One cash balance for every chain
2 min readIn short
ArkhamPad shows one total cash balance in USDC, even though coins live on different chains. You don't need to think about which chain your money is on before you trade.
Why one balance
Splitting money across chains is confusing and leads to failed trades. One figure is easier: if you have the cash, you can buy.
What happens behind the scenes
Your USDC sits on the supported networks. When you trade, the site uses the balance on the coin's chain.
Network costs
You never need ETH or another gas token. Network costs are covered from your USDC balance.
FAQ
Can I still choose a network when I withdraw?
Yes. You pick the network on the Withdraw screen.
