About this pair

USDC to LINK is the direct trade from dollars into Chainlink, routed across every major Ethereum pool for the best price. Your wallet signs one transaction and LINK settles to the same address; the rate and the fee are shown before you sign.

Before you start

Two things and the pair is ready. A wallet holding your USDC with a little USDC (6 decimals) for the approval and gas, and the LINK address you want the output delivered to, raw string or web3 name where your wallet resolves one. The preview shows the whole trade before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network costs. Keys never leave your side at any point in the flow.

How the USDC to LINK swap works

Step 01

Open the USDC to LINK pair

Both sides are preselected. Enter the amount of USD Coin to convert and the router quotes across every liquidity source that lists the pair.

Step 02

Approve once

A one-time token approval lets the router spend exactly the USDC amount of this swap, and nothing more. Approvals are per-token, so later swaps reuse it.

Step 03

Sign one transaction

The aggregated route executes in a single signed transaction: all-or-nothing, no partial fills, no window where value sits in someone else's contract.

Step 04

Hold the settled LINK

Output lands at your own address with Follows Ethereum (~12 confirmations). The same keys that sent the USDC hold the LINK; no platform wallet ever does.

Both sides of this pair live on EVM: the trade settles same-chain, routed entirely through on-chain liquidity with no bridge in the path.

Fees and settlement

Count it on one hand: 0.50% flat to the platform, stated in the quote with nothing behind it, plus each chain's gas for its leg of the trip. The route runs non-custodial end to end, so when the LINK settles Follows Ethereum (~12 confirmations) at your address, it is yours in the fullest sense: no custodian, no withdrawal queue, no platform in the path.
