How to convert Chainlink to USD Coin
- Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your LINK, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much LINK to swap and the Ethereum address that receives the USDC, from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
- Confirm. Once the deposit confirms on Ethereum, the USDC is sent to your address on Ethereum; if the swap can't be filled, the LINK is refunded.
About the LINK → USDC swap
LINK and USDC both live on Ethereum, so you pay and receive on the same network. NEAR Intents still routes the trade through its solver network, which means you get a competitive quote without picking a DEX or an aggregator yourself.
Swapping LINK to USDC 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.

LINK to USDC: frequently asked questions
What to know before swapping Chainlink for USD Coin
USDC is sent on Ethereum, so you need any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts USDC on Ethereum, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.
The swap itself settles in seconds once your LINK deposit is confirmed on Ethereum. Total time depends mostly on how many confirmations Ethereum needs for the deposit, plus the withdrawal to Ethereum.
1 LINK ≈ 12.79 USDC at current market prices ($12.79 per LINK, $0.9997 per USDC).
In our latest measurement a LINK → USDC swap cost 0.16% at $1k and 0.20% at $10k below the market price, and the largest single swap was up to $12k with under 1% price impact. That is price impact only: the app fee, withdrawal fee and network gas come on top, and the widget's quote includes all but the gas.
No. Price impact is how far below the market price your quote is because of its size: a bigger swap goes deeper into solvers' liquidity. It is already in the amount the widget shows; a $10k LINK → USDC swap gave up 0.20% in our latest measurement. Slippage is how much the result may still move between that quote and the moment the swap settles. The widget accepts up to 1% by default (Max slippage in its settings): the minimum you receive is the quote minus 1%, and if solvers can't deliver at least that, the swap doesn't happen and your funds are refunded.
