# Cross-Chain Stablecoin Transfers

[**Cross-Chain Transfer API** ](https://docs.alignlabs.dev/align-api/cross-chain-transfers/create-cross-chain-transfer-from-quote)enables seamless, programmatic transfers of stablecoins across different blockchain networks. It allows users to transfer USDC & USDT from one blockchain to another in a secure and efficient manner. This API simplifies cross-chain stablecoin transfers, eliminating the complexities of manual bridging, especially when moving between EVM and non-EVM chains (e.g., USDT on Tron to USDC on Polygon).

**Key features include:**

**Cross-Chain Transfers:** Easily move tokens between various supported blockchains, like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Optimism, Arbitrum, and more.

**Automated Bridging:** The API handles the entire bridging process, from initiating the transfer on the source chain to delivering the tokens on the target chain.

**Automated Swapping:** The API handles swapping between USDC & USDT across different chains (e.g. USDT.tron to USDC.ethereum).

**Customizable Transfer Options:** Users can specify the source and destination chains, the type of token, and the amount to transfer.

**Real-time Status Updates:** Track the status of transfers, ensuring transparency and allowing users to monitor the progress of their cross-chain transactions.<br>

This API is ideal for developers building multi-chain applications, exchanges and wallets looking to provide users with easy access to cross-chain liquidity and interoperability.
