The figure is indicative; the exact amount is locked in the order.
One USDC SOL buys 1.0001 USDC Optimism right now; the other way round, 1 USDC Optimism is 0.9999 USDC SOL. Market over 24 hours: USDC SOL against USDC Optimism a move of 0%. The week added a move of 0%.
The weekly corridor ran from 1 to 1 USDC Optimism, a spread of 0%.
The payout leaves in the Optimism network, so the receiving address has to belong to that network.
Who takes the USDC SOL → USDC Optimism route
- Moving between networksUSDC in Solana (fee ≈ $0.0005) becomes Optimism (fee ≈ $0.00016) — the usual way to top up a wallet or an exchange that speaks one network only.
- A road both waysThe USDC Optimism → USDC SOL 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 SOL | From | Network fee | Speed |

How the USDC SOL → 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 SOL in Solana 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 SOL
- 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.
Solana against OP Mainnet (Optimism)
| Solana | OP Mainnet (Optimism) | |
|---|---|---|
| Network type | Layer one (L1) | L2, optimistic rollup |
| Fees are paid in | SOL | ETH |
| Fee level | ≈ $0.0005 | ≈ $0.00016 |
| Speed | fast | fast |
| Block | ~0.4 sec | ~2 sec |
| Address shape | base58, 32–44 | 0x… |
| Memo or tag | not needed | not needed |
| Ethereum-style address (0x…) | no | 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 Solana; 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 |

What rate does USDC SOL to USDC Optimism run at?
As of Sep 17, 2026 08:18 it is 1 USDC SOL = 1.0001 USDC Optimism. The figure recalculates on its own, and the calculator always shows the fresh one. In dollars that is around $0.999715.
What else is taken on top of the rate?
The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending USDC SOL, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.
How long does USDC SOL to USDC Optimism take?
The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Solana confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is. A block in Solana closes in about 0.4 sec.
Which network will USDC Optimism arrive in?
The payout leaves in Optimism. Make sure the receiving wallet works with that network.
Where is receiving USDC cheaper?
The cheapest is usually USDC Polygon, USDC Arbitrum, USDC BEP20, USDC AVAX C, USDC Optimism. Still, the network is chosen by what the recipient supports, not by the fee.
Will native USDC arrive, or a wrapper?
USDC Optimism is the standard USDC token in OP Mainnet (Optimism) — exactly what exchanges send when they withdraw into this network.
Do I need ETH to receive USDC Optimism?
Not to receive. ETH comes into play later, when you want to send USDC from your address.
What if the rate moves while I am paying?
The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the USDC SOL to USDC Optimism rate do this month?
The month came in at a move of 0%. Low 1, high 1, middle 1 USDC Optimism per USDC SOL.
Can I go back, USDC Optimism to USDC SOL?
