To deposit USDC into your Paribu account, you need to transfer from the platform or wallet you are sending from to Paribu's USDC deposit address. USDC can be deposited over multiple networks; each network has different deposit addresses, transaction times, and fees. Selecting the right network ensures that the transaction is completed quickly and at low cost.
To deposit USDC on Paribu web, click the USDC asset on the Wallet page, select the Deposit button in the window that opens, and determine your deposit network. After selecting the network, copy the deposit address shown or use the QR code, then make a transfer from the platform or wallet you are sending from to this address. The transaction time varies from a few seconds to ~25 minutes depending on the selected network.
Warning: Make sure that the same network is selected on the sending and receiving sides. Using a different network may result in asset loss. For example, an ERC-20 address can only be used over the Ethereum network.
Instead of copying the address manually, you can send using the QR code. If the platform you are sending from supports QR scanning, the address is transferred without errors.
USDC exists on multiple blockchain networks. When selecting a network, evaluate the networks supported by the platform you are sending from, the transaction time, and the fee together.
| Network | Estimated time | Network fee |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC-20) | ~25 minutes | High |
| Solana (SOL) | ~a few seconds | Low |
Recommendations for network selection:
Note: A separate deposit address is generated for each network. When you change the network, the address on the screen also changes.
