| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | DAI on Ethereum | The same stablecoin; switching between USDT and USDC needs a separate swap |
| Wallet connection and approvals | Not needed: you send coins to the order address | Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions |
| Coins for fees on Ethereum | Not needed to receive | Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge |
| Time | After the Polygon PoS confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds during the transfer | Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check) | The bridge smart contract or its validators |

What to know about USD Coin and Dai
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…).
Dai
Dai (DAI) is a decentralized dollar stablecoin created by the Maker protocol (MakerDAO) in 2017 and now part of the Sky ecosystem. Unlike USDT or USDC, DAI is not issued against bank deposits: it is created by users who lock crypto collateral in smart contracts.
How Dai works
To mint DAI, a user deposits more collateral than the value of the DAI received. If the collateral falls in value, the position is liquidated automatically, which keeps DAI backed. Interest rates set by governance help hold the price near one dollar.
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 to Dai
- Enter the USDC Polygon amount in the calculator (minimum 200 USDC Polygon) and click “Go to exchange”.
- Enter your DAI wallet address on the Dai network and your contact details.
- Send exactly the specified amount of USDC Polygon on the Polygon network to the details shown in the order.
- Once the transfer is confirmed, Dai is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.
What to check before exchanging USDC Polygon to DAI
- The recipient address must be on the Dai network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
- The amount sent must be at least 200 USDC Polygon.
- 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 DAI 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.
