Bridge USDC from Base → Arc on the new official domain:
This is the supported USDC on-ramp for uarc. Prefer this URL going forward. Legacy hosts remain live without a hard redirect so wallet risk scores don’t chain — but announce and bookmark
How it works (non-custodial):
Connect on Base and deposit USDC into Circle’s GatewayWallet
Wait for Circle finality (about 13–19 minutes — ETH L1 blocks, not Base L2 blocks)
Your wallet asks for one Circle EIP-712 burn authorization — that signature is the claim (there is no separate Claim button)
Our relayer submits gatewayMint on Arc and pays the gas
uarc never holds your key or your USDC. Funds move only through Circle’s public Gateway contracts. Platform fee is 0; only Circle’s own transfer fee applies.
Official contracts — verify before you sign:
