Transfer USDC between Sui and Arc

Transfer USDC between Sui Testnet and Arc Testnet using the CCTP burn-attest-mint flow.

On Sui, CCTP V2 burn and mint are multi-step programmable transactions. Each flow calls TokenMessengerMinterV2, MessageTransmitterV2, and the StablecoinHandler in one transaction. Package and State object IDs differ from CCTP V1 on Sui.These examples treat Sui USDC as a SIP-58 address balance: burn redeems with 0x2::coin::redeem_funds, and after mint a follow-up 0x2::coin::send_funds folds the public_transfer’d Coin into the recipient address balance. Omit these two transactions if you’re not using SIP-58 balances.

Pick the tab that matches the direction of your transfer.

Sui to Arc
Arc to Sui

This quickstart demonstrates how to transfer USDC from Sui Testnet to Arc Testnet using CCTP. You use the @mysten/sui SDK to burn USDC on Sui, and viem to mint USDC on Arc Testnet. When you finish, you will have executed a full burn-attest-mint flow.You should be comfortable using a terminal and Node.js. Familiarity with Sui programmable transactions and basic EVM usage helps you follow and adapt the script. Examples use Arc Testnet as the destination, but you can use any supported EVM blockchain.

This script uses SuiGrpcClient, which requires a Sui gRPC endpoint (not JSON-RPC). The default fullnode URL below serves gRPC on port 443.

Prerequisites

Before you begin this tutorial, ensure you have:

Installed Node.js v22.6+
Prepared a Sui Testnet wallet with the private key available (suiprivkey1…)
- Funded your account with testnet SUI for transaction fees
- Funded your account with Sui Testnet USDC from the Circle Faucet as an address balance (SIP-58). If USDC is only held as Coin objects, deposit it first with 0x2::coin::send_funds.
Prepared an EVM wallet with the private key available for Arc Testnet
- Added the Arc Testnet network to your wallet (network details)
- Funded your wallet with Arc Testnet ETH for gas fees

Step 1: Set up the project

This step shows you how to prepare your project and environment.

1.1. Set up your development environment

Create a new directory, initialize and set up a new Node.js project, and install the required dependencies:

Shell

mkdir cctp-sui-to-arc
cd cctp-sui-to-arc
npm init -y

npm pkg set type=module
npm pkg set scripts.start="node --env-file=.env --import=tsx index.ts"

npm install @mysten/sui viem

npm install --save-dev tsx typescript @types/node

1.2. Initialize and configure the project

This step is optional. It helps prevent missing types in your IDE or editor.

Create a tsconfig.json file:

npx tsc --init

Then, update the tsconfig.json file:

cat <<'EOF' > tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "types": ["node"]
  }
}
EOF

1.3. Configure environment variables

Open .env in your editor and add:

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY
SUI_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_SUI_PRIVATE_KEY

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is the private key for the EVM wallet used to receive USDC on Arc Testnet.
SUI_PRIVATE_KEY is the Sui Testnet private key (suiprivkey1…) used to sign the burn transaction.

Open .env in your editor rather than writing values with shell commands, and add .env to your .gitignore. This prevents credentials from leaking into your shell history or version control.

The npm run start command loads variables from .env using Node.js native env-file support.

This example uses one or more private keys for local testing. In production, use a secure key management solution and never expose or share private keys.

Step 2: Configure the script

Define the Sui and Arc Testnet parameters, then configure the wallet clients for each chain.

2.1. Define configuration constants

The script predefines the Sui CCTP V2 package and State object IDs, the Arc MessageTransmitterV2 address, the transfer amount, and the CCTP domain IDs.

TypeScript

import { decodeSuiPrivateKey } from "@mysten/sui/cryptography";
import { SuiGrpcClient } from "@mysten/sui/grpc";
import { Ed25519Keypair } from "@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519";
import { Transaction } from "@mysten/sui/transactions";
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  parseAbi,
  type Address,
  type Hex,
} from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { arcTestnet } from "viem/chains";

type Attestation = {
  message: string;
  attestation: string;
};

const SUI_DOMAIN = 8; // Source domain ID for Sui Testnet
const ARC_DOMAIN = 26; // Destination domain ID for Arc Testnet

const ARC_MESSAGE_TRANSMITTER =
  "0xE737e5cEBEEBa77EFE34D4aa090756590b1CE275" as Address;

const IRIS_API_URL = "https://iris-api-sandbox.circle.com";

/** Sandbox Sui CCTP V2 package and State object IDs. */
const CCTP_V2_CONFIG = {
  mtV2PackageId:
    "0xe9678cd42a81886e18e21361088071f275105636a4d3751e1d7f255211f73bbe",
  mtV2StateId:
    "0xfee3a2b47f9ef2de2405fc63d79194307945f8ea768815cfc46083bc20fbe6ed",
  tmmV2PackageId:
    "0x267d3c0cb776eace2840f27e4d33da9c6d952f9749403f1fe6579f4962ed3c64",
  tmmV2StateId:
    "0x72cb55cd14d01e6361386d6ea93eecda9fa1efc3c202b8dd69c1e4683e4c0ca0",
  handlerPackageId:
    "0xbe8479044396a45e07de2c7f14789c35b8338406eebc53b2527da56839a91561",
  handlerStateId:
    "0xfbd9c0517c4f0e1817445ee2be598806e3c392a465d7e3d773d1055f3f0eed32",
  usdcPackageId:
    "0xa1ec7fc00a6f40db9693ad1415d0c193ad3906494428cf252621037bd7117e29",
  treasuryId:
    "0x7170137d4a6431bf83351ac025baf462909bffe2877d87716374fb42b9629ebe",
};
const USDC_TYPE = `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.usdcPackageId}::usdc::USDC`;

const AMOUNT = 1_000_000n; // 1 USDC, 6 decimals
const MAX_FEE = 0n;
const MIN_FINALITY_THRESHOLD = 2_000; // Standard Transfer

SUI_DOMAIN is the source domain used when requesting the attestation. The destination domain for Arc Testnet is 26. Sui Testnet USDC uses 6 decimals, so 1_000_000 represents 1 USDC.

2.2. Set up wallet clients

The EVM clients connect to Arc Testnet with viem. The Sui client uses SuiGrpcClient on Testnet and signs transactions with an Ed25519 keypair decoded from SUI_PRIVATE_KEY.

TypeScript

const evmPrivateKey = process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY;
const suiPrivateKey = process.env.SUI_PRIVATE_KEY;

if (!evmPrivateKey || !suiPrivateKey) {
  throw new Error("Set EVM_PRIVATE_KEY and SUI_PRIVATE_KEY in .env");
}

const account = privateKeyToAccount(evmPrivateKey as Hex);
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: arcTestnet,
  transport: http(),
});
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: arcTestnet,
  transport: http(),
});
const suiClient = new SuiGrpcClient({
  network: "testnet",
  baseUrl: "https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443",
});
const suiSigner = Ed25519Keypair.fromSecretKey(
  decodeSuiPrivateKey(suiPrivateKey).secretKey,
);

const messageTransmitterAbi = parseAbi([
  "function receiveMessage(bytes message, bytes attestation) returns (bool success)",
]);

2.3. Format the Arc recipient for Sui

Sui deposit_for_burn accepts the mint recipient as a 32-byte address. An EVM address is converted by left-padding it with zeros.

TypeScript

function padAddressToBytes32(address: string): Hex {
  return `0x${address.replace(/^0x/, "").padStart(64, "0").toLowerCase()}` as Hex;
}

Step 3: Implement the transfer logic

This step implements the core transfer logic: burn on Sui, poll for an attestation, then mint on Arc. The Sui burn is a single programmable transaction: redeem from the SIP-58 address balance, then the CCTP Move calls.

3.1. Burn USDC on Sui

Build a programmable transaction that:

Calls 0x2::coin::redeem_funds to unwrap the burn amount from the sender’s address balance into a Coin<USDC>
Calls deposit_for_burn on TokenMessengerMinterV2
Calls handler::burn on the StablecoinHandler
Calls complete_burn to emit the CCTP message

You specify the following parameters for deposit_for_burn:

Burn amount: The amount of USDC to burn in Sui subunits (6 decimals)
Destination domain: The target blockchain for minting USDC (26 for Arc Testnet)
Mint recipient: The EVM wallet address that receives minted USDC on Arc, left-padded to 32 bytes
Destination caller: The zero address, allowing any caller to submit the receive transaction on Arc
Max fee: The maximum fee allowed for the transfer
Finality threshold: 2000 for a Standard Transfer

TypeScript

async function burnUSDC() {
  console.log(`Burning ${Number(AMOUNT) / 1_000_000} USDC on Sui...`);

  const tx = new Transaction();

  const [coin] = tx.moveCall({
    target: "0x2::coin::redeem_funds",
    typeArguments: [USDC_TYPE],
    arguments: [tx.withdrawal({ amount: AMOUNT, type: USDC_TYPE })],
  });

  const [burnReceipt, returnedCoin] = tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2PackageId}::deposit_for_burn::deposit_for_burn`,
    arguments: [
      coin,
      tx.pure.u32(ARC_DOMAIN),
      tx.pure.address(padAddressToBytes32(account.address)),
      tx.pure.address("0x0"),
      tx.pure.u256(MAX_FEE),
      tx.pure.u32(MIN_FINALITY_THRESHOLD),
      tx.pure.vector("u8", []),
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2StateId),
    ],
    typeArguments: [USDC_TYPE],
  });

  const [completeBurnTicket] = tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerPackageId}::handler::burn`,
    arguments: [
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerStateId),
      burnReceipt,
      returnedCoin,
      tx.object("0x403"), // Sui deny list
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.treasuryId),
    ],
  });

  tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2PackageId}::deposit_for_burn::complete_burn`,
    arguments: [
      completeBurnTicket,
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2StateId),
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.mtV2StateId),
    ],
    typeArguments: [
      USDC_TYPE,
      `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerPackageId}::handler::Auth`,
    ],
  });

  const digest = await executeTransaction(tx);
  console.log(
    `Deposit-for-burn confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/${digest}`,
  );
  return digest;
}

3.2. Retrieve attestation

Retrieve the attestation required to complete the CCTP transfer by calling Circle’s attestation API.

Call Circle’s GET /v2/messages API endpoint to retrieve the attestation.
Pass SUI_DOMAIN for the sourceDomain path parameter, using the CCTP domain for Sui (8).
Pass the Sui transaction digest returned by burnUSDC as transactionHash. Sui digests are base58 and must not include a 0x prefix.

TypeScript

async function retrieveAttestation(
  transactionHash: string,
): Promise<Attestation> {
  const url = `${IRIS_API_URL}/v2/messages/${SUI_DOMAIN}?transactionHash=${transactionHash}`;
  console.log(`Polling Iris V2 for attestation: ${url}`);

  while (true) {
    const response = await fetch(url);
    if (!response.ok && response.status !== 404) {
      throw new Error(`Iris V2 returned HTTP ${response.status}`);
    }

    if (response.ok) {
      const data = (await response.json()) as {
        messages?: Array<{ message?: string; attestation?: string }>;
      };
      const result = data.messages?.[0];

      if (
        result?.message &&
        result.attestation &&
        result.attestation !== "PENDING" &&
        result.message !== "0x"
      ) {
        return {
          message: result.message,
          attestation: result.attestation,
        };
      }
    }

    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 2_000));
  }
}

3.3. Mint USDC on Arc

Call the receiveMessage function from the MessageTransmitterV2 contract deployed on Arc Testnet.

Pass the signed attestation and message bytes as parameters.
The contract verifies the attestation and mints USDC to the recipient encoded in the CCTP message.

TypeScript

async function mintUSDC({ message, attestation }: Attestation) {
  console.log("Receiving the message on Arc...");

  const receiveTransactionHash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    account,
    chain: arcTestnet,
    address: ARC_MESSAGE_TRANSMITTER,
    abi: messageTransmitterAbi,
    functionName: "receiveMessage",
    args: [message as Hex, attestation as Hex],
  });
  const receiveReceipt = await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash: receiveTransactionHash,
  });
  if (receiveReceipt.status !== "success") {
    throw new Error(
      `EVM receive transaction reverted: ${receiveTransactionHash}`,
    );
  }
  console.log(`Receive confirmed: ${receiveTransactionHash}`);

  return receiveTransactionHash;
}

  main().catch((error: unknown) => {
    console.error(error instanceof Error ? error.message : error);
    process.exitCode = 1;
  });
}

Step 5: Test the script

Run the following command to execute the script:

Shell

npm run start

When the transfer finishes, the console logs a completion message and the relevant transaction hashes. Successful output looks similar to the following:

Shell

Starting CCTP flow...
Burning 1 USDC on Sui...
Deposit-for-burn confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/<sui-transaction-digest>
Polling Iris V2 for attestation: https://iris-api-sandbox.circle.com/v2/messages/8?transactionHash=<sui-transaction-digest>
Attestation received from Iris V2.
Receiving the message on Arc...
Receive confirmed: 0x...
USDC transfer completed.

Attestation polling can take several minutes depending on network conditions and the finality threshold you chose. The script retries every 2 seconds with no timeout, so allow the process to continue while Iris prepares the attestation.

Rate limit: The attestation service rate limit is 40 requests per second. If you exceed this limit, the service blocks all API requests for the next five minutes and returns an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) response.

This quickstart demonstrates how to transfer USDC from Arc Testnet to Sui Testnet using CCTP. You use viem to approve and burn USDC on Arc, and the @mysten/sui SDK to receive and mint USDC on Sui. When you finish, you will have executed a full burn-attest-mint flow.You should be comfortable using a terminal and Node.js. Familiarity with basic EVM usage and Sui programmable transactions helps you follow and adapt the script. Examples use Arc Testnet as the source, but you can use any supported EVM blockchain.

This script uses SuiGrpcClient, which requires a Sui gRPC endpoint (not JSON-RPC). The default fullnode URL below serves gRPC on port 443.

Prerequisites

Before you begin this tutorial, ensure you have:

Installed Node.js v22.6+
Prepared an EVM wallet with the private key available for Arc Testnet
- Added the Arc Testnet network to your wallet (network details)
- Funded your wallet with Arc Testnet USDC for the transfer amount from the Circle Faucet
- Funded your wallet with Arc Testnet ETH for gas fees
Prepared a Sui Testnet wallet with the private key available (suiprivkey1…)
- Funded your account with testnet SUI for the receive transaction fee

Step 1: Set up the project

This step shows you how to prepare your project and environment.

1.1. Set up your development environment

Create a new directory, initialize and set up a new Node.js project, and install the required dependencies:

Shell

mkdir cctp-arc-to-sui
cd cctp-arc-to-sui
npm init -y

npm pkg set type=module
npm pkg set scripts.start="node --env-file=.env --import=tsx index.ts"

npm install @mysten/sui viem

npm install --save-dev tsx typescript @types/node

1.2. Initialize and configure the project

This step is optional. It helps prevent missing types in your IDE or editor.

Create a tsconfig.json file:

npx tsc --init

Then, update the tsconfig.json file:

cat <<'EOF' > tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "types": ["node"]
  }
}
EOF

1.3. Configure environment variables

Open .env in your editor and add:

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY
SUI_PRIVATE_KEY=YOUR_SUI_PRIVATE_KEY

EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is the private key for the EVM wallet used to burn USDC on Arc Testnet.
SUI_PRIVATE_KEY is the Sui Testnet private key (suiprivkey1…) for the account that receives the minted USDC and signs the receive transaction.

Open .env in your editor rather than writing values with shell commands, and add .env to your .gitignore. This prevents credentials from leaking into your shell history or version control.

The npm run start command loads variables from .env using Node.js native env-file support.

This example uses one or more private keys for local testing. In production, use a secure key management solution and never expose or share private keys.

Step 2: Configure the script

Define the contract addresses, transfer amount, finality settings, and wallet clients for Arc Testnet and Sui Testnet.

2.1. Define configuration constants

The script predefines the Arc USDC and TokenMessengerV2 addresses, the Sui CCTP V2 package and State object IDs, and the CCTP domain IDs.

TypeScript

import { decodeSuiPrivateKey } from "@mysten/sui/cryptography";
import { SuiGrpcClient } from "@mysten/sui/grpc";
import { Ed25519Keypair } from "@mysten/sui/keypairs/ed25519";
import { Transaction } from "@mysten/sui/transactions";
import { normalizeSuiAddress } from "@mysten/sui/utils";
import {
  createPublicClient,
  createWalletClient,
  http,
  parseAbi,
  type Address,
  type Hex,
} from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { arcTestnet } from "viem/chains";

type Attestation = {
  message: string;
  attestation: string;
};

const SUI_DOMAIN = 8; // Destination domain ID for Sui Testnet
const ARC_DOMAIN = 26; // Source domain ID for Arc Testnet

const ARC_USDC = "0x3600000000000000000000000000000000000000" as Address;
const ARC_TOKEN_MESSENGER =
  "0x8FE6B999Dc680CcFDD5Bf7EB0974218be2542DAA" as Address;

const IRIS_API_URL = "https://iris-api-sandbox.circle.com";

/** Sandbox Sui CCTP V2 package and State object IDs. */
const CCTP_V2_CONFIG = {
  mtV2PackageId:
    "0xe9678cd42a81886e18e21361088071f275105636a4d3751e1d7f255211f73bbe",
  mtV2StateId:
    "0xfee3a2b47f9ef2de2405fc63d79194307945f8ea768815cfc46083bc20fbe6ed",
  tmmV2PackageId:
    "0x267d3c0cb776eace2840f27e4d33da9c6d952f9749403f1fe6579f4962ed3c64",
  tmmV2StateId:
    "0x72cb55cd14d01e6361386d6ea93eecda9fa1efc3c202b8dd69c1e4683e4c0ca0",
  handlerPackageId:
    "0xbe8479044396a45e07de2c7f14789c35b8338406eebc53b2527da56839a91561",
  handlerStateId:
    "0xfbd9c0517c4f0e1817445ee2be598806e3c392a465d7e3d773d1055f3f0eed32",
  usdcPackageId:
    "0xa1ec7fc00a6f40db9693ad1415d0c193ad3906494428cf252621037bd7117e29",
  treasuryId:
    "0x7170137d4a6431bf83351ac025baf462909bffe2877d87716374fb42b9629ebe",
};
const USDC_TYPE = `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.usdcPackageId}::usdc::USDC`;

const AMOUNT = 1_000_000n; // 1 USDC, 6 decimals
const MAX_FEE = 0n;
const MIN_FINALITY_THRESHOLD = 2_000; // Standard Transfer

ARC_DOMAIN is the source domain used when requesting the attestation. The destination domain for Sui Testnet is 8. This example uses a Standard Transfer (minFinalityThreshold of 2000) with a maximum fee of zero.

2.2. Set up wallet clients

The wallet clients use viem for Arc Testnet and @mysten/sui for Sui Testnet. The Sui keypair signs the programmable transaction that receives and mints USDC.

TypeScript

const evmPrivateKey = process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY;
const suiPrivateKey = process.env.SUI_PRIVATE_KEY;

if (!evmPrivateKey || !suiPrivateKey) {
  throw new Error("Set EVM_PRIVATE_KEY and SUI_PRIVATE_KEY in .env");
}

const account = privateKeyToAccount(evmPrivateKey as Hex);
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: arcTestnet,
  transport: http(),
});
const publicClient = createPublicClient({
  chain: arcTestnet,
  transport: http(),
});
const suiClient = new SuiGrpcClient({
  network: "testnet",
  baseUrl: "https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443",
});
const suiSigner = Ed25519Keypair.fromSecretKey(
  decodeSuiPrivateKey(suiPrivateKey).secretKey,
);

const usdcAbi = parseAbi([
  "function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) returns (bool)",
]);
const tokenMessengerV2Abi = parseAbi([
  "function depositForBurn(uint256 amount, uint32 destinationDomain, bytes32 mintRecipient, address burnToken, bytes32 destinationCaller, uint256 maxFee, uint32 minFinalityThreshold)",
]);

2.3. Format the Sui recipient for Arc

depositForBurn accepts the destination recipient as bytes32. A Sui address is already a 32-byte value, so the script passes it as a hexadecimal value to viem.

TypeScript

function padAddressToBytes32(address: string): Hex {
  return `0x${address.replace(/^0x/, "").padStart(64, "0").toLowerCase()}` as Hex;
}

Step 3: Implement the transfer logic

This step implements the core transfer logic: approve and burn on Arc, poll for an attestation, then receive and mint on Sui. After mint, a follow-up 0x2::coin::send_funds folds the minted Coin into the recipient’s SIP-58 address balance. A successful run prints transaction hashes and a completion message in the console.

3.1. Approve USDC on Arc

Grant approval for the TokenMessengerV2 contract to withdraw USDC from your Arc wallet. This allows the contract to burn USDC when you initiate the transfer.

TypeScript

async function approveUSDC() {
  console.log("Approving Arc USDC transfer...");

  const approvalHash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    account,
    chain: arcTestnet,
    address: ARC_USDC,
    abi: usdcAbi,
    functionName: "approve",
    args: [ARC_TOKEN_MESSENGER, AMOUNT],
  });
  const approvalReceipt = await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash: approvalHash,
  });
  if (approvalReceipt.status !== "success") {
    throw new Error(`USDC approval reverted: ${approvalHash}`);
  }

  console.log(`Approval confirmed: ${approvalHash}`);
}

3.2. Burn USDC on Arc

Call depositForBurn to burn USDC on Arc. You specify the following parameters:

Burn amount: The amount of USDC to burn in Arc subunits (6 decimals)
Destination domain: The target blockchain for minting USDC (8 for Sui Testnet)
Mint recipient: The Sui account address that receives minted USDC
Destination caller: The zero address, allowing any caller to submit the receive transaction on Sui
Burn token: The Arc Testnet USDC address
Max fee: The maximum fee allowed for the transfer
Finality threshold: 2000 for a Standard Transfer

TypeScript

async function burnUSDC() {
  console.log(`Burning ${Number(AMOUNT) / 1_000_000} USDC on Arc...`);

  const burnHash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    account,
    chain: arcTestnet,
    address: ARC_TOKEN_MESSENGER,
    abi: tokenMessengerV2Abi,
    functionName: "depositForBurn",
    args: [
      AMOUNT,
      SUI_DOMAIN,
      padAddressToBytes32(suiSigner.toSuiAddress()),
      ARC_USDC,
      `0x${"0".repeat(64)}` as Hex,
      MAX_FEE,
      MIN_FINALITY_THRESHOLD,
    ],
  });
  const burnReceipt = await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash: burnHash,
  });
  if (burnReceipt.status !== "success") {
    throw new Error(`Deposit-for-burn reverted: ${burnHash}`);
  }

  console.log(`Deposit-for-burn confirmed: ${burnHash}`);
  return burnHash;
}

3.3. Retrieve attestation

Retrieve the attestation required to complete the CCTP transfer by calling Circle’s attestation API.

Call Circle’s GET /v2/messages API endpoint to retrieve the attestation.
Pass ARC_DOMAIN for the sourceDomain path parameter, using the CCTP domain for Arc Testnet (26).
Pass the Arc transaction hash returned by burnUSDC as transactionHash.

TypeScript

async function retrieveAttestation(
  transactionHash: string,
): Promise<Attestation> {
  const url = `${IRIS_API_URL}/v2/messages/${ARC_DOMAIN}?transactionHash=${transactionHash}`;
  console.log(`Polling Iris V2 for attestation: ${url}`);

  while (true) {
    const response = await fetch(url);
    if (!response.ok && response.status !== 404) {
      throw new Error(`Iris V2 returned HTTP ${response.status}`);
    }

    if (response.ok) {
      const data = (await response.json()) as {
        messages?: Array<{ message?: string; attestation?: string }>;
      };
      const result = data.messages?.[0];

      if (
        result?.message &&
        result.attestation &&
        result.attestation !== "PENDING" &&
        result.message !== "0x"
      ) {
        return {
          message: result.message,
          attestation: result.attestation,
        };
      }
    }

    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 2_000));
  }
}

3.4. Receive and mint USDC on Sui

Build a programmable transaction that:

Calls receive_message on MessageTransmitterV2
Calls prepare_mint on TokenMessengerMinterV2
Calls handler::mint on the StablecoinHandler
Calls complete_mint to finish the mint

CCTP mints a Coin<USDC> and public_transfers it to the recipient. Folding that Coin into an address balance requires a separate transaction (step 3.5), because the recipient cannot sign send_funds inside the CCTP receive PTB.

TypeScript

async function receiveMessage({ message, attestation }: Attestation) {
  console.log("Receiving the message on Sui...");

  const messageBytes = hexToBytes(message);
  const attestationBytes = hexToBytes(attestation);
  const tx = new Transaction();

  const [receipt] = tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.mtV2PackageId}::receive_message::receive_message`,
    arguments: [
      tx.pure.vector("u8", Array.from(messageBytes)),
      tx.pure.vector("u8", Array.from(attestationBytes)),
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.mtV2StateId),
    ],
  });

  const [mintReceipt] = tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2PackageId}::handle_receive_message::prepare_mint`,
    arguments: [
      receipt,
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2StateId),
      tx.object("0x6"), // Sui clock
    ],
    typeArguments: [USDC_TYPE],
  });

  const [completeMintTicket] = tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerPackageId}::handler::mint`,
    arguments: [
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerStateId),
      mintReceipt,
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2StateId),
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.treasuryId),
      tx.object("0x403"), // Sui deny list
    ],
  });

  tx.moveCall({
    target: `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2PackageId}::handle_receive_message::complete_mint`,
    arguments: [
      completeMintTicket,
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.tmmV2StateId),
      tx.object(CCTP_V2_CONFIG.mtV2StateId),
    ],
    typeArguments: [
      USDC_TYPE,
      `${CCTP_V2_CONFIG.handlerPackageId}::handler::Auth`,
    ],
  });

  const digest = await executeTransaction(tx);
  console.log(
    `Receive-message confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/${digest}`,
  );
  return digest;
}

3.5. Fold minted USDC into an address balance

After receive confirms, look up the created Coin<USDC> and call 0x2::coin::send_funds so the recipient holds USDC as an address balance.

TypeScript

async function foldUsdcIntoAddressBalance(
  coinObjectId: string,
  recipient: string,
) {
  console.log(
    "Folding minted USDC into address balance (SIP-58 send_funds)...",
  );

  const tx = new Transaction();
  tx.moveCall({
    target: "0x2::coin::send_funds",
    typeArguments: [USDC_TYPE],
    arguments: [tx.object(coinObjectId), tx.pure.address(recipient)],
  });

  const digest = await executeTransaction(tx);
  console.log(`send_funds confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/${digest}`);
  return digest;
}

async function findCreatedUsdcCoin(digest: string, owner: string) {
  const result = await suiClient.core.getTransaction({
    digest,
    include: { effects: true, objectTypes: true },
  });
  const tx =
    result.$kind === "Transaction"
      ? result.Transaction
      : result.FailedTransaction;
  if (!tx?.effects || !tx.objectTypes) {
    throw new Error(`Missing effects/objectTypes for ${digest}`);
  }

  const normalizedOwner = normalizeSuiAddress(owner);
  const created = tx.effects.changedObjects.filter((obj) => {
    if (obj.idOperation !== "Created") return false;
    const type = tx.objectTypes![obj.objectId] ?? "";
    if (!type.includes("::coin::Coin<") || !type.includes("::usdc::USDC")) {
      return false;
    }
    if (obj.outputOwner?.$kind !== "AddressOwner") return false;
    return (
      normalizeSuiAddress(obj.outputOwner.AddressOwner) === normalizedOwner
    );
  });

  if (created.length === 0) {
    throw new Error(
      `No Coin<USDC> created for ${owner} in https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/${digest}`,
    );
  }
  return created[0].objectId;
}

Step 5: Test the script

Run the following command to execute the script:

Shell

npm run start

When the transfer finishes, the console logs a completion message and the relevant transaction hashes. Successful output looks similar to the following:

Shell

Starting CCTP flow...
Approving Arc USDC transfer...
Approval confirmed: 0x...
Burning 1 USDC on Arc...
Deposit-for-burn confirmed: 0x...
Polling Iris V2 for attestation: https://iris-api-sandbox.circle.com/v2/messages/26?transactionHash=<arc-transaction-hash>
Attestation received from Iris V2.
Receiving the message on Sui...
Receive-message confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/<sui-transaction-digest>
Folding minted USDC into address balance (SIP-58 send_funds)...
send_funds confirmed: https://suiscan.xyz/testnet/tx/<sui-fold-digest>
USDC transfer completed (address balance).
