# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.orby.network/user-guide/how-to-use-the-redemption-feature/getting-the-best-exchange-rate.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
