Mistakes to Avoid
- Reading the result as a loss: fewer EURC than USDC is normal, because one euro is worth more than one dollar.
- Base vs Ethereum: EURC exists on both; make sure the receiving address and app use the network you chose.
- No ETH for gas: both Base and Ethereum need a little ETH to send the swap.
