Bitcoin to USDC on Ethereum

Settles directly on Ethereum mainnet.

Ethereum mainnet is one of the networks we settle on directly, so no bridge is involved and there is no bridge fee.

Mainnet gas is the expensive part, and it is priced into the quote as the network fee. If you do not specifically need mainnet, receiving on Arbitrum or Base costs noticeably less.

You do not need ETH in the receiving wallet. The claim is relayed for you.

  3. 3The claim converts it to USDC.
  4. 4The USDC lands at your address.

Questions

Why is the fee higher than on other networks?
Ethereum mainnet gas. The network fee in the quote covers it, which is why the same swap delivers less than it would on Arbitrum or Base.
Do I need ETH to receive?
No. The claim is relayed, so you need nothing in the wallet.
Is there a cheaper option?
Yes. Arbitrum settles directly with far lower fees, and Base is a couple of cents over that through the bridge.
