Fixed rate or floating rate for ETH → USDC?

Fixed rate

The USDC amount is locked when you confirm. The provider carries the market risk while your ETH deposit confirms, so the payout matches the quote as long as you send on time and within the quoted limits. Best when you need certainty on the exact amount received.

Floating rate

The swap executes at the market rate when your ETH deposit lands. It can pay out more USDC than a fixed quote, but the final amount can move up or down while the deposit confirms.

What to check before swapping ETH to USDC

Check the ETH deposit network and the USDC payout network before confirming.

Send ETH on the quoted network: Mainnet ETH and L2 ETH are separate routes. Send on exactly the network named in the quote.
Choose the USDC network: USDC exists on several chains. Pick one your wallet supports and paste a matching address.
Compare the USDC payout, not the headline rate: Judge quotes by the estimated USDC you receive and read the fixed or floating terms. A floating estimate can move while your deposit confirms; a fixed quote has an expiry.

Receiving USDC

The provider pays the USDC payout. To move USDC on Ethereum later you'll need ETH for gas.
