About this route
What USDC (Ethereum) to USDC (Arbitrum) actually does
This route delivers native USDC on Arbitrum (contract 0xaf88…5831), not the older bridged USDC.e that some applications still use.
Arbitrum has two USDC tokens: native USDC issued by Circle and USDC.e, bridged from Ethereum before native issuance existed. Most applications now use native USDC, which is what this route pays out.

Before you send
Three checks that prevent most mistakes
The receiving address
Your Ethereum address normally works on Arbitrum. Confirm the receiving application expects native USDC rather than USDC.e.
The refund address
The refund address must be an Ethereum address that can receive USDC.
Support will never ask for a seed phrase or private key. TorrentSwap only ever needs public addresses.
FAQ
USDC (Ethereum) to USDC (Arbitrum): common questions
What is the difference between USDC and USDC.e on Arbitrum?
USDC is issued directly on Arbitrum by Circle. USDC.e is a bridged representation of Ethereum USDC. They have different contracts and are not automatically interchangeable.
Will I need ETH on Arbitrum?
Only to move the USDC afterwards. A small amount of ETH on Arbitrum covers many transactions.
How long does USDC (Ethereum) to USDC (Arbitrum) take?
Typically about 1–3 min from sending your deposit to the payout. NEAR Intents: about 1–3 min; Chainflip: about 1–3 min; Flashnet: about 1–3 min. The time is driven mostly by how long Ethereum takes to confirm the deposit, and each live quote shows that protocol's own estimate.
What fees do I pay to swap USDC (Ethereum) to USDC (Arbitrum)?
The platform fee, the executing protocol's fee and network fees are all already included in every quote, so the amount you see is what you should receive, and a protected minimum applies: if a protocol cannot deliver at least that, it refunds your deposit instead. Your own wallet charges the normal network fee to send the deposit.
Do I need an account or KYC to swap USDC (Ethereum) to USDC (Arbitrum)?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and no email to give — you only enter the receiving address and a refund address. The protocols that execute swaps can apply their own compliance screening, for example against sanctioned addresses.
What happens if the swap cannot complete?
If a protocol cannot fill your swap within the protected minimum, it refunds the deposit to your refund address. The refund address must be an Ethereum address that can receive USDC.
