How the ORCA → USDC BASE exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 62.4117 ORCA.
- Give a USDC address on BASE and a contact for the order.
- Send ORCA on Orca, 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 ORCA
- The address network is BASE. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 62.4117 ORCA.

- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.
