explanation:
Asset transfers on Avalanche are handled by the X-Chain, the Exchange Chain, which is built specifically for creating and moving digital assets quickly and with low fees. It’s designed to issue and transfer assets—like AVAX or other tokens—without involving smart contract logic. The C-Chain hosts smart contracts (EVM-compatible), so contract interactions happen there, while the P-Chain coordinates validators and subnets and isn’t used for transferring assets. There isn’t a separate AVAX Chain used for asset transfers. So when you move assets, you’re typically using the X-Chain.
