Question 1

How long does USDC take to bridge from Solana to Cronos?

Accepted Answer

The configured Standard attestation estimate is ~25 seconds. The Fast estimate, when available, is ~8 seconds. These describe source attestation, not guaranteed end-to-end delivery. The destination claim on Cronos, network congestion and wallet approval add time.

Question 2

How many confirmations are needed on Solana?

Accepted Answer

The app uses 32 source confirmations for Standard and 3 for Fast. These are source-network requirements for Circle's attestation; they are separate from the transaction that mints USDC on Cronos.

Question 3

Can I use Fast for Solana to Cronos?

Accepted Answer

The app supports Fast transfers from Solana. 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 Solana wallet holding native USDC on Solana and SOL for the source transaction. The recipient must be a compatible EVM address on Cronos. To claim yourself, connect the destination wallet and keep CRO there for destination gas.

Question 5

What fees apply to this route?

Accepted Answer

Budget for source gas in SOL on Solana and destination claim gas in CRO on Cronos. 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 Cronos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CCTP burns native USDC on Solana and mints native USDC on Cronos. 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 Solana to Cronos transfer is pending?

Accepted Answer

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