What to know about Ethereum and USD Coin
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin and launched in 2015. Its native coin, ETH, pays for computation on the network. Thousands of tokens, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, lending protocols and NFT collections run on Ethereum.
Sending and receiving ETH
Ethereum addresses start with 0x and are the same format on BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon — so always check which network the recipient expects. The fee (gas) is paid in ETH and depends on network load; a transfer is usually confirmed within a few minutes.
USD Coin (USDC)
USD Coin (USDC) is a dollar stablecoin issued by Circle since 2018. Each token is backed by reserves held in cash and short-term US Treasuries, and the reserve composition is regularly reported by the issuer.
Risks and things to know
USDC depends on the issuer and its banking partners, and the issuer can block tokens on specific addresses. In March 2023 USDC briefly traded below one dollar when part of the reserves was held at a failed US bank.
Optimism network
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 network
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.
How to exchange Ethereum to USD Coin
- Enter the ETH Optimism amount in the calculator (minimum 0.0724887 ETH Optimism) and click “Go to exchange”.
- Enter your USDC wallet address on the Polygon network and your contact details.
- Send exactly the specified amount of ETH Optimism on the Optimism network to the details shown in the order.
- Once the transfer is confirmed, USD Coin is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.
What to check before exchanging ETH Optimism to USDC Polygon
- The recipient address must be on the Polygon network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
- The amount sent must be at least 0.0724887 ETH Optimism.
- Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
