Bridges & Onramps on Arc· 10
As of 28 September 2026, Built on Arc tracks 10 bridges & onramps projects on Circle's Arc blockchain: 8 live on mainnet, 0 on testnet, 2 announced. Across, Coins.PH and LayerZero are the ones observed working on mainnet.
Getting USDC onto Arc is the first thing almost everyone does, which makes this the category where accuracy matters most and where impersonation clusters hardest. Circle's own rails — CCTP, which moves USDC by burn-and-mint, and Gateway, which provides a chain-agnostic balance — are the canonical routes.
Third-party interoperability protocols have been named in ecosystem coverage, but as of 2 September 2026 Arc's own developer documentation listed no third-party bridging vendors. Circle's CCTP V2 and Gateway contracts are deployed on Arc mainnet (domain 26). Entries record what each provider actually supports and at what scope. Step-by-step bridging instructions are not ours — those sit with Meme Central.

Questions
Is native USDC different from a bridged token?
Yes. Native issuance and canonical crosschain transfer avoid the wrapped-asset risk that a third-party bridge introduces. The entry sentence states which one a route uses.
Do you assess bridge security?
No. We record deployment, contract verification and published audits with dates and links. Read them yourself before moving funds.
How is status decided?
Status reflects what we observed on the date shown, not what a project announced. Every entry carries a dated source you can open and check yourself. Live can become Inactive if activity stops.
