You can use **AOX**, a cross-chain bridge platform, to convert **USDC from Ethereum** into **wUSDC on the AO (Arweave) network**.

Start by visiting AOX here: [https://aox.xyz/#/home](https://aox.xyz/#/home).

---

## 🔎 1. What is AOX?

**AOX** is the first cross-chain bridge in the AO ecosystem, developed by **everVision Labs**.
With AOX, users can transfer assets such as **USDC, USDT, or AR** from external chains like Ethereum into AO by wrapping them into AO-native tokens like **wUSDC** or **wAR**.
