Circle Launches Native USDC now available on zkSync
Previously, users had to bridge USDC from Ethereum to zkSync, which involved additional steps and potential delays. Now, with native USDC available on zkSync, users can enjoy the benefits of zkSync’s layer 2 scaling solution without the need for bridging
His move marks a significant advancement in the usability and accessibility of the popular stablecoin within the Ethereum ecosystem. With this integration, Circle Mint and Circle API are now fully compatible with USDC on zkSync, offering users seamless access to fast and efficient transactions.
Previously, users had to bridge USDC from Ethereum to zkSync, which involved additional steps and potential delays. Now, with native USDC available on zkSync, users can enjoy the benefits of zkSync’s layer 2 scaling solution without the need for bridging. This simplifies the user experience and streamlines the process of interacting with USDC on zkSync.
For users familiar with the bridging process, the token symbol for bridged USDC from Ethereum remains as “USDC.e,” with the mainnet address provided. However, with native USDC issued directly by Circle, the token symbol simply remains as “USDC,” with corresponding mainnet and testnet addresses provided for convenience.
The availability of native USDC on zkSync opens up new possibilities for users looking to leverage the benefits of layer 2 scaling solutions. With zkSync’s focus on security, scalability, and low transaction fees, users can expect faster transaction times and lower costs compared to on-chain transactions on the Ethereum network.
