What amounts does SAND → USDC XLM accept?

Why can I not swap less than 2,290.87 SAND?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 2,290.87 SAND they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

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.
