It is a reference rate, not a quote. What you actually receive depends on the size of your swap, the depth of the pools it routes through, the network fee and the slippage you allow. SwapRoute queries every capable provider in parallel and ranks the results by net USDC received, so the figure in the swap box reflects a real executable route rather than a mid-market price.

DAI to USDC — FAQ
How do I swap DAI to USDC?
Connect a wallet, confirm the prefilled DAI → USDC route, enter an amount, and review the best route. SwapRoute compares live quotes and shows route details and minimum received before you sign.
How long does a DAI to USDC swap take?
Same-chain swaps usually settle in well under a minute. Cross-chain DAI → USDC routes typically take 2–8 minutes depending on the bridge and network conditions — the estimate is shown on the route card.
Can I choose a different DAI to USDC route?
Yes. When multiple routes are available, you can review the alternatives and pick the path you prefer before signing.
Can I send USDC to a different wallet?
Yes — set any recipient address on the destination chain in the swap box. We ask you to confirm it, since cross-chain transfers can’t always be reversed.
