# Collateral Credits Clearing (CCC)

#### 💡 What is CCC?

CCC is Gasyard’s internal clearing mechanism that decouples user collateral deposits from settlement execution. It enables Solvers to execute user requests without directly unlocking collateral from the source chain, reducing wait times and settlement risks.

***

#### ⚙️ How CCC Works:

* When a user initiates a cross-chain transaction, their funds are deposited into the source chain's smart contract.
* Once deposited, an equivalent amount of **Credits** (pegged to USDC minus fees) is minted for the Solver on the destination chain.
* Solvers can claim these Credits at any time and convert them 1:1 to USDC, securing guaranteed settlement without waiting for source-chain unlocks.

***

#### 💡 Benefits:

* **Near-Instant Settlement:** Solvers receive Credits on the destination chain as soon as the transaction is confirmed on the source chain.
* **Reduced Solver Risk:** Since Credits are backed by pooled collateral in USDC, Solvers are insulated from source-chain slippage and unlock delays.
* **Liquidity Efficiency:** Solvers rebalance using CCC rather than locking capital per transaction.
* **Dynamic Fee Structures:** Fees are adjustable based on the volatility and type of token (e.g. stablecoins like USDC could have 0.1% fees while volatile assets may incur 0.5%).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://gasyard-1.gitbook.io/gasyard/collateral-credits-clearing-ccc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
