FAQ

Yes, Noble USDC is native to the Noble appchain, which is part of the Cosmos ecosystem, as shown on this block explorer.

Noble is an appchain purpose-built for native asset issuance in Cosmos. Dozens of appchains are able to access USDC issued on Noble via an integration leveraging IBC that is simple, safe and seamless. Bringing USDC natively to Cosmos via Noble enables developers and users to benefit from a fully reserved, dollar-backed stablecoin that’s always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars.

Please note that Circle Account and Circle APIs only support Noble USDC from the Cosmos ecosystem. This means you must transfer USDC from your Circle Account to an external Noble wallet address prior to using IBC. Additionally, if you transfer USDC from Noble to other appchains via IBC, you must transfer back to Noble via IBC prior to depositing into your Circle Account.

Please do not attempt to deposit IBC-transferred USDC from an appchain other than Noble to your Circle Account, as it may not be recoverable and could result in a loss of funds.

No. Circle Account only supports native USDC on Noble.

If you transfer USDC from Noble to other appchains via IBC, you must transfer back to Noble via IBC prior to depositing into your Circle Account.

Please do not attempt to send IBC-transferred USDC from an appchain other than Noble to your Circle Account, as it may not be recoverable and could result in a loss of funds.

Yes. USDC is natively issued on Noble, which is part of the Cosmos ecosystem. This means when USDC is transferred from Noble to other appchains via IBC, it will become IBC-transferred USDC.

With Noble’s IBC routing, users can seamlessly send Noble USDC between appchains without losing the fungibility of the native USDC asset. For example, if a user sends USDC from Noble to Osmosis via IBC, then takes that asset to dYdX, the asset is no longer fungible with USDC sent directly from Noble. While IBC paths ensure a stable connection to the native asset on the origin (or issuance) chain, it can also create complexities for the user if the path becomes more than 1 hop away from the origin chain.

To solve this UX challenge, Noble leverages packet-forwarding technology to enable asset transfers between IBC-connected chains in “1 click”. When a user wants to send their asset from one chain to another, the asset is routed through Noble, thus ensuring a consistent “1 hop” route for USDC among different IBC paths.

Example scenarios:

Sending USDC from Noble to Osmosis = Noble → Osmosis
Sending IBC-transferred USDC from Osmosis to dYdX = Osmosis → Noble → dYdX
Sending IBC-transferred USDC from dYdX to Osmosis = dYdX → Noble → Osmosis

The user experience is the same for all transfers due to packet-forwarding technology, providing a “1 click” experience.

Yes, Noble USDC can be quickly and easily swapped to USDC on any other supported blockchain with Circle Account and Circle APIs.

Please do not attempt to send IBC-transferred USDC from an appchain other than Noble to your Circle Account, as it may not be recoverable and could result in a loss of funds.
