Swap USDC to USDC

Move USDC from Base to OP Mainnet through a provider exchange. Your base balance funds the order and a separate Optimism balance receives it. This is a network change, not a direct wallet transfer; compare the amount returned after the provider’s costs.

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

Address and network checks

Both Base and OP Mainnet use EVM-style addresses. An identical address string cannot confirm the network. Check Base in the sending wallet and OP Mainnet 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 USDC

Select OP Mainnet, often labeled Optimism. Its ETH balance and token balances are separate from those on Ethereum mainnet. 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/Optimism 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.

Does a confirmed USDC deposit mean my USDC has arrived?
