How to convert USD Coin to GNEAR

The widget above is already set to USDC on Ethereum → GNEAR on NEAR. 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 USDC. 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 USDC to swap and the NEAR address that receives the GNEAR, from a NEAR wallet such as NEAR Mobile or Meteor. The widget shows how much GNEAR 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 GNEAR is sent to your address on NEAR. If the swap can't be filled, your USDC is refunded.

Prefer to keep a balance inside NEAR Intents? The Deposit tab adds USDC 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 GNEAR to an exchange instead, check that it accepts GNEAR on NEAR: some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.

About the USDC → GNEAR swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your USDC leaves Ethereum and GNEAR arrives on NEAR. 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 GNEAR on NEAR, ready to use there with no second bridging step.

Swapping USDC to GNEAR is how you buy GNEAR with US dollars you already hold on-chain: you pay in a stablecoin and receive GNEAR directly on NEAR.

About USD Coin and GNEAR

What is USD Coin (USDC)?

USDC is a US dollar stablecoin issued by Circle, first launched in September 2018 through the Centre consortium that Circle founded with Coinbase. Circle now manages the token directly, and USDC is issued natively on a range of blockchains, with Ethereum among the largest.

How USD Coin works

Each USDC is meant to be redeemable for one dollar, and Circle mints or burns tokens as institutional customers deposit or withdraw funds. Reserves are held in cash and short-dated US government obligations, largely through a dedicated fund, and Circle publishes regular reports on their composition.

What USDC is used for

USDC is widely used for settlement and payments, both in crypto markets and in business transfers that benefit from moving dollars at any hour. In decentralized finance it serves as a common unit for lending, liquidity pools and trading.

USDC supply

Supply is elastic: USDC is created when dollars are deposited and destroyed when it is redeemed. Circle aims to keep reserves equal to or greater than the amount of USDC in circulation.

Before you swap USDC

The widget defaults to USDC on Ethereum, but the same token also lives on Solana, NEAR, Base and other chains, so select the network your wallet actually uses. Beware of bridged versions with similar names, which are not the same as natively issued USDC.

What is GNEAR (GNEAR)?

GNEAR launched on 15 October 2024 on meme.cooking, the NEAR meme launchpad, as meme #229. Its whole pitch is to be cheerful: 'Whether you're trading, staking, or just sipping your coffee, $GNEAR is here to brighten your day.' On X, the @GnearAi account speaks as 'your buddy Gnear'. The token metadata on chain uses the lowercase name gnear.

How GNEAR works

GNEAR is a plain NEP-141 token with no mint function. Its meme.cooking round reached the 500 NEAR hard cap within an hour and launched straight away, with about half the tokens going to depositors and half into a Rhea Finance pool whose LP shares are locked.

What GNEAR is used for

It is traded as a NEAR community meme. No utility, roadmap or product has been published.

GNEAR supply

A fixed 1 billion GNEAR were minted at launch, with no team allocation.

Before you swap GNEAR

Check the contract gnear-229.meme-cooking.near, since explorers show the ticker in lowercase. Liquidity sits in a small Rhea pool, so prices move quickly and large orders face heavy price impact.
