How to Transfer USDC from an Avalanche L1 to C-Chain via the Bridge App?

Prerequisites

• A USDC interchain exchange/bridge must already be established between Avalanche C-Chain and the L1. Refer to How to Set Up an Interchain Transfer for USDC Between Avalanche C-Chain and an L1?
• Your wallet must have the USDC token to be transferred.
• Your wallet must contain AVAX tokens and gas tokens of the L1 to cover transaction fees.

Step-by-Step Transfer Instructions

1. Go to bridge.avacloud.io and connect your Core Extension wallet. Make sure you’re on the correct Testnet or Mainnet.

   

2. Under the From section, click Select Network (top right) and choose your Avalanche L1 (e.g., qr1016t1tp).

   

3. After clicking on Select Token button, pick USDC as the token and enter the amount you want to transfer.

   

   The amount can be specified anytime.

4. In the To section, click Select Network and choose Avalanche C-Chain as the destination.

   

5. In this example, as we are currently on the Avalanche C-Chain, we would need to switch to qr1016t1tp first after clicking on the Switch network button.

   

6. Click the Bridge button to initiate the transfer.

   

7. Approve the USDC token and specified transfer amount.

   

8. After approval, click Confirm on AvaCloud Portal, and approve the transaction in the Core Extension. USDC will be sent from the specified L1 (e.g., qr1016t1tp) to C-Chain.

   

9. Once the transfer is complete, a success screen will display transaction links and the recipient address for verification.

   

In addition, the transferred USDC should be visible in the wallet on the Avalanche C-Chain.
