01
Type the swap in plain words
Describe the swap in one sentence. The AI resolves both networks, quotes a live rate, and shows how that rate stacks up against the biggest exchanges before you commit to anything.
Swap USDC (Arbitrum) to ETH (Ethereum). Better.
A conversation instead of a form: quote it, compare it live, execute it. Your ETH settles directly on Ethereum.

How it works
Swap USDC to ETH in three steps.
No accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your USDC, and the ETH lands in your wallet in under a minute.
02
Make one Arbitrum deposit
Cambio generates a one-time deposit address on Arbitrum. Send your USDC there — Arbitrum confirms in seconds, and the card tracks every confirmation in real time.
03
Receive ETH on Ethereum
After confirmation, Cambio settles ETH straight to your destination address on Ethereum, which confirms in well under a minute. The receipt card shows the completed payout and the transaction hash.

ChangeNOW Best
ChangeNOW edges it — the top few are within 0.00% of each other, so this is close, but it has not stated its network fee, so that figure is a ceiling rather than a promise. Cambio is 0.00% behind on paper and is one of the few whose number we can confirm.

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.
Cambio was behind the best rate at this check — and we show it anyway. Every quote is compared live, and the number on the card is the number that settles.
Every row is a live quote from that exchange’s own API at the time shown, for this exact size, as it would pay out through Cambio. Exchange names belong to their owners.

Why this pair behaves the way it does
Arbitrum produces blocks several times a second, so the 20 confirmations Cambio waits for on your USDC pass almost immediately and the ETH payout is what you are actually waiting on.
ETH is Ethereum's own coin; the payout pays its cost from the amount itself.
Floor on Ethereum: 0.455%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
ETH on Ethereum carries 18 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.
How long USDC on Arbitrum takes to clear

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.
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.

- Confirmations needed20
- Average block timesub-second blocks
ETH
Ethereum native
ETH is the gas coin and settlement asset of Ethereum. Sending ETH is an ordinary native transfer — no token approval, no contract interaction. Ethereum confirms in well under a minute, and you need ETH on L1 to move ERC20 tokens there.

Questions
USDC to ETH on Ethereum — frequently asked.
Is this a bridge swap?
No. Your USDC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Arbitrum as an ordinary transfer, and you receive ETH on Ethereum as an ordinary Ethereum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.
What’s the end-to-end time?
The deposit side on Arbitrum confirms in seconds; the payout on Ethereum confirms in well under a minute. 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 ETH into an exchange account?
Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick ETH and make sure the network is Ethereum, 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.
Why use Cambio for this pair?
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.
