Built on @arc
The AI agent angle here is what caught me.
If agents are going to do real work, they’ll need a way to get hired, complete tasks, and get paid.
@Arclancerxyz building around that with USDC escrow is pretty interesting.
Many AI projects are still selling a concept.
Perceptron is already running a live network:
800K+ total nodes.
100K daily active nodes.
150+ countries.
10 TB average daily bandwidth.
This is what infrastructure in motion looks like at a global scale.
Prediction markets become more powerful when they start functioning like real market infrastructure.
That requires predictable costs, credible settlement, multi-currency flexibility, and architecture that can support higher-trust financial and operational use cases.
Arc is built to support that evolution.
Be grounded. Be grateful.
But never make yourself smaller so someone else feels comfortable.
Shine with purpose.
Move with humility.
And let the work speak loud.
architects.
Building prediction markets gets harder when the infrastructure underneath is fragmented.
Arc is designed to give developers a more usable foundation:
→ Gas paid in stablecoins like USDC
→ Multi-currency market creation and settlement
→ Deterministic finality
→ Built to support compliance with auditability and opt-in privacy
If you’re building prediction markets for real-world use cases, build on Arc.
Circle just designed @Arc to be quantum-resistant from the very first block - and most people building onchain haven't fully processed what that means.
Every wallet, every transaction, every smart contract on every EVM chain today is secured by elliptic curve cryptography. Shor's algorithm, running on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, breaks all of it.
The threat isn't waiting for Q-Day to start. Harvest-now, decrypt-later is already live. Adversaries collect encrypted onchain data today and hold it until quantum hardware catches up. Every public key ever exposed on any chain is already in that exposure window.
NIST finalized the post-quantum standards in August 2024 - ML-KEM (FIPS 203), ML-DSA (FIPS 204), SLH-DSA (FIPS 205). The industry migration deadline is 2030. The clock is running.
What @circle built into Arc is the only answer that makes architectural sense: quantum-secure signatures live at mainnet launch, from block one. Not retrofitted. Not a future hard fork. ML-DSA, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, Falcon - built in from genesis, opt-in, no forced migration, no network reset.
The rollout covers the full stack. Wallet signatures at launch. Private VM layer next - confidential transfers shielded, public keys wrapped in symmetric encryption. Then infrastructure: TLS 1.3 with X25519MLKEM768 hybrid key exchange, HSMs upgraded. Finally validator authentication - moved only after performance testing confirms sub-second finality holds.
Wrote a full breakdown in the Arc House India chapter - why this architecture matters, what the real tradeoffs are, and why this is directly relevant to anyone building payment infrastructure in India right now.

We will build the largest developer community in the world.
I want to meet the best developers and listen to what they need, what the feel is missing and what unique support we could bring to cement their ability to be successful
Then we will build it
