USD Coin (USDC Arbitrum) → Ethereum (ETH Optimism)

Q: What amounts does USDC Arbitrum → ETH Optimism accept?

From 100.67 to 10,000,000 USDC Arbitrum per order. The floor is roughly $100.65.

Q: Why can I not swap less than 100.67 USDC Arbitrum?

The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 100.67 USDC Arbitrum they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.

Q: How long does swapping USDC Arbitrum for ETH Optimism take?

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.
