Routing

Routing is the path between a listed asset and the asset the market prices in. Native curves raise USDC or EURC on Arc. A buy converts a funding source into the quote, then hits the curve or pool. A sell hits the venue first, then can convert the quote into another Arc asset in the same TradeRouter call.

Most tickets start off the quote asset. The terminal should show the hops instead of hiding a bridge or a convert inside a single button.

Buy: funding → convert → quote → Wick Curve
Sell: token → Wick Curve → convert → receive asset

Listed funding sources: USDC on Arc; EURC on Arc; USDC on Base; USDC on Ethereum.

• Same-asset Arc source — no bridge, no convert.
• Different Arc asset on a buy — convert to the market quote, then Wick Curve (or the ignited pool).
• Different Arc asset on a sell — Wick Curve (or the ignited pool), then convert the quote into the receive asset.
• Other network — buy may bridge to Arc; a sell does not bridge.
• If a route is unavailable the ticket says so and does not invent a quote.

Bridges and converts can fail, cost extra, or settle late. A ready quote in the ticket is still a quote. Mock adapters on testnet are not production venues — see Contracts.

Open Route details on the ticket and read every hop. If you want the simplest path, fund with the market quote on Arc.
