How native USDC works

Native USDC is issuer-created USDC on a supported blockchain, distinguished from a bridge-issued wrapped representation. Matching the ticker alone may miss this difference.

Choose the token version your receiving app actually recognizes.

Example

Assume a burn-and-mint transfer delivers 450 native units and a cost worth 2 units is paid separately. Delivery remains 450; economic value after that cost is 450 - 2 = 448 units. These invented inputs do not state a live protocol fee.

Common mistakes

  • Depositing a wrapped version because its display ticker resembles the native asset.
