You might ask yourself why would someone bridge USDC from one network to another in the first place?

The problem is that some crypto exchanges do not support transactions on all the the networks. For example Coinbase does not support transactions on Binance Smart Chain.

But if you are a creator on our NSFW platform and you requested a fund withdrawal, the requested USDC will arrive into a Binance Smart Chain address, as that is the network we support on our platform. So, if you want to send your withdrawal funds from your BSC MetaMask account to your Coinbase wallet, you will not be able to do so without firstly bridging the USDC tokens.

1) Go to the Celer dApp

In order to process the bridging operation, you will need to use a third party decentralised application that will handle the token swap for you.
