Supporting USDC Where It Matters: CCTP
Our Role in the Ecosystem
What’s Next?

Excited to share that we have joined the Circle Alliance Program, a global network of like-minded companies and teams focused on the future of finance. As members, we are looking forward to building new connections and continuing to learn and innovate with USDC and Web3 technology. 

As one of the world’s leading validators and a long-time infrastructure partner across 85+ blockchain networks, Everstake brings deep technical expertise to this alliance—and a shared belief in the power of composable, interoperable finance.

Supporting USDC Where It Matters: CCTP

USDC isn’t just another stablecoin—it’s a critical building block for Web3. As a fully-reserved, dollar-backed asset issued by Circle, USDC enables fast, cost-efficient, and transparent digital payments. But the real unlock happens when that value moves seamlessly across chains.

That’s where CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) comes in—Circle’s trust-minimized protocol for native USDC transfers between chains. And that’s precisely where Everstake steps in.

We support CCTP not just conceptually, but technically and operationally—by running validator infrastructure on chains where it’s live, Everstake supporting it on multiple blockchains, and contributing to cross-chain protocols that enable interoperability, including Axelar and Chainlink.

A great example is the Sui Bridge, where Everstake plays a key infrastructure role, helping ensure stability and performance for cross-chain USDC transfers. You can read more about that here.

Our Role in the Ecosystem

As part of the Circle Alliance’s Service Providers segment, Everstake is proud to support USDC’s growth from the infrastructure layer up. 

That includes validator support for CCTP-enabled chains—and participation in broader Circle-aligned projects like Chainlink, where our nodes help power decentralized oracle feeds, including those involving USDC price data.

We’ve always been focused on making Web3 infrastructure accessible, reliable, and scalable, and joining the Circle Alliance is a natural extension of that mission.

What’s Next?

This isn’t just about joining a program—it’s about scaling real infrastructure for global, interoperable money. As part of the Alliance, we’ll keep doing what we do best: securing networks, powering bridges, and helping USDC reach every chain where users need it.

Everstake is just starting—and we’re bringing our 40,000+ node footprint.

Let’s build.
