Final Checklist

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Run through these checks before confirming a USDC transfer.

Wallet and network

  • Is your wallet connected correctly?
  • Is your selected network Base?
  • Is your USDC on Base?
  • Do you have enough ETH on Base for the blockchain network fee?
  • Are you using official wallet apps or official wallet websites?

Recipient and amount

  • Is the recipient address correct?
  • Can the recipient receive USDC on Base?
  • If the recipient uses an exchange address, does that exchange support USDC deposits on Base?
  • Have you reviewed the USDC amount?
  • Are you sending a small test transfer first?

Fees and third-party services

  • Have you reviewed the RICE Pay fee?
  • Have you reviewed the blockchain network fee?
  • Have you checked any exchange, on-ramp, bridge, or wallet fees?
  • Have you checked minimum withdrawal or transfer limits?

Security

  • Did anyone ask for your seed phrase, recovery phrase, or private key?
  • Are you sure you are not using a fake wallet app, fake website, or impersonation account?
  • Did you stop and double-check if something looked unusual?

If something looks wrong, stop and check before confirming the transaction.
