Builder first, then route-specific timing and limit context.
Send
USDC on Ethereum (ERC20)
The route starts with the exact deposit asset and network selected for this page.
Receive
METIS on Ethereum
Settlement is sent to the destination asset and network defined by this route.
Timing
Provider-driven
USDC routes on Ethereum depend on on-chain deposit confirmation, route processing, and final settlement timing on the destination side.
Deposit limits
Live minimums
When the deposit asset starts on Ethereum, the transferred amount still needs to stay above the live minimum after network cost is considered.
How this swap works
1
Choose USDC on Ethereum (ERC20) as the asset you send and METIS on Ethereum as the asset you receive.
2
Enter the METIS receiving address before creating the shift so settlement has a defined destination.
3
Create the shift, then send USDC on the exact Ethereum (ERC20) route shown on the shift page within the allowed deposit range.
4
Track the route until METIS settlement is completed on the dedicated status screen.
Route-specific notes
This route is oriented toward entering the METIS ecosystem, so destination wallet readiness matters before the shift is created.
Ethereum network conditions and gas cost can influence how practical the route feels for smaller deposits.
Stablecoin routes are network-sensitive, so the selected path must match the exact deposit and settlement chain shown on the shift page.

Pair FAQ
Why move USDC ERC20 to METIS instead of holding stablecoins?
This route is often used when the user wants to deploy stable value into the METIS ecosystem for apps, DeFi, transfers, or general chain activity.
What is the minimum USDC ERC20 to METIS swap amount?
The minimum is provider-driven and route-specific. Always use the live builder and the shift page as the final source of truth before sending funds.
How long does USDC ERC20 to METIS usually take?
USDC routes on Ethereum depend on on-chain deposit confirmation, route processing, and final settlement timing on the destination side.
What happens if I send less than the USDC minimum?
Deposits below the allowed range can fail to settle normally and may require provider-side handling, so the live deposit rule should always be checked before sending.
How important is network matching for USDC on this route?
Very important. USDC can exist on multiple networks, so the shift page instructions and selected route must be matched exactly before you send funds.
Do I need a METIS wallet before swapping USDC ERC20 to METIS?
Yes. You should have a compatible METIS receiving address on Ethereum before you create the shift, because settlement is sent to the exact destination you provide.
Route disclaimer
Rates, minimums, and maximums are provider-driven and can change before the shift is created.
Always verify the deposit instructions on the shift page before sending funds.
The selected receiving network must match the destination wallet and asset route.
For USDC to METIS, the live builder and shift page remain the final source of truth.
