Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high‑risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.
Sometimes, it can be inefficient and costly to do transfers on the Ethereum network. Lucky for you, CoinJar now offers USDC transfers on the Solana network, providing an efficient, more competitive, and user-friendly solution for managing stablecoins.
CoinJar is now "multichain". This means we are expanding our platform to support multiple blockchains.
Different blockchains host different cryptocurrencies. By becoming multichain, CoinJar can list and support a wider variety of digital assets for their customers to buy, sell, and trade.
Some blockchains offer efficient transaction speeds and more competitive fees than others.
CoinJar customers will have more options for sending and receiving cryptocurrencies, choosing the blockchain that best suits their needs in terms of speed, cost, and supported assets.
Now that CoinJar is multichain, customers can now transfer USDC on the Solana network. This gives you greater flexibility and control over your digital assets.
This is just the beginning of the expansion of our blockchain support. We will be supporting transfers of other tokens over other blockchains in the future. USDC over Solana is just the first! So stay tuned for updates.
Solana transaction fees are significantly more competitive than gas fees, allowing you to save on every USDC transfer.
Solana’s network is renowned for its near-instant transaction confirmations, vastly improving the speed of USDC transfers. No more waiting in limbo — your transactions can now be completed in seconds.
Whether you're sending funds, or moving assets between wallets, speed is no longer an issue.
Solana is often perceived as less protected and more centralised than Ethereum.
Also, Solana has experienced several network outages and performance issues, raising concerns about its stability and reliability compared to Ethereum's more established network.
For smaller transactions, Solana might be a good bet, thanks to speed and cost.
For larger USDC transactions, the added protection and decentralisation offered by Ethereum may outweigh the uncompetitive fees and inefficient transaction times. The potential risks associated with Solana may be less acceptable when dealing with significant amounts of value.
Solana's efficiency and competitive fees make it attractive for smaller USDC transactions, while Ethereum's protection and decentralisation are preferable for larger amounts. The choice ultimately depends on the user's priorities and risk tolerance.
CoinJar makes it a user-friendly experience to transfer USDC on Solana, even for those new to multichain operations.
While the multichain world opens up exciting possibilities, it requires caution. Selecting the wrong network for your transfer could result in the loss of assets. Always double-check the network you're using to ensure your funds are protected.
You can also send a small amount first, before sending larger amounts.
What you'll need:
If you're using a particular wallet like Phantom or Solflare, search for their official guides on how to send USDC.
You can use blockchain explorers like to track your USDC transactions and see their status on the Solana network.
