About this pair

Dai to USD Coin is the stablecoin switch, useful when you want the other issuer's token or its network without taking any price risk. U.CASH compares live offers across instant-exchange partners and shows the best USDC receive amount before you commit. You send DAI to the deposit address, and USDC lands at the address you specify.

Before you start

The setup is short by design: one wallet capable of holding DAI, one receiving address for the USDC, and nothing else. Read the preview before signing, since it carries the entire trade at a glance, the amounts in and out with the fee and network costs included. The wallet stays yours throughout and signs only the transaction you read on screen.

How the DAI to USDC swap works

Step 01

Enter your DAI amount

Open the pair with both sides preselected and type the amount of Dai you are converting. The quote for USDC updates with it, all-in, before anything is committed.

Step 02

Compare the live offers

The instant-exchange network returns competing offers for the pair and the best net USDC amount is shown. The number you approve is the number that executes; there is no spread behind it.

Step 03

Confirm once

Approve the quote and send your DAI to the displayed address. One confirmation on the way in is all the flow asks; nothing is custodial anywhere in the path.

Step 04

Receive USDC at your address

The USDC settles on-chain to the address you chose, under Follows the host chain (Ethereum ~12, Base ~a few, Polygon ~a few). From confirmation it is an ordinary balance: spend it, hold it, or route it on.

Both sides of this pair live on Stablecoin: the trade settles same-chain, through a quoted partner offer with no bridge leg at all.

Fees and settlement

The platform side of this pair is a flat 0.50%, quoted all-in with the offer before you commit: no spread, no routing cut behind the number. The network side is the gas each chain charges to move, shown per leg in the preview. Settlement is on-chain to the address you choose, Follows the host chain (Ethereum ~12, Base ~a few, Polygon ~a few), and from that point the USDC answers to your keys alone.
