03
USDC arrives on Arbitrum
After confirmation, Cambio settles USDC straight to your destination address on Arbitrum, which confirms in seconds. The receipt card shows the completed payout and the transaction hash.

Cambio Best
Cambio delivers the most here — 0.20% more than ChangeHero, and it stated its network fee, so this figure is after that fee rather than before it. It is also the fastest, at about 5 minutes.

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
USDC on Solana → USDC on Arbitrum
What USDC → USDC actually costs
- You send 100 USDC on Solana.
- You receive 99.42 USDC.
- The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 109.978 USDC.
Why this pair behaves the way it does
Solana finalises almost immediately — 1 confirmation on your USDC is enough — so the deposit leg is never the bottleneck on the way to USDC.
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.
USDC on Solana and USDC on Arbitrum
It is the same USDC on either side, but not the same object: what you send lives in Solana's ledger, and what you receive is issued separately on Arbitrum.
Worth checking before you send: on Solana the token is EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, and the USDC you receive on Arbitrum is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831.
Solana needs a single confirmation before Cambio releases your USDC; on this corridor the wait is the Arbitrum payout, not the deposit.
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 Solana, receive USDC on Arbitrum, no account.
How long USDC on Solana takes to clear
Cambio waits 1 confirmations on Solana, 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.
USDC
Solana SPL
USDC on Solana is issuer-native USDC and the ecosystem's dominant stablecoin. The network confirms in a few seconds, with sub-cent network fees — and it is the dominant stablecoin of the Solana ecosystem.

- Average block time~400 ms slots
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
USDC to USDC on Arbitrum — frequently asked.
Does this route use a bridge?
No. Your USDC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Solana as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDC on Arbitrum as an ordinary Arbitrum transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.
Do I get the same USDC back?
You receive USDC issued on Arbitrum (ERC20 (Arbitrum)) — the same asset, on the network you asked for. Wallets and exchanges treat it as ordinary USDC on that network.
What’s the end-to-end time?
The deposit side on Solana confirms in a few 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.
