Bridge USDC out of Arc (today)

"Move 20 dollars to Base" or the Bridge screen. Kawase moves USDC from Arc to your own address on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon or Avalanche through Circle CCTP with Circle's forwarder:

  • Your USDC is burned on Arc and minted on the destination network by Circle; you need no gas on the other side. The fee comes out of the amount and is shown before you confirm.
  • It takes about a minute. The card follows three steps: the burn on Arc, Circle's attestation, and the mint on the destination network — and it checks the money actually arrived at your address there.
  • You confirm with one Face ID. The approval and the burn go as one transaction from your wallet. The fee is capped: if the route's fee rises above the cap you were shown, nothing is sent.

Routes compared

Before you confirm, Kawase can compare the same transfer across providers and rank them by what actually arrives:

  • Circle CCTP — the route Kawase executes today.
  • LI.FI (both networks), Relay and deBridge (mainnet) — quoted for comparison only today.
  • Across and Relay as executed routes, and bridging into Arc, are being added.

Withdraw anywhere (coming)

Today you can already send USDC or EURC to any address on Arc — including an exchange's Arc deposit address — and bridge USDC to your own address on the six networks above. Withdrawing to any address on another network (a friend, an exchange elsewhere) in one step is coming.
