About USD Coin (USDC)

USD Coin (USDC) is the world's largest regulated digital dollar, launched in September 2018 by Circle, a regulated financial service business.

USDC is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar. Every USDC is fully backed by cash and cash-equivalent assets held in regulated financial institutions. Circle's reserves are managed by BlackRock and custodied at The Bank of New York Mellon, with monthly attestation reports issued by a Big Four accounting firm ensuring complete transparency. Since its launch, USDC has processed over $63 trillion in lifetime transaction volume, growing 108% year-over-year. Major companies like Visa, Binance, Coinbase, and OKX trust USDC for fast, secure, and low-cost transactions that settle in seconds for fractions of a penny.

How to Enable Tor on Mobile

1. Install Orbot Download Orbot (official Tor Project app) from Google Play, F-Droid, or App Store.
2. Connect Orbot Open Orbot → tap Start → select Coin Wallet from the app list (optional but recommended) → wait until it shows "Connected" (10-30 seconds).
3. Enable Tor in Coin Wallet Open Coin Wallet → Settings → Network → turn on "Use Tor".
4. Verify Connection A purple Tor onion icon appears in the top bar - all your traffic is now routed through Tor.

How to Send USDC

USDC transfers operate on blockchain technology, ensuring fast, transparent, and secure transactions. USDC is available on 30+ networks including Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and others. When you send USDC, the transaction is broadcast to the blockchain network where it's verified and added to the blockchain.

Important: To send USDC on any blockchain, you need the native cryptocurrency of that network to pay for transaction fees (gas). For example, you need ETH for Ethereum, SOL for Solana, or MATIC for Polygon.

How To Send USDC To Another Wallet

1. Select USDC: Open Coin Wallet, select USDC and click "Send".
2. Choose Network: Select the blockchain network you want to use (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, etc.).
3. Enter Recipient's Address: Input the wallet address where you want to send your USDC. Double-check that the address supports USDC on the selected network.
4. Specify Amount: Enter the amount of USDC you wish to transfer. Ensure you have enough native tokens (ETH, SOL, etc.) to cover the transaction fee.
5. Review Details: Check all transaction information including network, amount, and recipient address.
6. Confirm Transaction: Finalize by entering your PIN.
7. Track Transfer: You'll receive a transaction ID to track the transfer on the blockchain explorer.

Things To Consider While Transferring USDC

Network Fees: Each blockchain has different fee structures. You must hold the native token of the network to pay for gas fees:

• Ethereum (ERC-20) - requires ETH
• Solana (SPL) - requires SOL
• Polygon - requires MATIC
• Arbitrum - requires ETH
• Base - requires ETH
• Avalanche - requires AVAX

Transaction Speed: Varies by network. Solana and Polygon take 5-20 seconds, while Ethereum can take 1-10 minutes depending on network congestion.

Network Compatibility: Both sender and receiver must use the same blockchain network. Sending USDC on Ethereum to a Solana address will result in lost funds.

Always Verify: Double-check the recipient's address and selected network before confirming any transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does USDC Take To Transfer?

Transaction time depends on the network:

• Solana: 5-20 seconds
• Polygon: 10-30 seconds
• Base/Arbitrum: 30 seconds - 2 minutes
• Ethereum: 1-10 minutes
• Avalanche: 1-3 minutes

Why Do I Need ETH To Transfer USDC?

On Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks (Arbitrum, Base, Optimism), you need ETH to pay for gas fees. This fee compensates network validators for processing your transaction.

Why Do I Need SOL To Transfer USDC?

On Solana, you need SOL to pay for transaction fees. Solana fees are extremely low, typically costing less than $0.01 per transaction.

What Is The Cheapest Network To Transfer USDC?

Solana, Polygon, and Base offer the most cost-effective USDC transfers, usually under $0.10 per transaction. Ethereum mainnet fees are higher but vary based on network congestion.

Can I Send USDC From Ethereum To Solana?

No, you cannot send USDC directly between different blockchains. Use Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) or a bridge service to move USDC between networks.

Can I Send USDC ERC-20 To A Solana Address?

No, ERC-20 (Ethereum) and SPL (Solana) are different standards. Sending to the wrong network will result in permanent loss of funds. Always verify the network before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is USDC ERC-20?

USDC ERC-20 is USD Coin issued on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses the ERC-20 token standard, which is compatible with a wide range of Ethereum-based platforms, decentralized applications, and wallets. While transaction fees can be higher during network congestion, ERC-20 USDC provides access to Ethereum’s robust ecosystem, DeFi protocols, and security features.

What is USDC SPL?

USDC SPL is USD Coin issued on the Solana blockchain using the SPL token standard. It offers lightning-fast transactions (5-20 seconds) and extremely low fees (under $0.01), making it ideal for frequent transfers and payments. Solana’s high throughput makes SPL USDC popular for trading and DeFi applications.

What is the difference between USDC and USDT?

Both USDC and USDT are stablecoins pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, but they have key differences. USDC is issued by Circle, a fully regulated US financial institution, with complete transparency and monthly attestation reports by a Big Four accounting firm. USDC reserves are held in cash and short-dated US Treasuries, managed by BlackRock and custodied at BNY Mellon. USDT (Tether) is issued by Tether Limited and has faced scrutiny over reserve transparency. USDC is available on 30+ blockchains and is known for regulatory compliance, making it a preferred choice for institutions and businesses. Both serve similar purposes, but USDC offers greater transparency and regulatory assurance.
