    USDC is based on the Ethereum blockchain. It is an ERC-20 token, which means it follows the technical standards set by Ethereum. This allows for easy integration with Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. The use of Ethereum as the underlying blockchain provides security, transparency, and immutability to the USDC stablecoin.

    USDC is built on the Ethereum blockchain. This choice was made because Ethereum is one of the most widely adopted and secure blockchains in the industry. By leveraging Ethereum's infrastructure, USDC benefits from its robust network and established ecosystem. This ensures that USDC transactions are fast, reliable, and can be easily integrated into various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.
