What to know about USD Coin ERC20 and USD Coin Optimism

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.

Sending and receiving USDC

Send USDC only on the network the recipient supports: an Ethereum address and a Polygon address may look identical but the funds end up on different chains. Fees are paid in the native coin of the network (ETH, SOL, POL…).

Ethereum (ERC20) network

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 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.

How to exchange USD Coin ERC20 to USD Coin Optimism

Enter the USDC ERC20 amount in the calculator (minimum 200 USDC ERC20) and click “Go to exchange”.
