# Bridged USDC

Leverage Circle's Bridged USDC Standard for [OP Bedrock](/about/bedrock) and [Arbitrum Nitro](/about/nitro.mdx) rollups with Caldera. Bridged USDC provides benefits for blockchains, developers, and users alike, catalyzing activity on new blockchain networks and simplifying any future transition to native USDC.

## For Blockchains

Get bridged USDC into the hands of developers and users early with the potential for a seamless upgrade to native issuance in the future, thereby avoiding the time-consuming liquidity migration process of educating and incentivizing your ecosystem to move from bridged to native USDC.

## For developers

Build on bridged USDC with a contract address that will persist after an upgrade to native, no code change needed. Provide users a way to store, pay, trade, borrow and lend with bridged USDC that automatically becomes native upon an upgrade. No need to swap to a new asset.
