Bridged USDC Standard Onboarding

VIA Labs supports Circle's Bridged USDC Standard by offering a full onboarding program into the standard. Upon integration, the Bridged USDC Standard serves as a 1:1 USDC-backed stablecoin on a blockchain network.

Following the standard provides Circle with a path to upgrade to native USDC and enable deeper ecosystem interactions and opportunities.
