Cross-chain swap
Cross-chain swap for Stellar USDC
Move native USDC between Stellar and Ethereum with Circle CCTP — without custodial bridges. Pair it with Stellar DEX aggregation when you need a best-price on-chain leg first.
How a StellarRoute cross-chain swap works
- 1. Choose the corridor. Pick Stellar → Ethereum or Ethereum → Stellar for native USDC via CCTP.
- 2. Quote and review. StellarRoute shows the burn/mint path, fees, and attestation wait — including Fast vs Standard finality when available.
- 3. Sign in your wallets. Authorize the Stellar burn (or EVM burn) and destination mint. Keys stay in your wallets.
Why traders look for Stellar cross-chain swaps here
- Native USDC, not wrapped IOUs — Circle CCTP burns and mints the canonical USDC on each side.
- Same product as Stellar DEX routing — aggregate SDEX + Soroban, then bridge when the destination is another chain.
- Signed-live testnet proof — both directions have public mint evidence on Sepolia and Stellar Testnet.
Cross-chain swap FAQ
- What is a Stellar cross-chain swap?
- A Stellar cross-chain swap moves value between Stellar and another network. On StellarRoute, the live corridor uses Circle CCTP to burn and mint native USDC between Stellar Testnet and Ethereum Sepolia.
- Which chains does StellarRoute support today?
- Stellar-native swaps run on the Stellar SDEX and Soroban AMMs. Cross-chain USDC currently targets the Stellar ↔ Ethereum Sepolia CCTP corridor, with public mainnet enablement operator-gated.
- Do I give up custody during a cross-chain swap?
- No. You authorize each step from your wallets. StellarRoute prepares the route; Freighter (or another Stellar wallet) and an EVM wallet sign their respective steps.
