Acquiring Creditcoin Assets

The Creditcoin ecosystem uses multiple CTC assets across different networks, each serving a specific purpose, from powering transactions to enabling staking and cross-chain transfers.

This guide shows you how to acquire CTC assets on Ethereum and bridge them to the Creditcoin network to participate in DeFi, dApps, staking, and trading ecosystem tokens on Penguinswap.

💡 Learn more about CTC assets in our CTC token 101 guide.

How to Get CTC: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet

Before acquiring or bridging assets, set up your Credit Wallet, your gateway to the Creditcoin network and its ecosystem tokens.

1. Download and install Credit Wallet

2. Create or import your EVM wallet.

3. If creating a new one, be sure to back up your private key or recovery phrase securely.

Step 2: Acquire Creditcoin Assets on Ethereum

We offer the flexibility to acquire CTC assets on Ethereum in two ways, depending on your preference: centralized or decentralized.

Option 1: Centralized – CTC via Exchanges

Best for: Simple access and liquidity

Buy CTC on supported exchanges.

Option 2: Decentralized – CTC (ERC-20) via Uniswap

Best for: Multi-chain features and DeFi

Two Ethereum-based tokens are available:

1. WCTC (new). Acquire directly here.

2. For DEXs, CTC (ERC-20) is also known as G-CRE. Acquire G-CRE directly here.

Note: You’ll need ETH for gas fees to complete the transaction.

💡 You can also use USDT on Ethereum to get started. See next section.

Bonus: Bridge to the Creditcoin Network

To participate in the Creditcoin ecosystem, bridge your CTC to the Creditcoin network to trade on Penguinswap, access dApps and ecosystem tokens, and pay for transaction fees.

What token are you bridging?

I have CTC (G-CRE)

Use the SwapCTC Tool to request a one-way bridge for your CTC (G-CRE) tokens to the Creditcoin network.

Please note that this is a manual process that takes up to 1 week to complete. For detailed instructions, check out our SwapCTC Bridge Tutorial.

I have WCTC on Ethereum or BNB (recommended path)

Use the Wormhole Portal Bridge to move tokens across Ethereum, BNB, and Creditcoin. Connect your wallet to Portal Bridge and select Creditcoin as the destination network and CTC as the token asset.

After bridging, you will receive CTC on the Creditcoin Network. This CTC can be used immediately as bridge fees. *Bridge your assets back to Ethereum or BNB at any time.

I have USDT on Ethereum

Bridge USDT to Creditcoin using the Wormhole Portal Bridge, and receive USDT.C at a 1:1 ratio.

Important Notes

• Bridge fees are charged on the source chain.

• All token swaps on Creditcoin require CTC for gas fees.

Bonus #2: Stake CTC, and Earn Yield

If you wish to earn yield on your CTC, convert to CTC (Native) for staking on the Creditcoin Mainnet.
