Arc Mainnet is live.
Arc launches as the Economic OS for the internet: an open platform for global markets, real-time value movement, tokenized assets, and agentic economic activity.
Arc is more than a blockchain.
It launches as a full-stack financial platform with assets, applications, interoperability, developer infrastructure, and Circle platform services live from day one.
Arc delivers USDC as native gas, deterministic sub-second finality, EVM compatibility, and institutional validators.
It integrates with Arc Studio, App Kits, Arc Portal, Circle Agent Stack, CCTP, Gateway, CPN, and StableFX.
A complete economic platform at genesis.
Arc launches with infrastructure for:
→ Agentic economic workflows
→ Lending and borrowing
→ Trading and liquidity
→ Onchain FX
→ Payments and settlement
→ Tokenized assets
→ Exchanges, wallets, custody, compliance, data, and developer tooling
190+ institutional and ecosystem builders are building across Arc.
Building onchain shouldn’t feel like an obstacle course.
Arc Studio helps builders turn ideas into usable applications faster.

@TxnSheng will show how to build a USDC checkout from Claude Code, Codex or Cursor with the Arc Studio CLI, then pull the code back into your project.
Come with questions.

Before an agent gets access to your data or money, you need a way to trust its work.
@gaganmac walks through the infrastructure being built on Arc for agent identity, private execution, and reviewable work histories.
A look at how agents could earn that trust over time.
First, @arc went live on BVNK. Now, BVNK is live on Arc. We’ve partnered with @Circle and @Arc to power high-value bank transfers inside Circle’s Onramp Kit. Arc dApps can now let users move funds directly from ACH, Wire, or SEPA into USDC on Arc without juggling separate payment integrations 🤝
EURC is now supported as collateral on Extended.
You can now deposit $EURC on @arc, Ethereum or Base and use it as margin across all perpetual markets, with no conversion to @USDC required.
EURC launches at a 90% contribution factor, which will move to 95% after an initial monitoring period.
Why @arc makes sense to agents
Agents don’t care which chain they use. They care about speed and cost.
Arc gives agents the rails to move money efficiently while helping humans maintain the controls needed to operate safely.
@catena_labs breaks it down! Watch the clip👇
Alcove is built on @circle xReserve. Deposit @USDC from @arc, @ethereum and other CCTP-supported chains and receive USDCx, which is USDC-backed and live on Aleo.
Simple, fast, and private.
Arc 🤝 @BVNKFinance

WEEK 6 — ARC ACCELERATION SEASON
The sixth week of the 6-week program with @Arc is done, where we're working with fintech and AI startups as they take their businesses to the next stage of growth on Arc.
This week we had a group mentorship session, a masterclass on venture capital, and a run of 1:1s to sharpen decks, listen to each pitch and make it stronger, all to get teams ready for Demo Day. Next Friday, November 13, every team will pitch their startup and show what they've built.
⚡@ClawRouter_ , BlockRun MCP, and @FranklinRun_ now support payments on @arc.
Your agents can pay per call for models, image generation, and search — all in USDC on Arc.

I think the agents found nanopayments…3.2M payments in the last 24 hours, the biggest day to-date!
On @arc@Circle Gateway Nanopayments are:
-Gas-free USDC payments
-Txn sizes from $0.000001 to $1M+
-Settled in milliseconds
-Built for agents that pay per call
🤖Agents have always loved @USDC (99.6% of agentic payments use it), and now they’re starting to discover the magic of nanopayments.
