Bridge USDC from Avalanche to Arc
Stablane moves your USDC from Avalanche to Arc with zero platform fees. It uses Circle CCTP V2 to burn on Avalanche and mint native USDC on Arc, so you get 1:1 with no slippage and no wrapped tokens. Avalanche finalizes in seconds, so it arrives in about 30 sec.

FAQ
How much does it cost to bridge USDC from Avalanche to Arc?
Stablane charges no platform fee. You only pay Circle's fee and gas on Avalanche. There is no Fast tier from Avalanche, so there is no protocol fee. Automatic delivery adds a forwarding fee of about 0.016 USDC; that is the only fee in Standard mode. With Standard (self-claim) Circle charges nothing and you pay gas on Arc yourself. These numbers were quoted when this page was generated; the quote shown before you confirm is what applies.
How long does it take to bridge USDC from Avalanche to Arc?
Avalanche reaches finality within seconds, so Standard mode arrives in about 30 sec and no Fast tier is needed. The USDC lands at the same address on Arc.
How do I pay gas on Arc after bridging?
Arc is Circle's stablecoin L1 and uses USDC for gas. You only need a little AVAX on Avalanche to start; once the USDC arrives on Arc you can pay Arc gas with it directly, no other token required.
Is it safe to bridge with Stablane?
Stablane never holds your funds and has no contracts or liquidity pools of its own. Your wallet calls Circle's CCTP V2 contract on Avalanche to burn USDC; after Circle attests, the CCTP contract on Arc mints the same amount. The risk is the same as holding USDC itself.
Why is it 1:1 with no slippage?
CCTP burns and mints instead of swapping: whatever is burned on Avalanche is minted on Arc (minus the Circle fees above), with no exchange rate or slippage. You receive native USDC issued by Circle on Arc, not a bridged token such as USDC.e.
What if the transfer fails or does not arrive?
A transfer has two steps: burn on Avalanche, mint on Arc. Once the burn succeeds your funds are safe: History shows progress, and on another device you can recover it with the burn transaction hash from Avalanche. If automatic delivery stalls you can claim on Arc yourself (needs a little USDC for gas).
Are Safe and other smart contract wallets supported?
Not yet. CCTP mints to the same address on Arc, and a contract wallet's address on another chain may not belong to you. Stablane detects contract wallets and blocks them; please use a regular wallet (EOA) such as MetaMask or Rabby.
Is there a minimum or maximum amount?
Stablane sets no limits, and transfers from Avalanche use Standard mode, which has no cap. The amount must exceed the forwarding fee (about 0.016 USDC); otherwise choose self-claim.
