How do I receive, send, or transfer USDC across chains in DeGate?

Q: How do I receive assets or withdraw from an exchange?

Choose Receive in the mobile app, select the network, and copy the address or share the QR code. If you are withdrawing from an exchange, choose the same withdrawal network there and confirm that it supports the token on that network. After the on-chain transaction is confirmed, the asset should appear in your wallet balance and History. Ethereum and Base may show the same wallet address, but you still need to choose the correct network at the exchange. If the deposit does not appear, follow the deposit troubleshooting steps.

Q: What is the difference between a cross-chain swap and a USDC cross-chain transfer?

Choose Bridge when you want to move USDC to another chain and receive USDC there. For example, USDC sent from Ethereum to Base remains USDC on Base. We charge no platform fee for this operation; the fee schedule describes it as a 1:1 transfer. App screenshot, 6 November 2026: USDC asset page. Choose a cross-chain swap in Trade when you also want a different asset. For example, you can spend USDC on Ethereum to buy ETH on Base. Before signing, review the source and destination networks, expected output, and network fee. See cross-chain gas for how network fees are paid.

Receiving and sending both use your currently selected wallet. Check the wallet, asset, network, and address before proceeding. On-chain transfers usually cannot be reversed. A small test transfer can help when you use a new route for the first time.

How do I send assets?

Select the asset and network, enter the recipient's address and amount, and review the expected receipt, network fee, and other quote details before signing. If you are sending to an exchange, get its deposit address for that token on the same network. Check the beginning and end of the address once more before you confirm.

Do I need to buy a gas token first?

Usually not when you use a DeGate recovery phrase wallet. For sends and cross-chain transactions, network fees can be paid from eligible token balances in the wallet, so you do not have to buy the destination chain's native token in advance. A hardware account needs the relevant native token at its hardware address; review the fee on the confirmation screen. See how gas payment works for examples of eligible balances.
