Who takes the USDC AVAX C → USDC Optimism route
- Moving between networksUSDC in Avalanche C-Chain (fee ≈ $0.0014) becomes Optimism (fee ≈ $0.00015) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDC Optimism → USDC AVAX C direction is open too, so going back into USDC 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 USDC AVAX C | From | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC20) | 1.0001 | 200 USDC AVAX C | ≈ $0.0067 | medium |

How the USDC AVAX C → USDC Optimism order runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator and press the exchange button.
- Enter a USDC address in Optimism and a way to reach you.
- Send USDC AVAX C in Avalanche C-Chain for exactly the amount stated in the order.
- Once the network confirms your transfer, USD Coin Optimism leaves for your address. The order page tracks every step.
Check this before sending USDC AVAX C
- The address network is Optimism. Sending through another network usually means losing the transfer.
- 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 OP Mainnet (Optimism).
- To move USDC on later, put a little ETH at the same address.
- Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
Avalanche C-Chain against OP Mainnet (Optimism)
| Avalanche C-Chain | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | AVAX | ETH |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.0014 | ≈ $0.00015 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | — | ~2 sec |
| Address shape | 0x… | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | yes | yes |
| Official withdrawal to Ethereum | — | ≈ 7 days (challenge period) |
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 OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Depends: in some networks it is the bridged version of the token |
| 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 OP Mainnet (Optimism) | Not needed to receive | Often needed, or the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| Timing | After confirmations in Avalanche C-Chain; 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 |
