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 DAI received, so the figure in the swap box reflects a real executable route rather than a mid-market price.

USDC to DAI — FAQ
How do I swap USDC to DAI?
Connect a wallet, confirm the prefilled USDC → DAI 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 USDC to DAI swap take?
Same-chain swaps usually settle in well under a minute. Cross-chain USDC → DAI 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 USDC to DAI route?
Yes. When multiple routes are available, you can review the alternatives and pick the path you prefer before signing.
Can I send DAI 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.
