Swap USDT Optimism for USDC AVAX C

Check this before sending USDT Optimism

  • The address network is Avalanche C-Chain. 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 Avalanche C-Chain.
  • To move USDC on later, put a little AVAX at the same address.
  • Coins go through an AML check: a flagged transfer can be held until the check is finished.
