Network fee — a stated amount is what the exchange returned, and the figure shown is after it. “included” means the exchange’s own price already contains its network fee, not itemised. “not stated” means its API returned no fee, so that amount is a ceiling rather than a promise.
Every row is what that exchange would pay for this exact size, quoted live from its own API at the time shown and ranked by what lands in your wallet. The bar is each row’s all-in cost against the market rate at that moment, drawn to one scale — ours included.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS
ETH on Arbitrum → USDC on Arbitrum

- You send 0.1 ETH on Arbitrum.
- You receive 254.717618 USDC.
- The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 0.066 ETH.
Why this pair behaves the way it does
Arbitrum produces blocks several times a second, so the 20 confirmations Cambio waits for on your ETH pass almost immediately and the USDC payout is what you are actually waiting on.
USDC on Arbitrum is a token, so sending it also needs Arbitrum's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDC side is capped by what the wallet holds rather than by a policy number.
Floor on Arbitrum: 0.35%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
USDC on Arbitrum carries 6 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.

Cambio waits 20 confirmations on Arbitrum, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~5 min.

The two coins
What you’re actually swapping.
Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.
ETH
Arbitrum native
ETH is the same ETH, living on Ethereum's leading rollup. Sending ETH is an ordinary native transfer — no token approval, no contract interaction. Arbitrum confirms in seconds, and gas on Arbitrum is paid in ETH too — just far less of it.
- NetworkArbitrum
- Confirmations needed20
- Average block timesub-second blocks
USDC
Arbitrum ERC20 (Arbitrum)
USDC on Arbitrum is issuer-native USDC (not a bridged wrapper). The network confirms in seconds, with L2 fees — a fraction of Ethereum L1 gas — and Circle mints it directly on Arbitrum rather than bridging it over.

Questions
ETH to USDC on Arbitrum — frequently asked.
What’s the end-to-end time?
The deposit side on Arbitrum confirms in seconds; the payout on Arbitrum confirms in seconds. The status card tracks every stage live — detection, confirmation, payout — so you are never guessing which side you are waiting on.
Do I need to verify my identity?
No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists before a deposit address is issued; in line with applicable law and our risk-based AML policy, identity verification may be requested where screening flags elevated risk.
What is the maximum I can swap?
There is no fixed per-swap cap. The most you can send on this pair is shown in the table above and recalculated on every quote, so it always reflects what we can settle right now.
Can I receive the USDC into an exchange account?
Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDC and make sure the network is Arbitrum (ERC20 (Arbitrum)), then paste that deposit address into the Cambio composer as your destination. If the network on the exchange side doesn’t match, don’t send — ask the AI and it will walk you through it.
What makes Cambio better on this route?
Every quote ships with a live comparison against the biggest instant exchanges — including when we lose — and the number on the card is the number that settles. Pricing is chain-aware, the route has no bridge exposure, and screening happens before your deposit, never after.
What happens if I pick the wrong network?
The composer validates your destination address against Arbitrum before any deposit address is issued — a mismatched address family stops at the form. And if you are unsure which network your wallet or exchange uses, ask the AI first; sorting exactly this out is what it is for.
