Deposit USDC from Any Chain

Move USDC from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and 20+ other chains natively into Arc - no wrapped tokens, no third-party bridges.

How it works​

Aruvi's Deposit page uses Circle's App Kit, which drives CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol): your USDC is burned on the source chain and minted natively on Arc. What arrives is real USDC - immediately usable for payments and gas.

Steps​

  1. Open Deposit in the app
  2. Pick the source chain (Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, OP Sepolia, Avalanche Fuji, Polygon Amoy on testnet)
  3. Enter the amount
  4. Approve and confirm the prompts in your wallet

Bridging typically takes a few minutes end-to-end (the source chain is the slow part - Arc's mint is instant once the message arrives).

Requirements​

  • USDC on the source chain
  • A little source-chain gas (e.g. Sepolia ETH) for the burn transaction - the only time you'll ever need a non-USDC token
  • Your wallet switched to the source chain when prompted
Testing? Skip the bridge

Circle's faucet mints USDC directly on Arc Testnet - much faster for development.

For developers​

The integration is a single call with Circle's App Kit:

import { AppKit } from '@circle-fin/app-kit';
import { createViemAdapterFromProvider } from '@circle-fin/adapter-viem-v2';

const adapter = await createViemAdapterFromProvider({ provider: walletProvider });
const kit = new AppKit();

await kit.bridge({
  from: { adapter, chain: 'Ethereum_Sepolia' },
  to: { adapter, chain: 'Arc_Testnet' },
  amount: '25.00',
});
