More about Injective → Arc

Injective reaches finality quickly, so a standard CCTP transfer is already fast, with no Fast Transfer fee. From Injective to Arc, USDC typically takes about 1 minute as a standard transfer (Circle's average attestation from Injective: under a second); Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint on Arc.

On Injective, with your sendstables wallet the fee payment, approval and burn are gas-sponsored, so you don't need any INJ for gas — just the USDC you're sending. If you connect your own EVM wallet instead, it pays the INJ gas for those transactions. On Arc, Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint for you, so the recipient doesn't need any USDC for gas on Arc.

CCTP burns and re-mints instead of using a pool, so there's no slippage and no wrapped token. Learn about CCTP.
