Step 1
Enter the amount of USDC (Arbitrum One)
Choose USDC (Arbitrum One) and USDC (Base) on the swap card and type how much USDC (Arbitrum One) you want to send. The card shows how much USDC (Base) you get, with every swap fee already taken out.

Paste the address of your USDC (Base) wallet on the Base network, with the memo if your exchange shows one. Check your swap and tap “Create swap”.

Questions about USDC (Arbitrum One) to USDC (Base)

Which network should I use for USDC?

Use the same network as your wallet. If you receive USDC, it's the network your wallet or exchange shows on its Receive screen. If you send it, it's the network your USDC is on now. USDC is available on: Arbitrum One, Ethereum (ERC-20), Arc, BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Tron (TRC-20), Solana (SPL), Polygon (PoS), OP Mainnet (Optimism), Base, Avalanche C-Chain, zkSync Era, Stellar, NEAR Protocol, Sui, Aptos, Algorand, Polkadot, Sonic, Mantle, HyperEVM, Sei, Monad, Celo, Ronin, and Whitechain.

Do I need a memo for USDC?

Can I send USDC (Arbitrum One) straight to an address on Base?

No. Coins stay on the network they are sent on: USDC (Arbitrum One) sent on Arbitrum One arrives on Arbitrum One, even at an address that also works on Base. To get USDC (Base), swap them: you send USDC (Arbitrum One) to a partner, and the partner sends you USDC (Base) on Base.

Do I need an account to swap USDC (Arbitrum One) to USDC (Base)?

No. You don't need an account with GlobalSwap: you only enter the address that receives your USDC (Base) and, if you like, a refund address. The partner that carries out your swap may pause it and ask for identity verification, for example if its checks flag a transaction.

How long does a swap from USDC (Arbitrum One) to USDC (Base) take?

Your swap starts when the Arbitrum One network confirms your deposit. Then the partner swaps your coins and sends your USDC (Base), which usually takes a few minutes. Your wallet shows your USDC (Base) once the Base network confirms it too. Your swap's page shows each step. When we last checked, the partners stated 2–30 minutes from your confirmed deposit to the payout.

Is there a minimum amount?

Yes. When we checked on October 20, 2026 at 3:15 PM UTC, partners accepted this pair from 0.768434 USDC. The minimum changes with the market and network fees. If your amount is below it, the swap card says so and offers to use the minimum.
