Swap ATOM to USDC

Exchange ATOM from Cosmos Hub into USDC on Base. The provider waits for the ATOM deposit before arranging the USDC payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

Cosmos (Mainnet) to USDC (Base)

You send

Enter your amount to check live availability for ATOM on Mainnet → USDC on base. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s Cosmos Hub deposit address for ATOM, and your own Base receiving address for USDC. Keep the refund address on Cosmos Hub; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending ATOM

Choose Cosmos Hub using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use the Cosmos Hub ATOM network specified by the order. An ATOM representation reached through IBC on another chain is not automatically a compatible deposit. Copy any memo or extra ID included with the provider’s deposit address.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Cosmos Hub, allow for network fees in ATOM in addition to the amount you send. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving USDC

Switch the wallet to Base. ETH on Ethereum mainnet cannot pay the normal gas fee for a separate token transfer on Base. Confirm the destination supports the exact USDC version returned by the provider. In particular, do not assume USDC, USDC.e and Binance-Peg representations are interchangeable. This listed USDC/base option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

Enter a refund address that accepts ATOM on Mainnet. This listed asset has an extra-ID field; include the refund memo or extra ID, or explicitly enter 0 when your wallet requires none.

Does a confirmed ATOM deposit mean my USDC has arrived?
