Swap SOL to USDC

Exchange SOL from Solana into USDC on Base. The provider waits for the SOL 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.

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

Address and network checks

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

Sending SOL

Choose Solana using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Select native SOL for this entry. A token balance or wrapped SOL held by an application should not be sent as a replacement for the order’s native SOL deposit.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Solana, allow for network fees in SOL 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 SOL on Mainnet. The refund is sent in SOL on Mainnet; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.

SENDING ASSET

Solana on Solana

SOL is the native asset used for transaction fees and staking on Solana. Tokens such as USDC or PYUSD on Solana are separate assets even when they share the same wallet.

USDC on Base

USDC is Circle’s dollar-referenced stablecoin. Native USDC and bridged representations can coexist, so a familiar ticker alone is not enough to identify a deposit asset.

Does a confirmed SOL deposit mean my USDC has arrived?
