About the SOL to USDC swap

Why swap SOL to USDC. USDC is the main dollar on Solana and on most EVM networks. Swapping SOL to USDC locks in the price while keeping your funds on-chain.
Where your USDC can land. USDC on Solana in the same wallet, or USDC on Ethereum or Arbitrum One in one transaction from Solana.
What you need. SOL in a Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare. For USDC on Ethereum or Arbitrum One you also need an EVM address, for example from MetaMask.
Cost and speed. On 6 October 2026, 8 SOL returned about 961.7 USDC on Solana with a $0.24 fee, and about 959 USDC on Ethereum or Arbitrum One with a fee of about $3. Over the 90 days to 29 September 2026, the median SOL to USDC swap into other networks took about 3.5 minutes.

How to swap SOL to USDC

Example quote from 6 October 2026: swapping 8 SOL (~$962) on Solana in the Symbiosis app returns about 961.63 USDC on Solana, delivered in 3 minutes. Symbiosis compares routes across DEXes and liquidity sources and picks the best one by price, fee and speed. Here is the flow:

Open the swap. Go to the Symbiosis app and connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom. There is no sign-up and no KYC.
Pick the token you send. Choose SOL on Solana in the From field.
Choose USDC on Solana. Set USDC as the token to receive and Solana as the destination network. Enter the amount: 8 SOL (~$962).
Check the quote. Before you sign, the app shows how much USDC you get, the fee, price impact and time. In this example: about 961.63 USDC, a $0.24 route fee, with 2% slippage tolerance.
Sign and receive. Confirm the transaction in your wallet; USDC lands in your wallet on Solana.

ROUTE ESTIMATES

Sample SOL to USDC quotes

Symbiosis quotes for 8 SOL to USDC on 3 networks, taken in the Symbiosis app on 6 October 2026. Receive is the amount of USDC that lands in your wallet. Fee is the full cost in USD as shown in the Symbiosis app — the value you send minus the value you receive, never less than the route fee — plus the Solana network fee, which is below a cent. Time is the median delivery time from Solana to each network over the 90 days to 29 September 2026; for a swap inside Solana, the app estimate.
