[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-iLKFWvlc61)\n\n## Overview\n\nArbitrum One supports two types of [USDC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/usdc): native USDC issued directly on the Arbitrum One chain, and bridged USDC (USDC.e), which consists of [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)-native USDC tokens transferred to Arbitrum via a bridge. By processing transactions off-chain and then submitting a summary back to the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet), [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) significantly enhances the network's efficiency. [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) Bridged WETH (WETH) is a crucial component within this ecosystem, representing [Ethereum's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) native cryptocurrency, Ethereum, in a form compatible with [Arbitrum's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) and [decentralized applications (dApps)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). This process allows users to participate in [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) activities, trade [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft), and utilize other dApps on [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) with the benefits of its [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) architecture, while maintaining the value peg to ETH.
