Network move · no account
No account, no email, no verification: measure a dose of USD Coin, paste the USDC address the distillate goes to, and the lab does the rest.
This is a network move, not a price exchange: you receive the same USDC, minus the Base delivery fee, on a chain where it is cheaper or more convenient to use.
Your batch number is the only key to the batch page: no account, no email, nothing else that ties the swap to you.
The process
Enter how much USD Coin you pour and the USDC address the distillate goes to — an address on Base. The estimate updates before you commit.
Send exactly that dose from any wallet to the deposit address, on Ethereum (ERC-20). The furnace lights at the first confirmation (depends on the network).
The lab distills and delivers to your flask on Base. Usually 5 to 30 minutes end to end, confirmations included.
The pair
Formula and minimum refresh every few minutes from the live route. The binding formula is the one engraved when you start a batch.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes for the median batch. Most of it is waiting for depends on the network on Ethereum; the delivery on Base is quick once distillation starts.
About 21 USDC (about $20) at today's prices. Below that, network fees would eat the distillate, so the batch pauses until you top up or ask for a return.
Yes. The expected USDC output is engraved when you seal the batch and holds until the expiry shown on the deposit page. A deposit that arrives after expiry is handled at the live formula or returned, and you are told which.
No. There is no account, no email and no identity check. The batch number you receive is the only way to find the batch again, so keep it.
A Base address. USDC on another network is a different token with a different address format; the lab delivers only on Base for this pair.
The deposit address listens on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Tokens sent on another chain are not seen by the athanor; some can be recovered by a technician for a handling fee, many cannot. When in doubt, send a small test dose first.
