Bring dollars to Arc.
USDC is Arc's gas token, so bridging in is the only setup step there is — no wrapped asset to acquire, no second token for fees. Transfers run over Circle's CCTP: your USDC is burned on the source chain and minted natively on Arc.
Native USDC, minted by Circle. Not a wrapped asset — and it is Arc's gas token, so it pays for your own transactions on arrival.

Quotes, routes and fees above are live. Signing opens the moment Arc's public endpoint is set on this deployment — a CCTP burn cannot be undone, so we will not send one toward a destination that is not confirmed minting.
No Arcade contract in the path
The burn goes to Circle's TokenMessenger and the mint comes from Circle's MessageTransmitter. We hold no custody at any point and cannot pause, seize, or reroute a transfer.
Zero Arcade fee
You pay source-chain gas, Circle's fast-transfer fee if you choose fast, and Arc gas on the mint. Arcade adds nothing on top.
Nothing is queued
Each burn is attested and minted on its own. We do not park funds in an unattested state waiting for a route to open — if a route isn't live, the button doesn't sign.

Every route below terminates at Arc, CCTP domain 26. Domains are not chain IDs — the destination is selected by domain, which is why Arc is fixed here rather than chosen.

How it works
- What actually happens to my USDC?
- It is destroyed on the source chain. Circle observes the burn, waits for the finality level you chose, and signs an attestation. That signature is what authorises an equal mint on Arc. There is no pool holding your deposit and nothing to drain.
- Why do I sign twice?
- The burn is a transaction on the source chain and the mint is a transaction on Arc. Two chains, two signatures. The second one can be sent at any time after the attestation exists — it does not expire.
- I closed the tab mid-transfer.
- Reopen this page with the same wallet in the same browser. In-flight transfers are recorded locally before the burn is signed and resume polling automatically. The burn transaction hash is also on the source-chain explorer if you ever need to recover it by hand.
- Fast or standard?
- Standard waits for hard finality on the source chain and costs nothing beyond gas. Fast asks Circle to attest at soft finality for a per-route fee, quoted live above. Neither changes what arrives on Arc — only when.
- Do I need anything else to trade on Arc?
- No. USDC is the native gas token, so the same balance that arrives pays for your transactions. That is also why every figure on Arcade is a real dollar amount rather than a quantity of some other coin.
