Withdrawals

Send your stablecoins to any external wallet you control. Network gas only; no fee from Glide.

You can withdraw your stablecoin balance to any external wallet at any time. There’s no Glide fee on withdrawals; you pay only the network gas required to broadcast the transaction.

Withdraw a stablecoin

1. Open the send screen

   From the dashboard, tap Send → Stablecoin transfer.

2. Pick the asset and network

   Choose the stablecoin (USDC or USDT) and the network you want to withdraw on. The dashboard shows your balance per asset and per network.

3. Paste the destination address

   Enter the wallet address you want to send to. Glide validates the address checksum and warns if the network looks wrong.

   First-time withdrawals to a new address require step-up verification (Face ID, passkey, or your two-factor method). Subsequent sends to the same address skip the step-up unless your security settings require it every time.

4. Review and confirm

   See:

   • The amount you’re sending.
   • The network gas cost in USD-equivalent.
   • The arrival amount at the destination.
   • The expected confirmation time for the chosen network.

   Tap Confirm. The transaction broadcasts; you can track the on-chain hash in the dashboard right after.

How long it takes

Network	Confirmation time
Solana	<5 seconds
Base	1–3 seconds
Polygon	2–5 seconds
Arbitrum	1–5 seconds
Optimism	1–5 seconds
Ethereum	1–3 minutes

Fully on-chain finality (the point past which a re-org is essentially impossible) takes a bit longer on some chains. Most exchanges and DeFi protocols will credit your withdrawal as soon as the first confirmation lands.

Withdrawal limits

Withdrawal limits follow your account tier. See Limits and fees for the table.

For very large withdrawals (above your standard tier), you’ll trigger an enhanced-review flow that asks for a quick confirmation by email or relationship-manager call. Most large withdrawals clear within an hour of the confirmation.

Withdrawals to flagged addresses

Glide screens every withdrawal destination against on-chain analytics. If the destination address is associated with a sanctioned entity, mixer, or known fraud cluster, the withdrawal is held pending review. You’ll see a clear message explaining why; we follow up by email with whatever next-step you need.

This is not a “we’ll randomly block you” pattern. We block fewer than 0.1% of withdrawals, and almost all of those are obvious match-ups against published sanctions lists.

What we don’t do

• No reversible withdrawals. Once you confirm, the transaction broadcasts. Glide can’t pull it back. If you sent to the wrong address, recovery is on the receiving side, not on us.
• No internal-only stablecoin transfers. If you want to send to another Glide user, use Glide-to-Glide transfers instead — faster and free.
• No fee tier discounts. Network gas is what it is. We don’t pad the gas estimate; you see the actual market rate.

Network outages

If the network you’ve selected is down or massively congested, the dashboard shows a banner with the current status. Choose a different network if your destination supports one.
