Summary

Circle has introduced upfront fee payment for CCTP Fast Transfers, allowing developers to quote and collect protocol fees before a crosschain USDC transfer is executed, either in the source chain’s native gas token or in USDC. The change is intended to make transfer outcomes predictable by ensuring users receive the full expected USDC amount on the destination chain rather than having fees deducted after arrival. Through the Quote API, developers can obtain a single bundled quote covering Fast Transfer and Forwarding fees, reducing the need to independently calculate protocol charges across chains. The feature is available for transfers originating on CCTP-supported EVM chains, with transfers to Solana supported but transfers from Solana not yet available. Circle notes that CCTP is non-custodial infrastructure, transfers are irreversible, quoted fees are estimates that may vary, and users remain subject to risks including volatility and smart-contract, relay, and bridge vulnerabilities.
