 # @circle-fin/provider-cctp-v2
 
+## 1.4.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- More accurate gas fee estimates for CCTP v2 bridge operations.
+
+## 1.4.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Add Circle Forwarder support for CCTP v2 bridging.
+
+  Forwarding is a relay-assisted mode where Circle observes the burn transaction,
+  retrieves attestation data, and submits the destination mint on the user's
+  behalf. This removes most destination-side orchestration from client code.
+
+  What this enables:
+  - Opt-in forwarding with `useForwarder: true` so Circle handles destination mint
+    submission.
+  - Forwarder-only destinations (no destination adapter required) using
+    `{ recipientAddress, chain, useForwarder: true }`.
+  - Forwarding-fee-aware estimation and max-fee calculation when `maxFee` is
+    auto-derived.
+  - New hook-based burn actions: `cctp.v2.depositForBurnWithHook` and
+    `cctp.v2.customBurnWithHook`.
+  - New forwarding helpers: `buildForwardingHookData` and
+    `buildForwardingHookDataBuffer`.
+  - Chain-level forwarding metadata via `cctp.forwarderSupported` for route
+    capability checks.
+
+  Compatibility:
+  - Existing non-forwarded bridge flows remain unchanged.
+  - If you set `config.maxFee` manually, include any expected forwarding fee.

 ## Overview
 
 The CCTPv2 Bridging Provider is a strongly-typed implementation of Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) version 2 that enables **native USDC bridging** between 34+ supported blockchain networks.
 
-While primarily designed to power the [Bridge Kit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@circle-fin/bridge-kit), this provider can also be used **directly in applications** that need fine-grained control over the CCTP transfer process or want to integrate CCTP without the full Stablecoin Kits framework.

+
+## Forwarder Integration
+
+The CCTPv2 provider supports Circle's Orbit relayer for automated attestation and mint handling.
+When enabled, the relayer automatically fetches the attestation and submits the mint transaction,
+eliminating the need for the user to manage the destination chain transaction.
+
+You can check forwarder route support explicitly:
+
+```typescript
+const canForward = provider.supportsRoute(
+  'Ethereum,
+  'Base,
+  'USDC',
+  true,
+)
+```
+
+### Standard Bridge with Forwarder
+
+Use `useForwarder: true` when you have adapters for both chains but want Circle to handle the mint:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await kit.bridge({
+  from: { adapter: sourceAdapter, chain: 'Ethereum' },
+  to: {
+    adapter: destAdapter,
+    chain: 'Base',
+    useForwarder: true, // Circle handles attestation + mint
+  },
+  amount: '100.50',
+})
+```
+
+### Forwarder-Only Destination
+
+When you don't have access to the destination chain (no wallet/adapter), use forwarder-only mode.
+This is useful for server-side transfers or when users don't have a wallet on the destination chain:
+
+```typescript
+const result = await kit.bridge({
+  from: { adapter: sourceAdapter, chain: 'Ethereum' },
+  to: {
+    recipientAddress: '0x...', // Where to receive USDC
+    chain: 'Base',
+    useForwarder: true, // Required for forwarder-only
+  },
+  amount: '100.50',
+})
+```
+
+**Key differences from standard bridging:**
+
+- No destination adapter required
+- Mint confirmation via IRIS API (not on-chain receipt)
+- Mint step's `data` field will be `undefined`
+
+### Relay Fee Handling
+
+When using the forwarder, a relay fee is automatically included in the `maxFee` estimate:
+
+- The relay fee is fetched from Circle's API based on source/destination chains
+- Fee is deducted from the minted USDC at mint time
+- Net received amount = burn amount - relay fee
+
+The fee estimation accounts for this automatically:
+
+```typescript
+const estimate = await provider.estimate({
+  from: { adapter: sourceAdapter, chain: 'Ethereum' },
+  to: {
+    recipientAddress: '0x...',
+    chain: 'Base',
+    useForwarder: true,
+  },
+  amount: '100.50',
+})
+
+console.log(estimate.fees) // Includes both provider and forwarder fee entries
+```
+
+> If you provide `config.maxFee` manually, ensure it already includes any expected
+> forwarder fee for the selected route and speed.
