Use case · Global contractors

Global contractors: settle USDC into euros, pounds, or dollars.

When you invoice clients across borders, the hard part is landing your currency cleanly. A P2P off-ramp lets a buyer pay your EUR, GBP, or USD app directly while the USDC leg settles onchain.

03

What to watch across borders

  • Corridor and account region govern whether a specific currency can actually reach you.
  • Long-tail currencies have thinner buyer demand than USD, EUR, and GBP, so price and size accordingly.
  • External payment apps enforce their own limits, KYC, and reversal rules; the protocol cannot change them.
  • Keep clean records; cross-border stablecoin disposals can carry tax obligations.

Common questions

What is USDCtoFiat?

USDCtoFiat lets you sell USDC on Base for money in Venmo, Cash App, Chime, Revolut, Wise, Zelle, PayPal, Monzo, N26, and Luxon. You keep control of your wallet, and trades settle through non-custodial ZKP2P smart contracts on Base.

Does USDCtoFiat hold my funds?

No. You sign every transaction from your own wallet. Your USDC is locked in a public Base contract and releases to the buyer only after their payment is proven. You can withdraw any unfilled deposit at any time.

What does it cost to sell?

Creating and managing a seller deposit is free, though Base gas applies to onchain actions. The offramp SDK is free to integrate. On delegated fills, Delegate's 0.10% manager fee comes from the USDC released to the buyer, not from your fiat proceeds or your quoted rate. Peerlytics analytics, webhooks, and API credits are priced separately.

Do I need a centralized exchange account?

No exchange account is required to use USDCtoFiat. You need a wallet holding USDC on Base and an account on the payment app you want to be paid in. The payment app's own account rules and limits still apply.

Do I need to complete KYC?

USDCtoFiat does not collect identity documents, hold your fiat, or hold your keys. The payment app you use still controls its own verification, limits, and account rules. USDC settlement happens through Base smart contracts, and we cannot change what Venmo, PayPal, Wise, Zelle, or your bank requires.

Which currencies can a contractor receive?

USD, EUR, and GBP. USD via Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or Chime; EUR and GBP via Revolut, Wise, N26, Monzo, PayPal, or Luxon. Whether a specific corridor reaches you depends on your account region.

How fast does a deposit fill?

Fill speed depends on buyer demand for your payment method, currency, and rate. Liquid routes like USD via Venmo or Cash App, or EUR/GBP via Revolut or Wise, move fastest. You can withdraw unfilled deposits whenever you want.
