How to convert Ethereum to USDCx on Aleo

The widget above is already set to ETH on Ethereum → USDCx on Aleo. The whole swap runs in one flow through NEAR Intents:

Step 1: Choose how to pay
Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your ETH. Or turn on Swap from external wallet to get a deposit address and QR code you can pay from any wallet or exchange; you then add an address on Ethereum for refunds.

Step 2: Enter the amount and where to receive
Type how much ETH to swap and the Aleo address that receives the USDCx, from an Aleo wallet such as Shield or FoxWallet. The widget shows how much USDCx you will receive, fees included, before you confirm.

Step 3: Confirm and send
Approve the transfer in your wallet, or send the amount to the deposit address. Once it confirms on Ethereum, solvers fill the swap and the USDCx is sent to your address on Aleo. If the swap can't be filled, your ETH is refunded.

Prefer to keep a balance inside NEAR Intents? The Deposit tab adds ETH to it, Swap trades within it, and Withdraw sends tokens out to their own networks.

⚠ Important: receive on an address you control. If you send the USDCx to an exchange instead, check that it accepts USDCx on Aleo: some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.

About the ETH → USDCx swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your ETH leaves Ethereum and USDCx arrives on Aleo. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is USDCx on Aleo, ready to use there with no second bridging step.

Swapping ETH to USDCx converts a volatile asset into a dollar-pegged stablecoin, a common way to lock in a price or step out of market swings without off-ramping to a bank account.

About Ethereum and USDCx on Aleo

What is Ethereum (ETH)?

Ether (ETH) powers Ethereum, a programmable blockchain proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2013 and launched in July 2015 by a group of co-founders. Rather than acting only as money, Ethereum runs smart contracts, which let developers deploy applications that execute exactly as written.

How Ethereum works

Since the Merge in September 2022, Ethereum has been secured by Proof of Stake: validators lock up ETH, propose and attest to blocks, and can lose part of their stake for misbehaviour. Every operation on the network costs gas, paid in ETH: the base fee is burned, while validators receive a priority fee for including transactions.

What ETH is used for

ETH pays for transaction fees and is widely used as collateral in decentralized finance, from lending protocols to decentralized exchanges. Holders also stake it to help secure the network and earn protocol rewards.

ETH supply

Ether has no fixed maximum supply. New ETH is issued to validators, while the base fee of every transaction is burned under EIP-1559, so net supply can rise or fall depending on network activity.

Before you swap ETH

Make sure your withdrawal goes to an address on Ethereum mainnet and not to a layer-2 or another EVM network that uses the same address format. Gas prices on Ethereum fluctuate with demand, which can affect the cost of moving ETH in or out.

What is USDCx on Aleo (USDCx)?

USDCx is a dollar stablecoin on Aleo, the zero-knowledge layer-1 network, backed one-for-one by USDC held in Circle xReserve. It is not native USDC: Circle issues USDC, while USDCx is a USDC-backed token that Aleo launched using xReserve. It went live on testnet in December 2025 and on mainnet in January 2026.

How USDCx on Aleo works

To mint, a user deposits USDC into the xReserve contract on Ethereum or Arc; Circle attests the deposit and the Aleo bridge program mints USDCx. Burning USDCx on Aleo releases USDC on those chains. On Aleo, sender, receiver and amount are encrypted by default, but private transfers also create a compliance record for a designated address, and a freeze list blocks sanctioned addresses.

What USDCx is used for

Aleo and Circle position USDCx for payroll, vendor payments, remittances, aid distribution and DeFi, where people want dollar settlement without publishing balances and counterparties. Launch partners included the payroll provider Toku.

USDCx supply

There is no fixed cap. Supply rises when USDC is locked in xReserve and falls when USDCx is burned to withdraw it, keeping a 1:1 link with the USDC in reserve.

Before you swap USDCx

USDCx is delivered on Aleo, so you need an Aleo wallet such as Shield and a little ALEO for fees. Its privacy features only apply on Aleo; USDCx on Movement is a separate token. It targets the US dollar, so swaps from USDC or USDT should price close to parity.
