Swap USDC to DAI

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

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

Address and network checks

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

Sending 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.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Base, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your USDC balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving 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. This listed DAI/ERC20 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 USDC on base. The refund is sent in USDC on base; verify that your refund wallet supports this exact asset and network.
