Fuse Joins the Circle Alliance Program 

We are pleased to announce that Fuse has officially joined the Circle Alliance Program (CAP), a global network established by Circle, the issuer of USDC, one of the world’s most widely adopted stablecoins.

Joining CAP aligns Fuse with Circle’s roadmap and connects our ecosystem to a community focused on stablecoin-powered payments, access, and inclusion. Members gain direct collaboration with Circle’s product and engineering teams, access to resources and events, and opportunities to align on product strategy around USDC.

What is the Circle Alliance Program?

CAP brings together a diverse mix of companies from traditional banks to Web3 startups who are pushing the boundaries of how USDC can be used in payments, finance, and everyday commerce.

Being part of this network means Fuse will:

• Collaborate with builders and innovators worldwide.
• Explore new ways to integrate USDC into real-world use cases.
• Contribute to efforts that drive financial inclusion and improve cross-border payments.
• Gain access to resources, insights, and events that will help us (and you, our community!) stay ahead in shaping the future of digital finance.
  

Why this matters for Fuse

Fuse has always been about making Web3 payments simple and accessible for businesses and consumers. Joining CAP connects us with like-minded teams that share this mission. For our community, it means more opportunities to see USDC-powered solutions inside the Fuse ecosystem, from DeFi and payments to consumer apps.

And here’s the part we’re especially excited about: we’re also working to secure early access to Circle Gateway.

How this ties into Solid

Solid is our wallet-native financial layer that lets anyone earn, spend, and save with a self-custodial, mobile-first experience. Users deposit USDC, mint soUSD (a yield-bearing stablecoin), and can use their balance across chains and in real life.

Integrating Circle Gateway would directly enhance Solid by:

• Unified USDC balance: Users deposit USDC once and access it across supported chains—no manual bridging, no network switching.
  
• One-tap flows: Solid can route USDC instantly where it’s needed (e.g., to mint soUSD or fund payments), making cross-chain UX invisible.
  
• Non-custodial by design: Gateway is permissionless and users retain ownership; Solid keeps self-custody front and center.
  
• Better capital efficiency: Solid can reduce fragmented balances across chains and streamline treasury and routing.
  

This is the basis for a “Solid Gateway” experience: a chain-abstracted USDC flow inside Solid that powers one-click deposits, cross-chain access, and seamless spending, while keeping everything self-custodial.

Adopting Circle Gateway

Moving USDC across blockchains today is often a hassle.  Bridging, delays, and multiple wallets or balances. Circle Gateway changes that.

With Gateway:

• Users get 1-click, instant crosschain USDC access (no more manual bridging).
• Businesses can manage liquidity more efficiently and cut down on overhead.
• Developers get chain-agnostic building blocks to create seamless experiences.
  

For Fuse users and builders, this means simpler, faster, and more reliable ways to use USDC across apps and chains.

What’s Coming Next

Joining CAP is a key step in aligning Fuse—and Solid—with the next wave of stablecoin infrastructure. We’ll share updates as we progress toward early access to Circle Gateway and pilot integrations that improve USDC flows across Solid, Voltage, and the broader Fuse ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more on Solid’s chain-abstracted USDC experience and how builders can tap into it.
