How the SAND → USDC NEAR exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 2,290.87 SAND.
- Give a USDC address on NEAR and a contact for the order.
- Send SAND on The Sandbox, 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 SAND
- The address network is NEAR. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 2,290.87 SAND.
- 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.
