Your USDC receiving address on the network you choose (e.g., SPL or ERC20)
A tiny amount of SOL for network fees

How to convert SOL to USDC (step‑by‑step)

Open the Swapcherry widget and select SOL → USDC.
Choose your USDC network (SPL, ERC20, TRC20, or an L2).
Paste your USDC address and review the live quote.
Confirm to get a one‑time SOL deposit address.
Send the exact SOL amount within the quote window.
After confirmations, receive USDC automatically to your wallet.

Picking the right USDC network

Choose based on fees, speed, and where you’ll use USDC next:

SPL (Solana): Ultra‑low fees, very fast. Addresses are Base58 (no 0x).
ERC20 (Ethereum): Highest DeFi compatibility; gas fees vary with congestion. Addresses start with 0x….
TRC20 (Tron): Low fees and quick settlement. Addresses start with T….
L2s (Arbitrum/Optimism/Base): Low gas and EVM dApps. Addresses start with 0x….

Solana‑specific notes

Native SOL transfers don’t require a memo.
Fees are tiny; finalization is typically rapid.
Use a reputable explorer (Solscan/SolanaFM) to verify the SOL leg if needed.

Fees, confirmations, and timing

Fees: You’ll see service and network fees up front. SOL fees are minimal; USDC payout fees depend on the destination network.
Confirmations: Payout begins after SOL confirmations; then USDC is broadcast on the destination chain.
Timing: Usually fast end‑to‑end, especially when using SPL, TRC20, or L2 networks.

Quotes, slippage, and expirations

Quotes reflect current liquidity and can change during volatility.
For fixed quotes, send within the timer; otherwise create a fresh quote.
Small under/overpayments may auto‑recalculate; larger deltas can pause or refund.

Fixed vs floating rate

Fixed: Locks your USDC amount for a short window—ideal when you need an exact amount.
Floating: Executes at market when your SOL arrives—more flexible timing, amount may vary slightly.

Privacy checklist

Use a fresh address for each swap.
Avoid public labeling of your addresses.
Consider splitting very large swaps into multiple smaller ones.
Keep wallets updated for accurate fees and broadcasting.

Worked example

You hold 600 SOL and want USDC (SPL) to a new Phantom address.
Fixed quote: Send exactly 600.0000 SOL within the window to receive the quoted USDC.
Floating quote: Send 600.0000 SOL; final USDC reflects the market on execution.

Troubleshooting

USDC hasn’t arrived: Confirm SOL finalization, then check the destination network’s explorer.
Wrong network/address: Ensure the USDC network you selected matches the address format (SPL vs ERC20 vs TRC20 vs L2).
Expired quote: Create a fresh quote and resend within the timer.
