Current maths: 2,703.7 USDC BASE for every ETH Optimism, and 0.000369863 ETH Optimism per USDC BASE in reverse. Over 24 hours ETH Optimism/USDC BASE came in at minus 0.96%. Over the week, minus 0.94%.
The weekly range ran from 2,648.68 to 2,736.33 USDC BASE, a spread of 3.31%. One order takes from 0.037454 to 3,690 ETH Optimism. In dollars that is roughly $101.38.
The robot sends the payout in the BASE network, so the address has to belong to that network — a transfer to another one will not arrive. Market capitalisation puts Ethereum at No. 2 ($330.5 B) and USD Coin at No. 6 ($74.32 B). Over 90 days the daily moves of ETH and USDC correlate at 0 (they travel apart).
Which network USDC arrives in
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Each has its own rate and its own floor, and the fee is charged by the network itself.

How the ETH Optimism → USDC BASE exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 0.037454 ETH Optimism.
- Give a USDC address on BASE and a contact for the order.
- Send ETH Optimism on Optimism, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends USD Coin to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending ETH Optimism

- Stepping out of the swingsETH moved +11.34% over the past month. USDC tracks the dollar, so after the swap the amount stops following ETH.
- It works both waysThe USDC BASE → ETH Optimism direction is open as well — going back into ETH takes the same route and the same automation.
