Overview

VOLT is a bridge. You connect a wallet you already control. You pick the chain you are leaving and the chain you are entering. VOLT asks that wallet to sign. It does not take custody of the transfer.

The desk is built for Arc. On Arc, USDC is the gas token, so the dollars you bridge are the dollars that pay fees once they arrive. Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Polygon, and Robinhood Chain are the corridors in and out.

Two rails do the moving.

• Circle CCTP burns native USDC on one chain and mints native USDC on the other. It is the same dollar, not a wrapped copy.
• Relay quotes the path when you pay in ETH, or when Robinhood Chain is on either side. Robinhood’s dollar there is USDG, not USDC.

How a transfer fits together

1. Connect the wallet that will sign.
2. Pick the source chain, the asset, and the amount. The quote shows what arrives, how long it should take, and which rail is live.
3. Sign. If USDC is not approved yet, the first signature only approves. The next signature sends the bridge.
4. Circle or Relay delivers. Activity keeps the route, the amount, the fee, and the source transaction.

VOLT takes 1% of the amount you send. The network fee is separate and is on the quote before you confirm. You can paste a different address if the tokens should land in another wallet. You still sign with the connected one.
