Circle has announced that the CCTP V1 (Legacy) protocol will begin deprecating on October 31, 2026.
This does not affect any of the dYdX Chain operations today and Noble USDC remains supported.

Reminder: CCTP V1 (Legacy) deprecation begins on October 31, 2026 and completes on December 1, 2026.
If your app still routes USDC through CCTP V1 (Legacy) contracts, start your migration now.
CCTP V2 is now the path forward for:
→ Standard and Fast Transfer modes
→ Hooks and programmable composability features
→ New and upcoming chain support

5/ Why this move?
dYdX Chain achieved real decentralization. But it also made clear the tradeoffs: performance and user experience suffered, and the market responded.
Arcus combines dYdX's experience innovating in DeFi markets with Robinhood's world class expertise in creating financial products for millions of users - built around speed, liquidity, and user experience.
