In recent weeks, Centre Consortium has announced official new chains for USDC, bringing the ultimate standard of digital dollars to new blockchains and developer ecosystems. Developers are now empowered to take advantage of the speed, scalability and cost-efficiency provided by 3rd generation public chains, as well as the robust ecosystems built on top of them.
Circle’s products and APIs are part of the full stack solution and innovation happening in public blockchain infrastructure — whether it be in transaction scaling and throughput, or features specific to key use-cases such as financial applications, gaming and commerce, developers and businesses need intuitive tools to build upon payments, commerce and financial use cases using USDC on public chains.
Multi-Chain USDC is native to all of Circle’s products across payment acceptance, global payouts, custody and digital dollar accounts infrastructure. Developers can now take USDC implementations a step further by enabling compatibility with protocols optimized for specific use cases on officially supported chains:
Decentralized finance. Currently supported via APIs and Circle Account.
Enterprise scale financial applications. Currently supported via APIs, support for Circle Account coming soon.
DeFi, Decentralized Exchanges and Trading. Support for APIs and Circle Account coming by January 2021.
