Common questions: USDC Optimism → ORCA
What rate does USDC Optimism to ORCA run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 15:15 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 0.626623 ORCA. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $1.00.

Why can I not swap less than 100.67 USDC Optimism?

Which network will ORCA arrive in?
Orca arrives in its own Orca network — a plain ORCA 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.
