### Get ipUSD

On the Get ipUSD page, connect a wallet and switch to Soneium. Select Startale USD (USDSC) or USDC.e, enter an amount, and review the ipUSD to receive.

Both supported assets can be converted into ipUSD 1:1 through the interface.

Before the first transaction with an asset, the wallet will normally ask the user to approve the relevant contract. After approval, confirm the conversion transaction.

The protocol currently charges no additional fee for obtaining ipUSD. Soneium network fees still apply.

### Convert ipUSD back

Under Convert back, enter the amount of ipUSD and select USDSC or USDC.e as the receiving asset.

The interface converts ipUSD back into the selected supported asset 1:1. Before confirming, review the selected asset, amount, receiving address, and network fee.

The available conversion balance is separate from the IP Vault’s Total Vault Value and from the liquidity available for IP Vault withdrawals.
