FTM to AVAX Bridging Fees

The fees to bridge from Fantom Opera to Avalanche are relatively low because both networks are low-fee Proof of Stake networks. On-chain fees will probably total about $4 to move your tokens from FTM to AVAX.

You do incur some slippage when swapping stablecoins on Synapse, but it is only about 0.01% in total.

FTM to AVAX Conversion

If you want to swap FTM for AVAX tokens directly on the Fantom Opera chain, you cannot do this. You will need to swap FTM to USDC on Fantom, then bridge tokens across the Avalanche C Chain to get investment exposure to AVAX.
