Question 1

How long does USDC take to bridge from Ethereum to Linea?

Accepted Answer

The configured Standard attestation estimate is ~13 to 19 minutes. The Fast estimate, when available, is ~20 seconds. These describe source attestation, not guaranteed end-to-end delivery. The destination claim on Linea, network congestion and wallet approval add time.

Question 2

How many confirmations are needed on Ethereum?

Accepted Answer

The app uses 65 source confirmations for Standard and 2 for Fast. These are source-network requirements for Circle's attestation; they are separate from the transaction that mints USDC on Linea.

Question 3

Can I use Fast for Ethereum to Linea?

Accepted Answer

The app supports Fast transfers from Ethereum. Live allowance, pricing and network conditions can affect availability; review the selector and quote before confirming.

Question 4

Which wallets and gas tokens do I need?

Accepted Answer

Use a compatible EVM wallet holding native USDC on Ethereum and ETH for the source transaction. The recipient must be a compatible EVM address on Linea. To claim yourself, connect the destination wallet and keep ETH there for destination gas.

Question 5

What fees apply to this route?

Accepted Answer

Budget for source gas in ETH on Ethereum and destination claim gas in ETH on Linea. Fast can also include Circle's Fast fee and an application fee deducted from USDC. Review the live fee breakdown and received amount before approving; gas is separate.

Question 6

Will I receive native USDC on Linea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CCTP burns native USDC on Ethereum and mints native USDC on Linea. It does not send a wrapped representation. Select native USDC on the source network rather than a bridged token with a similar name.

Question 7

What if my Ethereum to Linea transfer is pending?

Accepted Answer

Use Find transfer with Ethereum as the source and your source transaction hash. A transfer may be waiting for source confirmations, Circle's attestation, or a claim on Linea. Once attestation is ready, connect the destination wallet to continue an outstanding claim.
