Sonic is made to be fast, grow big, and work well for crypto payments and apps.
 

USDC.e on Sonic Network

USDC.e is the bridged version of USDC on the Sonic network, facilitated through the Sonic Gateway, which connects to Ethereum for asset transfers. This stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, is designed for seamless integration, with developers and users benefiting from a single contract address that persists through potential upgrades to native USDC, reducing fragmentation, as noted in Sonic integrates Circle’s bridged USDC.

This means you can manage your USDC.e stablecoin and other assets directly from these wallets, facilitating seamless interactions with services like Cryptorefills for cashing out or purchasing items.
