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 the Penguinswap ecosystem for trading ecosystem tokens.

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

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 Step 3 for how to bridge and swap it for CTC.

Bonus: Bridge to the Creditcoin Network

To participate in multi-chain Creditcoin EVM network activities, such as exploring DePIN, RWA, and DeFi protocols, bridge your CTC ecosystem assets.

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.

I have WCTC on Ethereum or BNB

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.

This is a two-way bridge; you can move 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. Then swap USDT.C→ CTC on Penguinswap to start using CTC on Creditcoin.

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.
