🚀 Astar Network launches Bridged USDC.
Astar has introduced Bridged USDC, deployed by Swapper Finance using Circle's Bridged USDC standard and Chainlink CCIP, replacing legacy cross-chain assets such as ceUSDC.
🔹 Native USDC is locked on the source chain
🔹 An equivalent amount of Bridged USDC is minted on Astar
🔹 No liquidity pools required
🔹 No slippage during cross-chain transfers
🔹 Designed with a seamless upgrade path to native USDC in the future
The new implementation aims to deliver a more secure and efficient cross-chain USDC experience for the Astar ecosystem.
