Swap USDC to DAI without a wallet
Both are dollar stablecoins on Ethereum, but USDC is issued by a company that can freeze balances and Dai is issued against on-chain collateral. This swap trades one issuer's guarantee for the other's, at roughly one-to-one.

Questions
- How do I swap USDC to DAI without a wallet?
- Enter the amount and your DAI receiving address, then send USDC to the one-time deposit address you are given. You do not connect a wallet. The provider performs the swap and pays DAI to your address.
- How do I transfer USDC to DAI?
- USDC and DAI are different assets, so the value has to be converted rather than sent straight to a DAI address. Swap USDC to DAI here: send USDC to the one-time deposit address, and DAI is paid to the address you provide.
- How long does a USDC to DAI swap take?
- It depends on how quickly your USDC deposit is confirmed on Ethereum or Solana and on the provider. Slower networks and low fees take longer, and we cannot promise a fixed time. The order page shows each step.
- What does it cost to swap USDC to DAI?
- The quote shows the rate, the fees and the minimum DAI you will receive before you send anything. Rates and fees change, so check the quote each time.
- Does Sense Swap hold my USDC or DAI?
- No. Sense Swap is non-custodial. Funds move from your wallet to a one-time deposit address for the swap, and the result goes to the address you provide.
- What are the minimum and maximum amounts for USDC to DAI?
- They depend on the provider and change over time. The quote shows the limits before you send, and an amount outside them will not be accepted.
- What happens if the swap cannot complete?
- If a provider cannot complete a swap, it refunds to the refund address you supplied. The refund appears in your order timeline.
