USD Coin: a closer look
What USD Coin is
USD Coin (USDC) is issued by Circle — the first tokens appeared in 2018. Behind every token stand reserves of cash and short-term US Treasury bonds, and the issuer discloses their composition in regular reports.
Sending USDC Optimism
The network has to match the one the recipient expects: an address in Ethereum and an address in Polygon look the same, but the money ends up in different blockchains. The fee is charged in the native coin of the network — ETH, SOL, POL and so on.
USD Coin in detail: networks, storage and risks
The Optimism network
Optimism is another layer-2 network on top of Ethereum. Addresses are in the familiar format, the fee is in ETH and amounts to a small part of the cost in the main network.
Networks USDC runs in
- USDC ERC20 — ERC20 means tokens on the Ethereum network. The standard is accepted by almost every wallet and exchange, but gas is paid in ETH, and under heavy load its cost rises noticeably.
- USDC TRC20 — TRC20 means tokens on the TRON network. Confirmation takes seconds, and the fee is charged in TRX or covered by staked energy; it comes out cheaper than in Ethereum — which is why most USDT is sent over TRC20.
- USDC SOL — On Solana, tokens are issued under the SPL standard. A transfer is confirmed within seconds, and the fee is measured in fractions of a cent and paid in SOL. A separate account is opened for each new token, and that takes a little SOL as well.
- USDC Arbitrum — Arbitrum One is a layer-2 network on top of Ethereum. The address format is the Ethereum one and the fee is in ETH, but many times cheaper than in the main network.
- USDC BASE
- USDC BEP20 — BEP20 means tokens on BNB Smart Chain, an EVM-compatible network. The address is indistinguishable by sight from an Ethereum one, the fee is charged in BNB and usually stays small.
- USDC AVAX C — Avalanche C-Chain is the EVM-compatible chain of Avalanche, and the fee is charged in AVAX.
- USDC NEAR
- USDC Polygon — Polygon PoS is Ethereum-compatible and uses the same 0x address format. The fee is paid in POL and is usually fractions of a cent.
- USDC XLM
