Circle Gateway unlocks seamless crosschain USDC access, no bridging, no delays. Unified liquidity, instant transfers, and full asset control across chains.
Today’s multichain landscape poses fundamental challenges to mainstream adoption. Blockchains inherently operate in silos, which means users holding USDC on one chain like Ethereum cannot access it on another like Solana without a series of crosschain bridging steps. For many users, this creates a confusing experience that degrades usability and hinders broader adoption.
To support customer demand, businesses like payment service providers, exchanges, and crosschain solvers are forced to pre-position liquidity across chains and manage multiple balances, often leading to overfunding. These constraints reduce capital efficiency, increase operational overhead, and introduce costly execution delays.
Introducing Circle Gateway
Circle Gateway is a new crosschain primitive that enables a unified USDC balance for instant crosschain liquidity.
With Gateway, users deposit USDC into a non-custodial smart contract to create a unified balance that can be accessed in real-time across supported chains. No more manual bridging or relying on third-party liquidity.
- For end users, this means frictionless 1-click crosschain experiences without needing to switch networks or move assets manually.
- For businesses, this enables just-in-time liquidity on any supported chain, streamlining operations and improving capital efficiency.
Building the new global financial system
Gateway makes it possible to build experiences where access to USDC is truly instant, universal, and chain-agnostic, while users retain full ownership and control of their assets.
Gateway is coming soon to Avalanche, Base, and Ethereum testnets in July, with more blockchains to follow. We welcome all builders seeking to abstract crosschain complexity away from users.
