It has two modes, one for Arc and one for Stable. ## USDC to Arc This mode moves native USDC from Base to Arc using Circle CCTP, the official Circle mint and burn rails. It is non custodial, no third party holds your funds. Your USDC is burned on Base, Circle issues an attestation, and the same amount is minted as native USDC on Arc. ```mermaid flowchart LR A[Approve USDC on Base] --> B[Burn on Base] B --> C[Circle attests] C --> D[Mint native USDC on Arc] D --> E[USDC in your wallet on Arc] ``` Steps in the interface: Enter an amount, or press Max to use your full Base balance. Confirm the transfer on Base. Your USDC is burned into CCTP. Wait for the Circle attestation. A fast transfer usually settles in around fifteen seconds, though it can take a few minutes. Confirm the mint on Arc. You receive native USDC on Arc. You need a small amount of USDC on Arc to pay the one time mint gas fee. Every transfer is tracked under Your transfers, so if you refresh or close the tab, the claim button reappears on its own once the attestation is ready. There is also a recovery option to finish an older transfer by its Base transaction hash. When Arc is under maintenance, new transfers are paused so nothing gets stuck. Existing transfers stay claimable, and normal operation returns once Arc access is restored. ## Any chain to Stable This mode brings value from many chains into USDT0 on Stable, using a cross chain routing provider. Pick a source asset and chain, choose the amount, and the route delivers USDT0 to your wallet on Stable, ready to trade or launch. ## Which mode to use Use USDC to Arc when you want to trade or launch on Arc, since Arc runs on native USDC. Use Any chain to Stable when you are coming from elsewhere and want to end up on Stable with USDT0, the most liquid network on the platform. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.stablepad.app/using-stablepad/bridge.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
