Mint

Users can mint cgUSD by using assets from multiple chains, with cgUSD existing solely on the Base chain. For more detailed information about cgUSD, please refer to:

Supported assets for minting cgUSD are as follows:

Network	Waiting Time	Token	Contract Address
Base	Zero	USDC	0xCa72827a3D211CfD8F6b00Ac98824872b72CAb49
Ethereum	20 mins	USDC/USDT	Pending
Arbitrum	30 mins	USDC/USDT	Pending
Optimism	30 mins	USDT	Pending

Currently, Cygnus utilizes Axelar Network for cross-chain communication, allowing users to mint cgUSD with stablecoins from chains other than the Base chain. The minting fee for users is 0%, meaning the amount of stablecoins used for minting cgUSD is equivalent to the cgUSD received. For detailed information about fees, please refer to:

However, if users choose to mint cgUSD using stablecoins from chains other than the Base chain, they will need to pay Axelar Network a certain fee in the native token of the source chain. Details of the minting fees are as follows:

Network	Waiting Time	Fee Components	Payment Currency
Ethereum	20 mins	Cross-Chain Fees	USDC/USDT
Arbitrum	30 mins	Cross-Chain Fees	USDC/USDT
Optimism	30 mins	Cross-Chain Fees	USDC

Users can also send a small amount of ETH to the Base chain for gas while conducting cross-chain minting.
