USD Coin

Before swapping USDC, confirm that the network you send on matches what your receiving wallet or platform supports — sending USDC on Base to an address expecting Ethereum-native USDC, for example, can result in funds that are difficult to recover. USDC is available on a wide range of networks on Zest, including Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche C-Chain, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Celo, Sui, Aptos, zkSync, Sei, and Algorand; each network has its own address format, so double-check the address before confirming. If you are sending USDC on the Algorand network, you must include an Extra ID (also called a memo or note field) when the destination requires one — omitting it on platforms that need it can cause delays or lost funds. Settlement speed varies by network, and congestion on any given chain can affect how quickly your swap completes. Zest shows the rate and destination amount before you confirm, so review those details carefully on the confirmation screen.
