How the LINK → USDC SOL exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 6.8478 LINK.
- Give a USDC address on Solana and a contact for the order.
- Send LINK on Chainlink, 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 LINK
- The address network is Solana. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 6.8478 LINK.
- Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

What rate does LINK to USDC SOL run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 16:55 it is 1 LINK = 14.4324 USDC SOL. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $14.43.
What amounts does LINK → USDC SOL accept?

Why can I not swap less than 6.8478 LINK?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 6.8478 LINK they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending LINK, and the blockchain takes that one.

Which network will USDC SOL arrive in?
The payout goes out on Solana. Check that the receiving wallet supports that network.
Which network is cheaper for receiving USDC?
Usually USDC SOL, USDC Arbitrum, USDC BEP20, USDC AVAX C, USDC Optimism, USDC Polygon works out cheaper. Still, the network is picked by what the recipient accepts, not by the fee.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the LINK to USDC SOL rate do over the month?
