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

Address and network checks

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

Sending USDT

Select Arbitrum One, not Ethereum mainnet or Arbitrum Nova. The receiving service must support this token on Arbitrum One. Match the USDT network and token supported by the receiving service. A USDT balance on one chain does not automatically appear on another, and a dollar reference does not guarantee the quoted exchange value.

For a standard self-custody transfer on Arbitrum One, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your USDT balance. 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.

USDC on Base

Does a confirmed USDT deposit mean my USDC has arrived?
