USDC on xdai vs ethereum chain

Does the USDC has to come from and start in the ethereum chain? I was thinking to just swap xdai to USDC on xdai chain and start using the perpetual protocol. is this possible or does the USDC has to start on the ethereum network?

Hi!

We recommend coming to our Discord to ask questions. The team hangs out there every day. https://discord.perp.fi/

You can swap xDAI for USDC on Honeyswap etc. and start trading on perp.exchange, however liquidity is limited afaik.
