More about XDC → Sonic
XDC reaches finality quickly, so a standard CCTP transfer is already fast, with no Fast Transfer fee. From XDC to Sonic, USDC typically takes about 1 minute as a standard transfer (Circle's average attestation from XDC: ~10 seconds); Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint on Sonic.
On XDC, with your sendstables wallet the fee payment, approval and burn are gas-sponsored, so you don't need any XDC for gas — just the USDC you're sending. If you connect your own EVM wallet instead, it pays the XDC gas for those transactions. On Sonic, Circle's Forwarding Service submits the mint for you, so the recipient doesn't need any S for gas on Sonic.
CCTP burns and re-mints instead of using a pool, so there's no slippage and no wrapped token. Learn about CCTP.
