Optimism → ERC20

Swap USDC to LINK

Exchange USDC from OP Mainnet into LINK on Ethereum. The provider waits for the USDC deposit before arranging the LINK payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

USDC (Optimism) to Chainlink (ERC20)

You send
USDC (Optimism)USDC · Optimism
You receive
Chainlink (ERC20)LINK · ERC20

Enter your amount to check live availability for USDC on Optimism → LINK 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 LINK

Choose Ethereum mainnet in the wallet. Base, Arbitrum and OP Mainnet use separate balances even when the account address looks identical. Keep ETH available for a normal self-custody LINK transfer on Ethereum. LINK itself does not replace the ETH used to pay that network’s gas fee. This listed LINK/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.

Does a confirmed USDC deposit mean my LINK has arrived?
