What to know about USD Coin Optimism and USD Coin ERC20
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…).
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.
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.
How to exchange USD Coin Optimism to USD Coin ERC20
- Enter the USDC Optimism amount in the calculator (minimum 200 USDC Optimism) and click “Go to exchange”.

- Send exactly the specified amount of USDC Optimism on the Optimism network to the details shown in the order.
- Once the transfer is confirmed, USD Coin ERC20 is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.
What to check before exchanging USDC Optimism to USDC ERC20
- The recipient address must be on the Ethereum (ERC20) network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
- The amount sent must be at least 200 USDC Optimism.
- Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
- Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows Ethereum as the network.
- To move USDC on Ethereum later, you will need a little ETH on the same address.
- Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
