bridge-tokens

bridge-tokens is a skill for Claude Code from circlefin/skills. It costs 186 tokens per session (4,306 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for moving supported tokens between blockchain networks using Circle's App Kit or Bridge Kit. A blockchain network is a separate system for recording token transactions, so bridging transfers value from one network to another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to let browser or server applications bridge USDC and supported tokens across compatible EVM and Solana routes.
Why use it?
It provides the steps and safety boundaries for cross-network transfers without requiring you to choose the underlying transfer protocol yourself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bridge-tokens scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Overview

This skill bridges tokens across chains with Circle's App Kit or Bridge Kit. USDC moves over Crosschain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) -- burn on the source chain, mint on the destination. CCTPx tokens use a registry alias (such as wETH, cirBTC, or EURC) or a registry-listed token ID. Both run through the same kit.bridge() call -- pass the alias or token ID directly as token and the SDK routes it automatically; there is no protocol to choose. App Kit (@circle-fin/app-kit) is Circle's all-inclusive SDK covering bridge, swap, and send in one package; standalone Bridge Kit (@circle-fin/bridge-kit) ships the same bridge API in a lighter package. Recommend App Kit unless the user wants bridge-only functionality. Bridge operations need no kit key.

Both SDKs run in browser and server applications. Use browser wallet provider adapters in client code and keep private keys plus Circle Wallets credentials on the server. App Kit >=1.11.0 and Bridge Kit >=1.12.2 bundle for browsers without consumer-provided Node or Buffer polyfills. CCTPx tokens require App Kit or Bridge Kit >=1.15.0; browser apps bridging CCTPx tokens need App Kit >=1.15.2 or Bridge Kit >=1.15.1.

Supported tokens & routes

Pass a registry alias or token ID directly as token in kit.bridge() and kit.estimateBridge() (App Kit) / kit.estimate() (Bridge Kit); do not wrap it in a provider-selector object. The SDK routes it to the correct protocol automatically. Only USDC supports Solana; every CCTPx route is EVM-to-EVM. Aliases are case-sensitive ("wETH", not "WETH"), and a token ID is a bytes32 hex string (0x followed by 64 hex characters).

Token selector Supported chains
USDC All CCTP-supported chains (EVM + Solana) -- see supported chains
EURC Ethereum, Base, and Arc on mainnet, plus eligible testnet routes
wETH Ethereum <-> Arc on mainnet, plus eligible testnet routes
cirBTC Ethereum <-> Arc on mainnet, plus eligible testnet routes
Registry-listed token ID Any EVM route where the CCTPx registry lists that token on both endpoint domains
