Supported networks

The chains and assets we accept for deposits and withdrawals.

Glide accepts stablecoin deposits and withdrawals on multiple chains. Pick the chain that’s cheapest and fastest for you; the dashboard shows the deposit address for each network you’ve enabled.

Chains we support

Network	Confirmation time	Typical gas (USDC send)	Notes
Solana	<5 seconds	<$0.01	Fastest and cheapest. Recommended for most deposits.
Base	1–3 seconds	0.01&ndash;0.10	Coinbase’s L2; great for moderate-frequency moves.
Polygon	2–5 seconds	0.01&ndash;0.05	Wide wallet support, low fees.
Ethereum	1–3 minutes	1&ndash;10	Use only when the source wallet doesn’t support an L2.
Arbitrum	1–5 seconds	0.05&ndash;0.50	Strong DEX liquidity, low fees.
Optimism	1–5 seconds	0.05&ndash;0.50	Coinbase-aligned L2 ecosystem.

We add new chains as they reach the maturity bar we set for stablecoin custody. The current full list is in your dashboard under Deposit → From crypto wallet.

Picking the right network

For most users, Solana or Base are the right choice. They settle in seconds, cost less than a cent, and both have wide USDC support across exchanges and wallets.

Use Ethereum mainnet only if your source wallet doesn’t support an L2. The gas cost is 10–100x higher and confirmation is slower; there’s no benefit to mainnet for sending USDC if you have an alternative.

Send only the right asset to the right address

Glide generates a deposit address per network. Each address accepts only the stablecoins we support on that specific network.

Sending the wrong asset to a deposit address may result in permanent loss. Sending on the wrong network (e.g., a Solana USDC address with an Ethereum USDC transfer) means the deposit can take days to recover — and on some chain combinations, recovery isn’t possible.

Always verify:

1. The asset (USDC vs USDT vs another stablecoin).
2. The network (Solana vs Ethereum vs Base, etc.).

Both must match the address Glide showed you.

What we don’t accept

• Non-stablecoin assets. BTC, ETH, SOL, and other volatile cryptocurrencies are not accepted at Glide deposit addresses. If you send these, they’re not credited; recovery requires a manual support ticket and may take weeks.
• Wrapped or bridged tokens with non-canonical issuers. We accept only canonical USDC (Circle-issued) and canonical USDT (Tether-issued). Bridged variants from non-trusted issuers are not credited.
• Privacy-rail funds. Funds that came through a sanctioned mixer or tumbler will be flagged on deposit and held pending review. See Sanctions screening.

Network outages

Blockchain networks occasionally have outages or congestion that delays settlement. If a network we support is down, you’ll see a banner on the deposit screen with the current status and an estimated resumption time. Choose a different network in the meantime.
