Circle Internet Financial has announced the integration of USDC, the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), and Programmable Wallets on the Unichain mainnet, providing developers with a comprehensive platform to create innovative onchain applications. Unichain, a new Layer 2 EVM blockchain on the Optimism Superchain, offers low-cost, near-instant transactions and extensive liquidity, aiming to become a hub for decentralized finance (DeFi) activities. USDC enhances liquidity and user confidence in digital asset trading, forming liquid trading pairs on major platforms like Uniswap across various blockchains. The Circle platform supports developers with tools for building secure, scalable apps, including a smart contract platform, and facilitates cross-chain transactions without locking liquidity. Additionally, Programmable Wallets provide flexible infrastructure for global users, streamlining DeFi trading. Businesses can also utilize on/off-ramps for fiat-to-USDC conversion, with Circle's network offering easy access to USDC for individuals and small businesses.
