Will I receive exactly the USDC I send?

Close to it. A small amount goes to network and bridge fees, and the table shows the exact USDC that lands on Arbitrum so you can compare the net across providers.

Is this cheaper than moving USDC through Ethereum?

Usually, yes. A direct L2 to L2 route skips mainnet gas entirely, which is where most of the cost would otherwise go.

Move USDC from Base to Arbitrum

Sending USDC from Base to Arbitrum keeps the same token on both sides, and because both are Ethereum L2s, it is one of the cheaper moves you can make. All four providers quote it: LI.FI, Relay, deBridge and Squid.

The table shows the exact amount of USDC that arrives on Arbitrum, the estimated time and the fees per route, our 0.08% commission already in the figure. With a stablecoin, the number you receive is easy to read against what you sent.

Same-token L2 to L2 routes usually price very tight, but the four providers still differ, and on a larger transfer even a fraction of a percent is real money. That is why comparing beats guessing which one is best today.

You sign from your own wallet on both ends. Funds never pass through us. Your wallet, your funds.
