Optimism → ERC20

Swap USDC to AAVE

Exchange USDC from OP Mainnet into AAVE on Ethereum. The provider waits for the USDC deposit before arranging the AAVE 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 USDC on Optimism → AAVE on ERC20. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

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

Sending 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.

For a standard self-custody transfer on OP Mainnet, 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 AAVE

Choose Ethereum mainnet in the wallet. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet use separate balances even when the account address looks identical. Use liquid AAVE tokens for the deposit. A lending receipt, staked position or aToken in your wallet is not automatically the AAVE token required by this order. This listed AAVE/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.

What should I check before receiving AAVE on Ethereum?

Does a confirmed USDC deposit mean my AAVE has arrived?

No. Deposit confirmation on OP Mainnet, provider processing and payout on Ethereum are separate steps. Use Track swap to see the order status, then check the AAVE balance on the receiving network. A live quote or historical route check does not guarantee completion time.
