The Wormhole Sent my USDC to a Parallel Universe

[MJSykes888]

To get started using Solana, I first funded a new Solflare Chrome Extension wallet with a bit of SOL (from FTX) and then I tried using wormholebridge.com to transfer USDC from my MetaMask wallet to my Solflare wallet. I expected to receive wUSDC tokens which I could trade for Solana tokens or use for liquidity mining on Radium or Saber. Instead, I received "A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM" tokens in my Solflare wallet! When I connect my Solflare wallet to other Solana apps, my SOL balance is detected but not my wUSDC or A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM token balance. Please help me convert my A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM tokens into a wrapped USDC token format that can be used on Solana (if such a format exists). Does "wUSDC" refer to erc20 tokens that were wrapped in some way other than the wormholebridge? Is there a more popular ETH to Solana bridge?

Experienced the same issue tonight, tried the new v2 bridge expecting to get USDC SPL same as I have through sollet, instead received USD Coin (Wormhole) which I can only get the wormhole itself to recognize

I'd have been less concerned if I received "USDC Wormhole" tokens instead of A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM tokens.
However, I discovered one Solana app that recognizes my A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM tokens: mercurial.finance.

Thanks for the tip, swapped on mercurial to the regular SPL USDC without issue.

The token A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM is the "weUSDC" token on Saber.so and is tradable for other USD stablecoins.

[MJSykes888]

Saber.so will not load for me. Is it incompatible with the Solflare Chrome Extension wallet?

[quentinadam]

Have you tried with Phantom wallet (https://phantom.app/) ?

Like @quentinadam correctly stated above, A9mUU4qviSctJVPJdBJWkb28deg915LYJKrzQ19ji3FM is Wormhole-wrapped USDC that can be traded on Saber (and likely others), or sent back to ETH.
