How the USDC Optimism → XLM exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 100.67 USDC Optimism.
- Give a XLM address on Stellar and a contact for the order. Receiving to an exchange? Add the Memo, or the payment will hang on the recipient side.
- Send USDC Optimism on Optimism, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends Stellar to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending USDC Optimism
- The address network is Stellar. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- If the recipient asks for a Memo, enter it when you create the order.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 100.67 USDC Optimism.
- Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Common questions: USDC Optimism → XLM
What rate does USDC Optimism to XLM run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 11:45 it is 1 USDC Optimism = 4.4996 XLM. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $0.998105.
What amounts does USDC Optimism → XLM 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?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending USDC Optimism, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping USDC Optimism for XLM take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Optimism confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.
Which network will XLM arrive in?
Stellar arrives in its own Stellar network — a plain XLM address is all you need. Some exchanges and wallets also need a Memo.
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 XLM rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 19.53%: a low of 4.4789, a high of 5.7252, an average of 5.2532 XLM per 1 USDC Optimism.
Can I swap back, XLM for USDC Optimism?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 XLM = 0.222238 USDC Optimism. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
