Good to know
- Network fee: paid in ETH; on Ethereum it's usually a few dollars, more when the network is busy.
- Selling native ETH needs one on-chain transaction, so keep a little ETH unsent for the network fee.
- For small amounts, swapping on Base or Arbitrum costs far less. See the cheapest network for USDC.
- Orders are settled in batches at one price, so sandwich bots can't front-run you. See how sandwich attacks work.
Questions
What does it cost to swap ETH to USDC on Ethereum?
The network cost (usually a few dollars, more when the network is busy) and our 0.5% service fee, both included in the quote you see before signing.
Why is my swap protected from MEV?
You sign an order instead of sending a public swap. Orders are settled together at one price by competing solvers, so bots have nothing to sandwich.
Do I need an account?
No. Connect your own wallet; there's no sign-up and we never hold your funds.
What if the swap doesn't fill?
If the price moves past your limit, a signed order simply expires and you keep your tokens.
