Arc Testnet will undergo a planned load testing phase on July 8, 2026.
The goal is to profile network performance and stability under edge-case conditions.
During testing, users may experience network congestion, higher failed transaction rates, higher fees, higher block times, and brief pauses in block production.

Arc Transaction Memos are now available on Arc Testnet.
Memo-enabled calls add structured context to contract execution, preserve sender attribution, and only emit memo events when the contract call succeeds.
Use them to:
→ Add invoice IDs, payout refs, or customer IDs
→ Track payment context onchain
→ Make payments easier to reconcile

Builders need privacy primitives they can apply to real products.
Arc’s future confidential execution pathways are designed to support opt-in private transactions and private smart contract states in a familiar EVM environment.
That could help developers build for:
→ Private lending flows
→ Perps and trading workflows
→ Protected positions and strategy
→ Multi-step private app logic
→ Public and private transactions in the same block
A roadmap for composable privacy in onchain finance.
Privacy is not the same as anonymity.
Join us for a Arc Privacy Whitepaper discussion and what future opt-in confidentiality could unlock for builders on Arc.
We’ll cover:
→ Why public-by-default transparency can limit real-world financial workflows
→ How Arc frames confidentiality with governed visibility
→ Use cases across payroll, treasury, trading, lending, and swaps
→ What is published, planned, not yet live, or still evolving
