How do I swap ETH for USDC?
Choose ETH as the token to pay and USDC as the token to receive. Select the receiving network, enter your amount, review the route and minimum received, then confirm the transaction in your wallet. Keep ETH available for the network fee.
What fees do I pay when I swap ETH?
The total cost includes the route or liquidity-pool fee and the network gas fee. A route with several pools can charge a fee at each step. Price impact changes the exchange rate; slippage sets how much the execution price may move. Compare the final receive amount as well as the fee percentage.
How long does an ETH swap take?
A same-network swap completes after its transaction is included in a block. Ethereum has 12-second slots, while transaction inclusion depends on demand and the priority fee. Cross-chain swaps also require source-chain confirmations and destination-chain settlement.
What is the difference between slippage and price impact?
Price impact is the change your own trade causes in a liquidity pool. Slippage is the price movement between the quote and execution. At 0.5% slippage, a quoted receive amount of 2,991 USDC has a minimum received of 2,976.045 USDC. Network gas is paid separately.
Can I swap ETH for USDT, ARB, BNB or SOL?
Choose USDT for another dollar-denominated stablecoin, or select a token and its receiving network. ARB is a token, while Arbitrum is a network that also uses ETH for gas. Native BNB and SOL use BNB Chain and Solana, so an Ethereum-to-native-token route includes a cross-chain transfer.
Do I need ETH left over for gas?
Yes. On Ethereum, network fees are paid in ETH. Leave enough ETH for the swap transaction and any other wallet transactions you intend to make. The calculator shows the swap amount plus your gas budget as the total ETH needed.
Does swapping ETH require a token approval?
Paying with native ETH generally uses the swap transaction directly. Paying with WETH or another ERC-20 token may require an allowance or a permit for the swap contract. Review the spender and allowance amount before signing.
How is the ETH swap calculator calculated?
The calculator multiplies your ETH amount by the exchange rate you enter, then applies the route fee. Minimum received applies your slippage tolerance to that result. Gas is added to the ETH budget separately. The comparison table uses the same rate, fee and slippage settings for every swap size.
