ADA to USDC FAQ
Do I need to connect a Cardano wallet?
No. The exchange issues a deposit address on Cardano and you send ADA to it from Lace, Eternl, Yoroi, Ledger or an exchange withdrawal. Nothing is signed in the browser.
How long does ADA to USDC on Base take?
Usually a few minutes from the moment your ADA deposit confirms. The quote shows an ETA for this exact route before you send anything.
Which Base address can receive the USDC?
Any Base address, a standard 0x… EVM address. Base uses the same 0x address as Ethereum, so an existing EVM wallet already works.
Do I need ETH on Base to receive USDC?
No. Receiving a token costs the recipient nothing. You only need ETH later, when you move the USDC out of that address.
What happens if the swap fails after I send ADA?
You enter a Cardano refund address on the order form before the deposit address is issued. If the route cannot complete, your ADA goes back there and the order page shows the refund.
