# Getting the Best Exchange Rate

Orby’s Redemption Mechanism does not always provide the best rate for you to swap out $USC for $cdcETH. Normally, this feature only makes sense to be used when the value of $USC falls below USD 1. 

There are alternative venues that could provide a more favourable USC:cdcETH exchange rate, such as swapping on a DEX or a DEX aggregator. In order to determine the best venue, Orby provides a real-time exchange rate comparison on the Redeem page, helping you get the best deal when swapping USC for cdcETH.

**How It Works**

* See live USC → cdcETH rates from Orby, VVS, and WOWMAX.
* The best rate is automatically highlighted.
* If Orby offers the best rate, redeem directly.
* If VVS or WOWMAX has a better rate, click the direct link to swap there.

This ensures you always get the best possible value.
