Check this before sending ALGO

  • The address network is BASE. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
  • The transfer must not be smaller than 806.6506 ALGO.

What amounts does ALGO → USDC BASE accept?
From 806.6506 to 79,700,000 ALGO per order. The floor is roughly $101.23.
