Common questions: USDC Optimism → PYTH

What rate does USDC Optimism to PYTH run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 13:35 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 12.9499 PYTH. 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 → PYTH accept?

Why can I not swap less than 100.67 USDC Optimism?

Pyth Network arrives in its own Pyth Network network — a plain PYTH address is all you need.
