# 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**.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## 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](/security/kyc-aml).

## 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.
