Route · Solana → Arc
Solana USDC to Arc.
Phantom wallet, one signature, native USDC on Arc. Solana runs the same Circle CCTP v2 burn-and-mint as every other chain, so nothing gets wrapped and nothing sits in a pool.
Steps
Prepare your Arc address
You need a receiving address on Arc first. Add the Arc network to any EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, or your wallet's custom network option) and copy the address. It looks like a normal 0x address.
Open the official USDC Bridge
Go to bridge.usdc.com, connect Phantom, choose Solana as source and Arc as destination. Paste your Arc address.
Check two things, then sign
Keep a little SOL for the transaction fee. Confirm the token shows as native USDC, not a wrapped variant. Sign the burn transaction.
Watch it land
Circle mints native USDC on Arc to your address, typically within seconds. On Arc, USDC is the gas token, so it is spendable immediately.
Details that matter
How much does it cost?
A few cents of SOL on the Solana side, plus the protocol fee shown before you sign. There is no percentage cut from us.
What if I hold USDC on other chains?
Same flow from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and other supported chains. See Ethereum to Arc for the EVM version.
Why not a third-party bridge?
Lock-and-wrap bridges give you a claim on pooled funds. Burn-and-mint gives you the asset itself, issued by Circle on Arc. For a chain day one, that difference is the whole game.
