Question 1

Can I bridge Arbitrum to USDC without an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There's no sign-up, no email and no identity check. All we need is the Ethereum address you want the USDC sent to. A recovery key is generated locally so you can find this transfer again later — it controls no funds and you can ignore it.

Question 2

Do I need to connect a wallet to bridge Arbitrum to USDC?

Accepted Answer

No, and you couldn't if you wanted to: Arbitrum has no EVM to sign against, so this transfer works by sending ARB to a deposit address from wherever you already hold it — your own wallet, an exchange, a hardware device. That's precisely why this pair works here and doesn't on wallet-first aggregators.

Question 3

How long does a Arbitrum to USDC transfer take?

Accepted Answer

The median across all pairs is 28s, measured from transfers that actually settled. This particular pair depends on how fast Arbitrum confirms your deposit — the form shows a live estimate for the route you pick before you commit to anything.

Question 4

What does it cost to bridge Arbitrum to USDC?

Accepted Answer

You see the exact figure before you send, not after. The receipt lists the router's fee, gas on Ethereum, and our own fee where we take one, then a total in dollars and as a percentage of what you're sending. That total is always what you send minus what you receive, so you can verify it against the two amounts yourself.
