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.
