How fast can you move USDC across blockchains? With CCTP Fast Transfer, crosschain USDC transfers that once took minutes now complete in seconds. In this episode of Stablecoin 101, Blessing Adesiji explains how Circle’s latest upgrade makes “faster-than-finality” transfers possible — safely and securely. 💡 You’ll learn: - How CCTP Fast Transfer speeds up crosschain USDC movement - The role of Fast Transfer Allowance in helping to protect security and collateral - How developers can use Hooks to trigger automated onchain actions - Why this upgrade changes the experience of using USDC across ecosystems - Faster. Safer. This is what interoperability looks like in motion.

Bridge Kit Arcshop Introducing Bridge Kit — a new developer toolkit designed to make it dramatically easier to integrate CCTP and build crosschain USDC experiences. Circle engineers Dave Musicant and Tobias Golbs will walk through how Bridge Kit abstracts away complex chain logic, wallet providers, and app-level workflows, allowing developers to launch crosschain features faster and more reliably. You’ll learn how to integrate crosschain USDC flows in under 10 lines of code and see how developers can implement built-in monetization using the FeeTaker method. The session includes a full live demo, featuring: - Arc → Ethereum USDC transfers on testnet - Switching to Arc → Solana with near-zero code changes - Using Circle Wallets via adapter - Adding developer fees to your own wallet - We’ll highlight improvements to developer experience, setup time, composability, and mainnet deployment. The engineers will also cover available resources including tutorials, documentation, and community support.
