Circle Integrates Full Infrastructure on Monad Blockchain
Circle, the issuer of the regulated USDC stablecoin, is launching its full infrastructure on the Monad blockchain. The integration includes USDC, Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2, Circle Wallets, and Circle Contracts. This move aims to support more capital-efficient applications on Monad’s network.
The integration offers developers and institutions access to industry-leading infrastructure and the widely recognized USDC digital dollar.
Monad’s Advantages as a Layer-1 Blockchain
Monad is a Layer-1 blockchain combining full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility with high transaction throughput. This hybrid model delivers speed, scalability, and low costs while maintaining Ethereum-level security.
Monad is designed for building decentralized finance (DeFi), trading, and digital payment applications.
Benefits of Circle’s Integration on Monad
- Native USDC provides a fully reserved and regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.
- CCTP V2 enables secure and efficient cross-chain transfers of USDC with capital efficiency.
- Circle Wallets give developers embedded and backend wallet solutions for multi-chain user experiences from one codebase.
- Gas Station easing gas fees lets developers pay transaction costs to improve user experience.
- Circle Contracts offer audited smart contract templates, APIs, and management tools to simplify development and deployment.
This foundation supports major use cases on Monad, including DeFi, trading, and digital payments. USDC serves as collateral, settlement, and liquidity in swaps and lending. Integration with CCTP V2 enhances interoperability, enabling faster and more secure asset transfers across blockchains.
