DAI (Ethereum) → USDC Polygon (Polygon PoS)
Dollars change networks: send DAI in Ethereum, collect USDC Polygon in Polygon PoS. One order.

The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
The direction runs at 1.0032 USDC Polygon per DAI, or 0.996802 DAI per USDC Polygon. Market over 24 hours: DAI against USDC Polygon plus 0.01%. The week added plus 0.03%.
The weekly corridor ran from 0.99969 to 1.0004 USDC Polygon, a spread of 0.07%. A single order takes 100 to 10,000,000 DAI. In dollars that is roughly $100.00.
The payout leaves in the Polygon network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network. By market cap Dai sits 22th ($4.59 B) and USD Coin 6th ($73.69 B).
Who takes the DAI → USDC Polygon route
- A road both waysThe USDC Polygon → DAI direction is open too, so going back into DAI takes the same route.

Payout network for USDC
The same USDC goes out in several networks. Rates and lower limits differ, and the fee is charged by the network itself.
| Network | Per DAI | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polygon open now | 1.0032 | 100 DAI | ≈ $0.0017 | fast |
| Solana | 0.995593 | 100 DAI | ≈ $0.0005 | fast |
| Ethereum (ERC20) | 0.995593 | 100 DAI | ≈ $0.0077 | medium |

How the DAI → USDC Polygon order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator: orders start at 100 DAI.
- Enter a USDC address in Polygon and a way to reach you.
- Send DAI in Dai for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending DAI
- The address network is Polygon. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 100 DAI.
- Copy the address whole, then compare the first and last characters after pasting.
- Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon all use the same address shape (0x…). Make sure the wallet is switched to Polygon PoS.
- To move USDC on later, put a little POL at the same address.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Ethereum against Polygon PoS
| Ethereum | Polygon PoS | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | Sidechain with checkpoints in Ethereum |
| Fees are paid in | ETH | POL |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.0077 | ≈ $0.0017 |
| Speed | medium | fast |
| Block | ~12 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
Fee and speed levels are comparative: both move with how busy the network is.
How this differs from a classic bridge
| RubyCash | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What lands at your address | USDC in Polygon PoS | The same stablecoin; turning USDT into USDC is a separate step |
| Wallet and signatures | Not needed: the coins go to the address from the order | Needed: connect the wallet and sign contract transactions |
| A coin for fees in Polygon PoS | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Ethereum; the order page tracks it | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds meanwhile | RubyCash for the life of the order, with an AML check | The bridge contract or its validators |
