How it works

Swap USDC to USDC in three steps.

No accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your USDC, and the USDC lands in your wallet in under a minute.

A painted vessel of intent — the moment the AI receives your swap request.
01
Type the swap in plain words

Type "swap 100 USDC to USDC on Ethereum" into the composer. The AI parses your intent, confirms Arbitrum as the source and Ethereum as the destination, and returns a live quote with the full competitor comparison alongside it.

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 USDC on Ethereum

Once your deposit confirms, the payout goes out to your Ethereum address directly — Ethereum confirms in well under a minute. No bridge hop, no wrapped assets, no waiting on a second protocol.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS

USDC on Arbitrum → USDC on Ethereum

What USDC → USDC actually costs

  • You send 100 USDC on Arbitrum.
  • You receive 98.82 USDC.
  • The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 109.978 USDC.

Why this pair behaves the way it does

Arbitrum produces blocks several times a second, so the confirmations Cambio waits for on your USDC pass almost immediately and the USDC payout is what you are actually waiting on.

USDC on Arbitrum and USDC on Ethereum

It is the same USDC on either side, but not the same object: what you send lives in Arbitrum's ledger, and what you receive is issued separately on Ethereum.

People move a dollar token between chains to reach something only one side has: a protocol, an exchange deposit, or a cheaper onward transfer. Cambio does it as a swap — send USDC on Arbitrum, receive USDC on Ethereum, no account.

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.

USDC
Ethereum ERC20

USDC on Ethereum is the canonical, issuer-native USDC. The network confirms in well under a minute, with gas is the price of L1 — it rises when the chain is busy — and this is the issuer-native home of USDC.

Questions

USDC to USDC on Ethereum — frequently asked.

Does this route use a bridge?

No. Your USDC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Arbitrum as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDC on Ethereum as an ordinary Ethereum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.

Do I get the same USDC back?

You receive USDC issued on Ethereum (ERC20) — the same asset, on the network you asked for. Wallets and exchanges treat it as ordinary USDC on that network.

How long does the swap take?

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 USDC into an exchange account?

Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDC and make sure the network is Ethereum (ERC20), 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.
