Choose a Route
If you hold funds in a Coinbase account, you can withdraw many assets straight onto the Base network — select Base as the network when withdrawing, no bridge required. This is often the fastest path for USDC and ETH.
USDC on Base
USDC on Base is issued natively by Circle. Use the native USDC contract for new integrations. Circle publishes the canonical address for every network on its USDC contract addresses page.
USDbC is the earlier bridged form of USDC. It is a Standard Bridge token: Ethereum USDC (
0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48) is locked on L1 and USDbC is minted on Base by the L2StandardBridge predeploy (0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000010). Circle does not issue USDbC, and it is a separate token from native USDC. To move from USDbC to native USDC, swap it onchain, or withdraw it to Ethereum through the Standard Bridge. The Superchain token list records the USDbC mapping.
To move native USDC between Base and other networks, use Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). CCTP burns USDC on the source chain and mints native USDC on the destination chain, so no bridged representation is created. Base is CCTP domain 6. For the list of supported chains, see CCTP supported blockchains.
Other Stablecoins
Circle also issues EURC, a euro stablecoin, natively on Base:
Confirm addresses on the issuer’s own page (EURC contract addresses) before you integrate. Stablecoins created with the B20 Stablecoin variant carry a self-declared
currency() code; B20 checks the format of that code, not the issuer or its reserves.
From Ethereum
Bridge ETH and supported ERC-20s between Ethereum mainnet (L1) and Base. Both providers support mainnet and Sepolia testnet.Superbridge
Bridge ETH and supported assets from L1 to Base. Testnet
Brid.gg
An alternative L1 ↔ Base bridge. Testnet
Programmatic Bridging
To bridge ETH and ERC-20s from Ethereum to Base in code, start from the sample repository.For Token Issuers
If you have an ERC-20 on Ethereum and want to enable bridging to Base, use the sample repository above as a starting point for the standard bridge contracts, then list your token on the Superchain token list.From Solana
The Base–Solana bridge enables bidirectional token transfers and message passing between Base and Solana: move SOL and SPL tokens, send cross-chain messages, deploy wrapped tokens on either chain, and optionally auto-relay for instant execution.Full Documentation

From Bitcoin
Garden is a fast, non-custodial bridge for moving BTC and other supported assets to Base. Available on mainnet and Sepolia testnet.The bridge previously at bridge.base.org has been deprecated. Use the routes above instead.
