How the swap works
-
Type the ETH amount and paste your USD Coin payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, USDC is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Confirmations on Optimism are usually fast.
- Send ETH on Native on Optimism only — not on another L1 or L2 unless your order says otherwise.
- Keep enough native gas in your wallet to cover network fees.
- If USDC has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Ethereum on Optimism
Credit ETH only on Native on Optimism. A transfer on any other chain will not show up on this order.
Deposit checklist
Open a wallet that can send on Native on Optimism.
The wallet network must match the deposit network printed on the order.
USD Coin — issued dollar stablecoin
USDC on Ethereum mainnet is a widely trusted stablecoin for DeFi and transfers — always use ERC-20 on Ethereum unless stated otherwise.
USDC not credited?
Verify your wallet is on Ethereum mainnet and the token contract matches official USDC on Ethereum.
When will USDC arrive?
ERC-20 USDC payouts follow Ethereum block times — usually minutes after your deposit confirms.
- Confirm your wallet is set to Ethereum mainnet, not Polygon, Base, or another L2.
- Add the official USDC token contract in your wallet if the balance does not appear automatically.
- Check the payout tx hash on Etherscan if your wallet shows no incoming transfer.
Why traders swap into USDC
USDC is widely used in DeFi and on exchanges that prefer a regulated dollar stablecoin.
On Ethereum mainnet it pairs naturally with ETH gas and most ERC-20 trading pairs.

Frequently asked questions
Does ETH to USDC require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Ethereum to USD Coin.
How long until USDC arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Native on Optimism deposit confirmations and ERC-20 on Ethereum payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ETH or USDC for me?
No. You send ETH from a wallet you control and USDC is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ETH on the wrong chain?
Use Native on Optimism exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
