1:1 Stablecoin Swaps

Extension tier: Premium When the 1:1 Stablecoin Swaps extension is enabled, cross-stable conversions between USDT and USDC are executed at a guaranteed 1:1 rate. There is no slippage, no market exposure, and no variance between the deposited amount and the settled amount (net of the standard bridge fee).

​
The problem this solves

Without this extension, a cross-stable swap (e.g. a user deposits USDT and the destination expects USDC) is routed through a market. The settled amount depends on the USDT/USDC market price at the time of execution. In thin conditions, this can deviate from 1:1 by a meaningful amount. For applications that display a quoted settlement amount to end users — onboarding flows, payment screens, balance estimations — any variance creates a UX problem and potential customer support burden.

​
How it works

Rhino maintains its own USDT and USDC reserves on supported chains. When a cross-stable deposit arrives, Rhino credits the destination from its reserves at exactly 1:1, then rebalances its own positions off the critical path. The user’s experience is: deposited USDT amount equals settled USDC amount (minus fee). This applies to:
  • USDT → USDC
  • USDC → USDT
Both directions, across all supported chains where USDT and USDC are both available.

​
Integration

No API change is required. If your account has this extension enabled, any SDA or bridge request that specifies a cross-stable tokenOut will automatically use 1:1 pricing. To confirm this extension is active on your account, check the Rhino Console under Configuration, or contact your account representative.

​
Limits

Deposit limits for 1:1 swap routes follow the same limits as standard SDA deposits. For very large individual transactions (above $1M USD equivalent), contact your account representative to confirm available liquidity. Volume based limits are applied to protect your app from abuse. These limits are customizable on a case by case basis.
  • Account level limit - the total 1:1 swap volume limit over all transactions within a specified time frame (expressed in days)
  • Recipient level limit - the total 1:1 swap volume limit per specific recipient
Once limits are hit, the service falls back to the market rate. If a recipient hits their limit, only their transactions will fall back to the market rate.
