Swap SOL to USDC
This is the reverse of USDC→SOL: you send SOL and receive USDC on Solana (USDC-SPL) to your Solana address. The key is simple: use a Solana address (Base58) and keep everything on the Solana network for a clean, fast conversion.
Fast facts (Solana-specific, practical)
Addresses: what to paste (and why it matters)
You will receive USDC on Solana to a standard Solana wallet address (Base58), for example 9xQeWv….
Solana addresses are not checksummed, so copy/paste from your wallet is the safest method.
USDC exists on many networks (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and more). This page delivers USDC-SPL (Solana). That’s ideal for Solana DeFi, fast transfers, and low on-chain costs.

Swap SOL → USDC in 3 steps
- 1) Select SOL → USDC and enter your amount
The interface shows your quote before you confirm. The SOL/USDC chart above is a helpful market reference. - 2) Paste your Solana address
Use your Solana wallet address (Base58). This is where you’ll receive USDC-SPL. - 3) Send SOL to the deposit address shown in your order
After creating the order, you’ll receive a SOL deposit address. Send the exact amount of SOL requested. Once confirmed and processed, your USDC is delivered automatically.
Fees & timing (what experienced users actually watch)
In practice, users care about three things: (1) the quote they lock in, (2) the chain fee they pay to send the deposit, and (3) how fast the on-chain transfer confirms. On Solana, the base fee is 0.000005 SOL per signature. During peak activity, priority fees may be used to keep swaps snappy.
- Deposit fee (Solana): paid in SOL. Base fee is tiny; priority fee can be added in busy periods.
- Swap fee: included in the quote shown before confirming your order.
- Completion time: usually quick, but depends on network load and processing steps inside the order flow.
FAQ — SOL to USDC (detailed)
What does the SOL → USDC conversion rate mean?
It’s the quote that determines how many USDC you receive for your SOL at that moment. Markets often display SOL/USDC directly (USDC per 1 SOL). Your final quote includes the service fee and any network-related costs shown before you confirm.
Which USDC do I receive?
You receive USDC on Solana (USDC-SPL). This is the version used across the Solana ecosystem, including DeFi and on-chain transfers.
What does a valid Solana address look like?
Solana addresses are Base58 strings, typically 32–44 characters (example: 9xQeWv…).
Solana addresses are not checksummed, so a careful copy/paste from your wallet is best.
How much are Solana fees?
Solana’s base transaction cost is 5,000 lamports per included signature, which equals 0.000005 SOL. Some transactions may also include a priority fee during congestion, improving confirmation speed.
How long does a SOL → USDC swap take?
Many swaps feel near-instant, but real completion time depends on network activity and the required confirmation/processing steps for the order. If the network is busy, priority fees can help keep delivery fast.
What is the minimum SOL amount I can swap?
Minimums depend on routing and current network conditions. You’ll see the exact minimum and final quote directly in the swap interface before confirming.
Do I need KYC or an ID to swap SOL to USDC?
No. This is a crypto-to-crypto swap flow designed to work without KYC.
What should I check if I don’t see USDC yet?
Confirm your SOL deposit transaction is present on a Solana explorer and has reached the deposit address shown in your order. If you’re checking your wallet, verify you’re viewing USDC on Solana (USDC-SPL) in the same Solana wallet.
