How to buy USDCx

USDCx is the USDC-backed stablecoin on Canton Network and the unit OneSwap prices every other asset against. OneSwap has no fiat onramp, so buying USDCx means funding your OneSwap platform wallet with an asset a live USDCx pool pairs against and swapping it; an issuer or exchange can instead send USDCx straight to that wallet's Canton party ID.

Buy USDCx step by step

You'll need

  • Account

    A OneSwap account. Signup creates the platform wallet that the trading app uses.

  • Funding

    The asset a live USDCx route starts from — the route cards below name it — or an issuer or exchange path that sends USDCx to your OneSwap wallet directly.

  • Before you swap

    Awareness that a stablecoin peg does not remove pool pricing: OneSwap quotes still move with reserves and trade size.

  1. Create your OneSwap wallet

    Sign up for OneSwap with your email and password, then finish email verification. OneSwap creates a secure platform wallet for your account during signup; this is the wallet whose balances are available in the trading app.

  2. Fund the OneSwap wallet

    Copy the Canton party ID or receive QR from your OneSwap wallet details, then send an asset named on a route card below to that address. If an issuer or exchange sends USDCx there directly, you can hold or trade it without this swap.

  3. Accept the incoming transfer

    Open Offers in OneSwap after the sender submits the transfer. Accept the incoming offer to add it to your spendable balance, or enable auto-accept there for future incoming transfers.

  4. Swap into USDCx

    Select a funded route into USDCx and enter the amount to convert. The rate comes from pool reserves, not from an assumed one-dollar peg. The review screen shows the rate, the price impact for that exact size, the pool fee, and the minimum you receive after slippage; Canton network traffic is prepaid separately in CC.

  5. Verify the balance and manage the position

    Once settled on the Canton ledger, the USDCx balance shows in your OneSwap wallet. From there it works as the venue's dollar unit: hold it, swap into other Canton assets, or provide pool liquidity. The platform wallet is the default; on deployments that support it, Settings → Self-custody lets you take custody after backing up your key.

Scope and limits

What OneSwap does not do

There is no fiat onramp: you cannot buy USDCx with dollars or a card here, and connecting an external wallet does not make its balance tradable. The default signup flow creates a platform wallet that OneSwap operates for your account. On deployments with self-custody enabled, you can later take custody from Settings and keep trading through a bounded mandate.

Leaving for dollars is a separate flow. OneSwap's cash-out, still rolling out, moves CC or USDCx across the USDC bridge and pays out in dollars — unlike a swap, it runs its own identity checks.

Prices are not guaranteed either. Quotes come from pool reserves, so the rate moves as other swaps settle, and larger orders move it more. Check the live USDCx price and the price impact primer before sizing a first purchase.

Common questions

Buying USDCx FAQ

Do I need KYC on OneSwap to buy USDCx?

OneSwap signup uses an email and password and creates a platform wallet for the account. It does not ask for government identity documents to execute a swap. Cashing out to dollars is a separate flow with its own identity checks. The platform operates that wallet by default; self-custody is an optional Settings flow on deployments where it is enabled.

Can I buy USDCx with USD directly on OneSwap?

No — OneSwap only swaps Canton assets and has no fiat onramp. Fiat conversion happens with an issuer or centralized venue; send the resulting Canton asset to your OneSwap platform wallet before trading.

Does USDCx always trade at exactly one dollar on OneSwap?

There is no guaranteed rate. USDCx is USDC-backed, but OneSwap quotes come from pool reserves, so the executed rate can deviate from one dollar with pool balance and trade size. The quote screen shows the exact rate before you confirm.

Can I trade USDCx from an external Canton wallet?

Trading uses the OneSwap platform wallet created at signup. An external Canton wallet can send assets to its party ID or receive a withdrawal, but its balance does not become tradable merely by connecting it to OneSwap.

What fees apply when buying USDCx?

Two costs apply. The pool on your chosen route charges a swap fee, shown on every route card here, and Canton charges for network traffic — that one is prepaid in CC from Settings rather than deducted from the swap, so it is not a line in the quote. The review screen before you confirm shows the rate, the price impact for your exact amount, the pool fee, and the minimum you receive after slippage.
