Get USDC - VRCommissions

Why USDC

One currency, held in non-custodial escrow.

USDC is a fully-backed dollar stablecoin: one USDC is always worth one US dollar. We use it on Base, a fast, low-fee Ethereum layer-2, so paying for an order costs cents in network fees instead of dollars.

When you pay, your USDC goes into a smart-contract escrow - not to us, and not yet to the seller. The platform never takes custody. Funds release to the seller when you approve the finished work, or refund to you if the order is cancelled.

Because escrow only speaks USDC-on-Base, whatever you start with - bitcoin, ETH, dollars on an exchange - needs to land in your wallet as USDC on Base first. That's all this page is for.

Three ways in

Pick whatever you already have.

Already hold crypto?

If you have USDC, ETH, or other tokens on another chain (Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon…), bridge them to Base. The official Base Bridge moves assets across in a few minutes. Once they're on Base, swap to USDC in any wallet or DEX.

Have Bitcoin?

Swap BTC straight to USDC on Base - landing in your own wallet - using the tool below. No account or sign-up with the swap provider; you just send bitcoin and USDC arrives on Base.

Starting from dollars?

Most major exchanges let you buy USDC and withdraw it directly on the Base network. When withdrawing, choose Base as the network and paste your wallet address. Double-check the network - sending to the wrong chain can lose funds.
