Wormhole integrates the Circle cross-chain transfer protocol, allowing developers to write universal messages for cross-chain native USDC transfers

ChainCatcher news, the cross-chain bridge Wormhole has announced a partnership with USDC issuer Circle to launch a new contract integrated with Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). This allows developers to write generic messages on top of cross-chain native USDC transfers and burn and mint native USDC on supported chains. Developers can build cross-chain native swaps, cross-chain USDC transfers, lending protocols, DEXs, yield aggregators, and more on this contract. Users can enjoy zero slippage trading and transfer messages without paying gas fees on the target chain. Currently, this integration is live on the testnet. (source link)
