Common questions: USDC Optimism → KITE

What rate does USDC Optimism to KITE run at?

As of Sep 30, 2026 17:20 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 7.1647 KITE. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $1.00.

What amounts does USDC Optimism → KITE accept?

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

Why can I not swap less than 100.67 USDC Optimism?

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

Is anything charged on top of the rate?

Which network will KITE arrive in?

Kite arrives in its own Kite network — a plain KITE address is all you need.

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 USDC Optimism to KITE rate do over the month?

Over the month, minus 15.45%: a low of 6.5061, a high of 9.9308, an average of 8.2503 KITE per 1 USDC Optimism.
