More about Solana → Unichain
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 Unichain, USDC typically takes about 1 minute 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); Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint on Unichain.
On Solana, our server builds one atomic transaction (fee + burn) and pays the SOL network fee and rent as fee payer — you just sign. On Unichain, Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint for you, so the recipient doesn't need any ETH for gas on Unichain.
CCTP burns and re-mints instead of using a pool, so there's no slippage and no wrapped token. Learn about CCTP.
