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, when quotes are available. Disconnected previews request current provider quotes but cannot be signed. Reference-price tables are separate from those quotes. Connect your wallet to get transaction details for your address.

How USDC to DAI swaps work
Swapping USD Coin to Dai means routing through the venue that gives you the strongest available path. SwapRoute queries multiple aggregators under the hood, normalises every quote, and ranks them by net output. Provider confidence only breaks ties between effectively equal outputs; speed is not part of the ranking.

This preset stays on Ethereum: both USDC and DAI are selected on that network. Check any approval before signing the swap. Network gas is paid separately from the displayed token output.

FAQ
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?
Settlement depends on the selected networks, route provider and network conditions. A cross-chain USDC → DAI swap includes a destination step; source-chain confirmation alone does not mean the funds have arrived. Follow the route status and destination transaction when available.
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?
You can request a different recipient on the destination network when the provider supports it. ETH/WETH wrapping can require the connected wallet as recipient. Verify the destination network and address before signing.
