DAI to USD Coin (USDC): rate by network
Compare the DAI to USDC rate on different networks and choose where to receive USDC: rate, minimum, network fee and speed.
Rate updated: Sep 17, 2026, 12:29
The best rate right now is on Solana: 1 DAI = 1.0005 USDC. The calculator uses this network.
In which network to receive USDC
| Network | Rate | Minimum | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solana best rate | 1 DAI = 1.0005 USDC SOL | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.0005 | fast |
| Ethereum (ERC20) | 1 DAI = 0.9994 USDC ERC20 | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.032 | moderate |
| Optimism | 1 DAI = 0.99939 USDC Optimism | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.00017 | fast |
| Polygon | 1 DAI = 0.99939 USDC Polygon | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.0017 | fast |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 1 DAI = 0.99939 USDC BEP20 | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.0024 | fast |
| Arbitrum One | 1 DAI = 0.99939 USDC Arbitrum | 200 DAI | ≈ $0.0032 | fast |
Fee and speed levels are relative and depend on network load.
USDC networks: what is the difference
USD Coin is issued on several blockchains. It is the same USDC, but a transfer arrives only if the address and the network match.
Solana
Tokens on Solana follow the SPL standard. Transfers confirm in seconds with fees of a fraction of a cent paid in SOL; receiving a new token for the first time requires a small SOL deposit.
Ethereum (ERC20)
ERC20 is the token standard on Ethereum. It is supported by almost every wallet and exchange, but the fee (gas) is paid in ETH and grows when the network is busy.
Optimism
Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.
Polygon
Polygon PoS is an Ethereum-compatible network with addresses in the same 0x format. Fees are paid in POL and usually cost a fraction of a cent.
BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)
BEP20 is the token standard on BNB Smart Chain, an Ethereum-compatible network. Addresses look like Ethereum addresses, and fees are paid in BNB and are usually low.
Arbitrum One
Arbitrum One is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format, fees are paid in ETH and are much lower than on the Ethereum mainnet.
