Swap DAI to USDC

Exchange DAI on Ethereum for USDC on Base. Both assets reference USD, but they are separate tokens with different designs and liquidity. A quote can return more or less than one USDC per DAI.

Dai (ERC20) to USDC (Base)

You send: Dai (ERC20)DAI · ERC20
You receive: USDC (Base)USDC · base

Enter your amount to check live availability for DAI on ERC20 → USDC on base. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Both Ethereum and Base use EVM-style addresses. An identical address string cannot confirm the network. Check Ethereum in the sending wallet and Base in the receiving wallet separately.

Sending DAI

Choose Ethereum mainnet in the wallet. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet use separate balances even when the account address looks identical. DAI and USDS have separate token identities. Send DAI for a DAI order; holding or using an upgraded token does not make it interchangeable with this deposit asset.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Ethereum, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your DAI balance. 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

Does a confirmed DAI deposit mean my USDC has arrived?
