Cross-chain functionality on Algorand has officially launched. Users can now easily bridge USDC from multiple public chains such as Solana, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Sui, Stellar, and others to the Algorand network. This not only enhances Algorand's liquidity but also opens up new possibilities for interoperability across the entire ecosystem. As more DeFi applications are deployed across multiple chains, such cross-chain bridging infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. Users now have more options and can transfer stablecoins more flexibly between different chains to participate in various applications within the Algorand ecosystem. This is an important step towards making ecosystem connectivity more open and efficient.
