1. 01
   Get a USDC to LDO quote

   Enter how much USD Coin you want to convert. You see the live USDC to LDO rate, both fees and the exact Lido DAO you will receive before you commit.

2. 02
   Send your USD Coin

   You get a USD Coin (USDC) deposit address and an exact amount. Send it from any USD Coin wallet — scanning the QR code fills in both where your wallet supports it.

3. 03
   Receive Lido DAO (LDO)

   Once the USDC deposit confirms on-chain, Lido DAO is sent to the Lido DAO address you gave. Track it on the swap’s status page, no login needed.

What does the USDC to LDO rate mean?

It is how much Lido DAO (LDO) you receive for each USD Coin (USDC) you send, taken from live market prices at the moment you ask for a quote. The rate moves with the market, so you have 90 seconds to accept a quote and create the swap; the widget refreshes it automatically if you take longer. Funding the swap once it exists has its own separate deadline, shown on your swap page.

How do I convert USDC to LDO?

Enter the amount of USDC in the widget, choose LDO as what you receive, and give a Lido DAO address. You are shown a deposit address and an exact USDC amount; send that amount and the LDO is paid to your address once the deposit confirms. No account is needed at any step.

What are the fees to exchange USDC for LDO?

Two, both shown in the quote before you send: a swap fee of 0.5% of the amount, and a network-fee charge for the Lido DAO payout transaction. There is nothing added afterwards — the LDO amount in the quote is the LDO amount that arrives.

What is the minimum USDC/LDO exchange amount?

$100 worth, shown in the widget as an amount of USDC at the current rate. There is no maximum imposed by the site beyond available Lido DAO liquidity, and no verification at any size.

Do I need an ID to swap USDC to LDO?

No. There is no KYC, no account and no email required. A swap is identified by its link, which shows its status without logging in. Creating an account is optional and only keeps your swap history in one place.

How long do USDC to LDO swaps take?

USD Coin deposits usually confirm in a few minutes on Ethereum, after which the deposit is verified on-chain. Swap times vary by asset and by how quickly its network confirms. Your swap status page shows the current stage throughout the process.

Which network can I send USDC on?

Ethereum (ERC-20), Solana, Tron (TRC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Polygon and Arbitrum One. Select the network before you start; the deposit address is specific to it. Pick the network in the widget before sending and use the matching address — USDC sent on the wrong network cannot be recovered by us. Only the networks shown in the widget can be deposited.

What happens if my USDC deposit is late or the swap expires?

There are two separate deadlines. The quote itself is held for 90 seconds — that is how long you have to accept the price and create the swap. Once the swap exists you get a separate funding window, shown on your swap page, to send the USDC. If your deposit arrives after that window closes, the status page shows Expired and the swap moves to Review required; it is then completed at the current rate or refunded to your refund address. Nothing is lost by being late — a late deposit just needs review before it is processed.

Can I swap LDO back to USDC?

Yes — every pair works in both directions. The LDO to USDC page is linked below.
