Optimism → Mainnet

Swap USDC to ADA

Exchange USDC from OP Mainnet into ADA on Cardano. The provider waits for the USDC deposit before arranging the ADA payout on the destination network. Track those as separate transactions rather than using a sending-chain confirmation as proof of receipt.

USDC (Optimism) to Cardano

You send: USDC (Optimism)USDC · Optimism
You receive: CardanoADA · Mainnet

Enter your amount to check live availability for USDC on Optimism → ADA on Mainnet. A provider quote is required before you can create a swap.

Address and network checks

Use the order’s OP Mainnet deposit address for USDC, and your own Cardano receiving address for ADA. Keep the refund address on OP Mainnet; the payout address is not automatically a valid refund destination.

Sending USDC

Select OP Mainnet, often labeled Optimism. Its ETH balance and token balances are separate from those on Ethereum mainnet. Confirm the destination supports the exact USDC version returned by the provider. In particular, do not assume USDC, USDC.e and Binance-Peg representations are interchangeable.

For a standard self-custody transfer on OP Mainnet, allow for network fees in ETH, separately from your USDC balance. Wallet sponsorship and exchange withdrawal charges can differ; check the sending wallet’s final fee.

Receiving ADA

Choose Cardano using the Mainnet option shown in this directory. Follow the selected provider’s exact deposit instructions before sending. Use a Cardano payment/receiving address from your wallet. A staking reward address is used for a different purpose and should not be substituted for a regular receiving address. This listed ADA/Mainnet option has no separate memo field. If your destination requires additional instructions that this form cannot supply, choose another compatible destination before creating an order.

Refund address for this pair

RECEIVING ASSET

ADA is Cardano’s native currency and is used for network fees and staking. Cardano wallets can hold ADA alongside other native assets.

Does a confirmed USDC deposit mean my ADA has arrived?
