Open L2Pass Swap** Go to [swap.l2pass.com](https://swap.l2pass.com/), choose ETH on the network you hold it on as the source and USDC or USDT on the destination network, then enter the amount and set the receiving address. **2. Compare the routes** Each route card shows the expected output, minimum received, estimated time and fees. ETH prices move, so check the minimum received. Default slippage is 0.05% (editable). **3. Set a refund address** For L2Pass RFQ and L2Pass Private, set the refund address to a wallet you control on the source chain. If the swap cannot complete, your ETH is returned there. **4. Pay by wallet or deposit address** On Relay and LI.FI, sign the transaction in your wallet. On L2Pass RFQ and L2Pass Private, send ETH to the one-time deposit address from your connected wallet, any wallet or an exchange, by address or QR code. **5. Track the swap** For L2Pass RFQ and L2Pass Private, follow the status in **Recent swaps**: *Awaiting deposit*, *Deposit confirmed*, then *Complete*. ## Things to know * **Keep some ETH for gas.** You pay source gas in ETH, so do not swap your whole balance on a wallet route. On a deposit-address route, the network fee for your transfer comes out of your wallet too. * **Price moves.** ETH is volatile. The minimum received protects you: if the price moves beyond your slippage tolerance, the swap does not execute. * **Refunds.** On-chain routes revert (gas is not refundable). Deposit-address routes return your deposit to the refund address; provider and network fees may be deducted. * **No partial fills.** A swap completes in full or does not execute. * **Compliance checks.** No account or KYC is needed for regular use, though a provider may request extra checks for a specific transaction. If a provider flags a swap as high risk under AML or sanctions rules, it decides whether to complete, refund or hold it, and a refund is not guaranteed. ## FAQ > **Can I swap ETH to USDC and bridge it in one step?** > > Yes.
