Circle's CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) launched on Stellar, enabling 1:1 USDC bridging across 18+ networks with zero fees. Users transfer USDC instantly via crossmesh.xyz beta. Developers integrate CCTP directly into dApps through Circle's developer documentation.
Circle's CCTP launched on Stellar, opening native 1:1 USDC bridging across 18+ networks with zero transfer fees. The protocol burns tokens on the source chain to authorize minting on the destination, creating an efficient bridge mechanism. Two onboarding paths are now available: users can transfer funds directly via the crossmesh.xyz beta platform supporting 18 networks, while developers can integrate CCTP directly into dApps using Circle's Stellar integration documentation. This reduces onboarding friction and enables seamless cross-network fund movement without the gas costs and slippage typical of DEX-based bridging solutions.
