USDC — The Cash-Like Crypto That Powers Adultra
Think of it as digital dollars that move at internet speed and cost pennies to send. It's how we lock payments on-chain while keeping everyone price-stable.
What exactly is USDC?
USD Coin (USDC) is a regulated, dollar-backed stablecoin co-created by Circle and Coinbase. Every token is redeemable 1-for-1 for U.S. dollars held in short-term Treasuries and cash reserves. In other words: one USDC is always $1.
Monthly attestations by top-10 accounting firm Grant Thornton verify the reserves—so you don't have to trust crypto hype, you can trust auditors.
Why we chose USDC for Adultra
- 🌐 Global & borderless —pay or get paid from anywhere without wire transfers or 3-day bank holds.
- 🔒 Price-stable —no Bitcoin-style volatility. Creators know their $500 scene fee will still be $500 tomorrow.
- ⚡ Fast & cheap —on Polygon, a USDC transfer settles in<2 seconds and costs about $0.01 in gas.
- 🏦 Off-ramp friendly —major exchanges and services like BitPay convert USDC back to fiat with a click.
Why creators love USDC
Your payout lands instantly when the producer clicks Release. No chargebacks, no pending status, and you can cash out the same day—or hold and earn yield in DeFi if that's your jam.
Why producers swear by it
Fund escrow once, forget exchange-rate headaches, and stay compliant. You even save money: gas plus our 5 % fee is still cheaper than wire fees and card chargeback risk.
Decimals, contract address & networks
USDC uses 6 decimals. On Adultra we accept the native Polygon USDC contract 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359. If you have USDC on Ethereum, Arbitrum, or elsewhere, simply bridge it—see our Polygon & Bridging guide.
