Welcome to Confluence
Move USDC in and out of Arc, and pay anyone by @name.
Confluence is built for teams and builders on Arc, Circle’s blockchain. Bring USDC onto Arc from other chains, send it back out, and pay contributors by their Confluence ID instead of a long address. Native USDC moves through Circle’s CCTP, and other chains and tokens through Relay. You connect your own wallet, choose where your money should go, and sign each step yourself.
Confluence never holds your funds. Every transfer is signed by you, in your own wallet, and moves directly between you and the underlying protocols. We never see your private keys and can’t move your money for you.
What you can do
- Pay people by name. Claim a Confluence ID like
@yournameand anyone can send you USDC without copying a long address. Payments from Arc to an ID are free, and you can share a pay link or QR code to get paid. - Bridge USDC into and out of Arc, and between other supported chains, using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Your USDC is burned on the chain you send from and freshly minted on the chain you send to, so it’s always native USDC, never a wrapped copy.
- Use Relay routes for bridges and swaps across the wider set of chains and tokens that Relay supports, from the same Bridge and Swap pages.
- Swap tokens on the same chain, through Circle’s App Kit.
- Keep track of everything in your Profile: your history, your saved recipients, and your Confluence ID.
Where to start
What you need
- A crypto wallet, such as a browser wallet extension or a mobile wallet that supports WalletConnect.
- The USDC (or token) you want to move, on the chain you’re sending from.
- A little of that chain’s gas token to pay network fees. On Arc, gas is paid in USDC.
Transactions on a blockchain are final. Always check the destination chain and recipient before you confirm.
