  • Youโ€™re chilling with some USDC on Polygon. ๐Ÿ’ธ
  • You connect your wallet to a CCTP-enabled app.
  • You click to send USDC to your buddyโ€™s address on Avalanche. ๐Ÿ‘‹
  • The USDC gets burned ๐Ÿ”ฅon Polygon behind the scenes.
  • Circle watches the burn and gives the thumbs up. ๐Ÿ‘
  • The same amount of USDC is minted on Avalanche. ๐Ÿฆ
  • Your friend waves goodbye to their empty wallet. ๐Ÿ‘‹

Now your USDC has teleported between chains like itโ€™s no big deal! ๐Ÿช„

With this cross-chain plumbing in place, developers can create magical user experiences:

  • Swap tokens between L2s in one click
  • Deposit ETH on Polygon to trade on Aave on Avalanche
