Bridge USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum
1 USDC = 1 USDCall-in 0.000%
One transaction from Ethereum to Arbitrum. Routes are ranked by the amount that arrives, not by the headline rate.
Why move USDC to Arbitrum?
Moving USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum is not a trade — the asset on both ends is the same. What you are paying for is transport, so the only number that matters is how much arrives.
That framing changes what a good route looks like. A venue quoting a tight "price" is irrelevant here; what counts is the spread between what you send and what lands, plus the gas on both sides. We rank on exactly that.

Cost by size
all-in, measured| Amount | SODAX | LI.FI | Better |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 USDC | 0.000% | 0.269% | SODAX |
| 1,000 USDC | 0.000% | 0.261% | SODAX |
| 10,000 USDC | 0.010% | 0.251% | SODAX |
| 30,000 USDC | 0.423% | 0.250% | LI.FI |
Measured live. SODAX is cheaper at smaller sizes; from about 30,000 USDC the other route wins, and we say so rather than burying it.
Intent liquidity is finite. On stablecoin corridors the all-in cost is lowest between about $100 and $1,000, rises past $5,000, and above roughly $30,000 the API returns no route at all. That is a real constraint, not a disclaimer.
We show it rather than hide it: when a size stops being well served here, the comparison puts another route first.
How to bridge it
- 01Check the quote first
The rate, the fees and the amount that lands are on this page before you connect anything.
- 02Open the app and connect your wallet
MetaMask, Rabby and WalletConnect all work. Gas on Ethereum is paid in ETH, so keep a little.
- 03Approve the exact amount
We request an allowance matching the amount you entered — not an unlimited approval. Native gas tokens skip this step entirely.
- 04Sign one transaction
The intent is created on Ethereum, relayed to the hub and filled on Arbitrum. You sign once; there is no second transaction on the destination side.
- 05Receive USDC on Arbitrum
Usually ~4 min. Ethereum confirms in ~3 min; Arbitrum in ~40 s.
The path your funds take
The route is Ethereum → Sonic hub → Arbitrum. SODAX is hub-and-spoke: Ethereum and Arbitrum are spokes, Sonic is the hub, and value passes through it rather than through a chain of third-party bridges.
You declare the outcome — the minimum USDC you will accept — and independent solvers compete to fill it. If nobody can meet your terms the intent fails and you keep your USDC. There is no state where the swap half-completes.

Questions
How long does bridge usdc from ethereum to arbitrum take?
Usually ~4 min. Ethereum finalises in ~3 min and Arbitrum in ~40 s; the intent settles once the source transaction is confirmed.
Do I need an account or KYC?
No. There is no registration, no email and no identity check. You sign from your own wallet and nothing is ever held on your behalf.
What are the fees?
A 0.1% solver fee applies on SODAX routes, and we add no platform fee on top of them. Gas on Ethereum is paid in ETH and is separate. The comparison shows the amount after everything.
Is there a maximum amount?
Yes. Very large swaps can return no route; on stablecoin corridors that starts somewhere above $30,000.
Do I need gas on Arbitrum?
Not to receive. You pay gas on Ethereum in ETH. You will need a little ETH on Arbitrum before you can move the USDC onward.
What if it fails?
Settlement is terminal: an intent either solves or fails. On failure the funds stay where they started — there is no partial fill to unwind.
