  2. If Circle's Fast Transfer allowance is used up, it settles as a standard transfer instead (Circle's standard attestation average from Solana: ~25 seconds).
  3. Stellar recipients need a USDC trustline; for your own Stellar wallet, the one-time setup is added to your first transfer's fee.

How it works

  3. MintThe same amount of native USDC is minted on Stellar.
More about Solana → Stellar

Solana supports CCTP V2 Fast Transfer, so Circle attests the burn after soft finality instead of waiting for full finality. If Circle's Fast Transfer allowance is used up, it settles as a standard transfer instead, with Circle's standard attestation average from Solana at ~25 seconds. From Solana to Stellar, USDC typically takes about 2 minutes with Fast Transfer (Circle's average attestation from Solana: ~8 seconds), or longer if Circle's Fast Transfer allowance is used up (Circle's standard-transfer attestation average from Solana: ~25 seconds); our relayer submits the mint on Stellar.

On Solana, our server builds one atomic transaction (fee + burn) and pays the SOL network fee and rent as fee payer — you just sign. Stellar isn't covered by Circle's Forwarding Service, so our relayer submits the mint on Stellar and pays the XLM gas; that cost is included in the quote.

Stellar recipients need a USDC trustline. When you send to someone else's Stellar address it must be an activated G… account that already trusts Circle's USDC; when you first move USDC to your own Stellar wallet, we set it up for you and the one-time setup cost (the XLM reserve for the account and its USDC trustline) is added to that transfer's fee, shown before you confirm.

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

How to move USDC from Solana to Stellar

  1. Sign in. Sign in with a one-time email code; no password is needed. You get a wallet on EVM chains, Solana and Stellar, with no seed phrase.
  2. Have USDC on Solana. Deposit USDC on Solana or use what's there. In your sendstables wallet you don't need any SOL for gas.
  3. Pick the route. On Swap chains, pick Solana → Stellar and enter the amount. To pay someone else, use Send and paste their address.
  4. Review the quote. Check our fee, Circle's fees and the minimum you'll receive. The fee is fixed once you confirm.
  5. Confirm. USDC is burned on Solana, Circle attests it, and native USDC is minted on Stellar.
