Your first payment

|---|---|
| Network | POA — production |
| Chain ID | 77 |
| RPC | https://rpc.poa.net |
| Currency | USDC |
| Wallet / JSON-RPC decimals | 18 |
| Explorer | https://poa.net/77 |
2. Get USDC
Section titled “2. Get USDC”Receive a transfer to your POA address or use the Ethereum bridge. The minimum bridge lock is 1 USDC. The Ethereum transaction requires ETH for gas and must reach Ethereum finality.
Withdrawals from POA to Ethereum are currently disabled. Refunding an incomplete HTLC after its deadline is separate from withdrawing an already received POA balance.
3. Send a payment
Section titled “3. Send a payment”Select POA in your wallet, check the recipient address and USDC amount, then sign the transfer. POA’s network fee is zero. Open the transaction hash in Explorer and wait for successful inclusion in a block.
The recipient must be an account on POA. Sharing Ethereum’s address format does not send funds to Ethereum.
