Why is there a ckUSDC deposit contract on Ethereum but not other gas-efficient chains?

Using the minter helper contract is pretty expensive (~2-3 USD per transaction) to deposit USDC. If there were a ckUSDC deposit contract on Polygon, Optimism, or other networks where there’s native USDC and cheaper fees, bridging would be far less expensive.

you can use onesec.to, where you can deposit USDC from Base and Arbitrum directly.

Yeah, I saw onesec.to, but I need to do this programmatically (via code). I saw onesec.to but am curious if you have any documentation for it. Also, I need USDC that has some liquidity in pools so that swapping is easy/cheap. As far as I understand, onesec.to’s USDC is a replica/mirror but I’m not sure how recognized it is in the ecosystem, or what value it has since it’s not ckUSDC.

We have a npm package: onesec-bridge - npm

We have docs too: https://onesec.to/documentation

onesec USDC can handle more throughput than ckUSDC, because of the way the bridge relays transactions!

Awesome, looks good. Thanks
