Arbitrage ApeLiquidity desk

Bridge to Arc

USDC or USDG in on Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum or Robinhood Chain, native USDC out on Arc (chain 5042). Circle's own CCTP moves it, no wrapped token, no gas needed on Arc. The ape keeps 0.20%, paid to the vault and its holders.

How it works
  1. Your wallet approves the exact amount to the Arbitrage Ape bridge contract on Base, 0x6d6f…1b3d. Check that spender in the wallet: nothing else is ever asked for.
  2. One transaction: the contract sends the 0.20% fee to the vault and hands the rest to Circle's CCTP, which burns it.
  3. Circle attests the burn within a minute (a fast transfer), then mints native USDC on Arc to your recipient, keeping its $0.05 delivery fee plus 0.02% for the fast transfer out of the amount. No gas is needed on Arc.
  4. If Circle's forwarder does not mint it, the desk's own claimer submits the attested message on Arc (allow up to a day); an expired fast-transfer attestation is re-signed first. The transfer tracker above says which is happening.

USDC on Arc is the chain's gas coin: what arrives already pays for your first transactions there. "Add to wallet" puts Arc (chain 5042) in your wallet so the balance shows up.
