How to convert USD Coin to Cardano
- Connect any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby that holds your USDC, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much USDC to swap and the Cardano address that receives the ADA, from a Cardano wallet such as Eternl or Lace.
- Confirm. Once the deposit confirms on Ethereum, the ADA is sent to your address on Cardano; if the swap can't be filled, the USDC is refunded.
About the USDC → ADA swap
USDC is sent on Ethereum and ADA arrives on Cardano, so this swap also changes network. You pay ETH gas on Ethereum for the deposit and nothing on Cardano to receive, though the ADA you receive also pays for transactions there.
Swapping USDC to ADA is how you buy Cardano with US dollars you already hold on-chain: you pay in a stablecoin and receive ADA directly on Cardano.

USDC to ADA: frequently asked questions
What to know before swapping USD Coin for Cardano
ADA is sent on Cardano, so you need a Cardano wallet such as Eternl or Lace. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts ADA on Cardano, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.
NEAR Intents' latest quote estimated about 62 seconds for this route. Slower source chains take longer because the deposit needs more confirmations.
1 USDC ≈ 4.09 ADA at current market prices ($0.9997 per USDC, $0.2443 per ADA).
In our latest measurement a USDC → ADA swap cost 0.23% at $1k and 0.23% at $10k below the market price, and the largest single swap was up to $88k 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 USDC → ADA swap gave up 0.23% 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.
