Swap USDC on Ethereum to USDC on Base

how to bridge usdc from ethereum to base

Steps

what is usdc?

Circle is the issuer of USDC. Founded in 2013, Circle provides blockchain infrastructure and cryptocurrency services globally. USDC operates across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, and others.

USDC maintains a 1:1 peg to the US Dollar through 100% collateral backing. Each USDC in circulation is backed by equivalent fiat currency or short-term US Treasury securities held in reserve.

USDC is deployed as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and an equivalent standard on Base. Both networks support deep liquidity across DEXs and lending protocols, with near-instant settlement on Base due to its L2 architecture.
