USDC Transfers
Agents send USDC to EVM addresses on the Arc Network. Transfers are gas abstracted. Arc uses USDC as the native gas token, so agents don’t need a separate token for gas fees. Every transfer is:- Policy-checked: Validated against per-transaction and cumulative spending limits
- Audited: Logged in the tamper-proof audit trail
- Idempotent: Protected against duplicate execution via the
Idempotency-Keyheader
How It Works
1
Estimate fees
Estimate the gas cost without spending:The response returns real time gas estimates (low, medium, high) and checks balance sufficiency.
2
Execute the transfer
Submit the transfer with an idempotency key and nonce:
3
Confirm the result
A successful transfer returns the transaction ID and state:
Transfer Parameters
Gas Abstraction
On the Arc Network, USDC is the native gas token. This means:- No need to hold ETH or any other token for gas
- Gas fees are deducted directly from the USDC balance
- Typical transfer gas costs are fractions of a cent
