What to know about USD Coin Optimism and USD Coin Polygon

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.

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 USD Coin Optimism to USD Coin Polygon

  1. Enter the USDC Optimism amount in the calculator (minimum 200 USDC Optimism) and click “Go to exchange”.
  2. Enter your USDC wallet address on the Polygon network and your contact details.
  3. Send exactly the specified amount of USDC Optimism on the Optimism network to the details shown in the order.
  4. Once the transfer is confirmed, USD Coin Polygon is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange USDC Optimism to USDC Polygon

What to check before exchanging USDC 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 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 Polygon PoS as the network.
  • To move USDC on Polygon PoS later, you will need a little POL on the same address.
  • Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
