Arbitrum Orbit Chains Now Support Bridged USDC as Custom Gas Token
Arbitrum Orbit chains now support bridged USD Coin (USDC) as a custom gas token.
According to a press release, this integration enables users to pay transaction fees with the stablecoin to enhance transaction convenience and stability within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
The release stated that builders could quickly set up Orbit chains using bridged USDC as a standard configuration, benefiting from the price stability and wide acceptance of the coin.
This change would remove the necessity of holding various tokens just to cover gas fees, simplifying the transaction process and enhancing user experience.
