# CCTP block confirmations V1

> Block confirmation requirements for attestations by chain

<Warning>
  **This is CCTP V1 (Legacy) version. For the latest version, see [CCTP](/cctp)**.
</Warning>

Before signing an attestation for a source chain event, Circle waits for a
specified number of onchain block confirmations to achieve
<Tooltip tip="The point at which a transaction is fully finalized on-chain and can no longer be reversed or reorganized. This ensures the highest level of security and certainty before attestation. Hard Finality requires the transaction to reach full consensus on the source blockchain, typically resulting in longer processing times.">hard finality</Tooltip>.

The table below shows the average time required for an attestation to become
available after a message is emitted onchain.

<Note>**Note:** These values are subject to change.</Note>

## CCTP V1 Attestation Times

| Source Chain    | Number of Blocks  | Average Time         |
| --------------- | ----------------- | -------------------- |
| **Ethereum**    | \~65\*            | \~13 to 19 minutes\* |
| **Avalanche**   | 1                 | \~8 seconds          |
| **OP Mainnet**  | \~65 ETH blocks\* | \~13 to 19 minutes\* |
| **Arbitrum**    | \~65 ETH blocks\* | \~13 to 19 minutes\* |
| **Noble**       | 1                 | \~20 seconds         |
| **Base**        | \~65 ETH blocks\* | \~13 to 19 minutes\* |
| **Polygon PoS** | \~33              | \~75 to 120 seconds  |
| **Solana**      | 32                | \~25 seconds         |
| **Sui**         | 1                 | \~8 seconds          |
| **Aptos**       | 1                 | \~8 seconds          |
| **Unichain**    | \~65 ETH blocks\* | \~13 to 19 minutes\* |

<Note>
  **Block confirmations for L2s to Ethereum**

  Layer 2 (L2) blockchains publish transaction data in batches to Ethereum L1, and
  the frequency of these posts varies by chain. Some submit batches every few
  minutes, while others are less frequent. After a batch is posted, Circle waits
  for the Ethereum L1 block containing the batch to finalize, which typically
  happens after \~65 blocks, or 13 to 19 minutes, before issuing an attestation.
