Over the past several months, we’ve focused on one thing: showing what’s possible when blockchain technology is put to work.
Today, we’re bringing that story together.
Our new brand reflects a simple belief: the future of blockchain will be defined by businesses using the technology to move money, modernize infrastructure, and create entirely new products and experiences.
You’ll also notice a renewed connection to the imagery that inspired our name. Because like an avalanche, transformational change builds slowly, gains momentum, and eventually becomes impossible to ignore.
That’s the moment we believe this industry is entering.
Avalanche. Technology Built for Business.

Join us at virtual Arc House event - Hackathon: The Stablecoins Commerce Stack Challenge - April 14, 2026 12:00 AM EDT @arc https://t.co/xzIJf2ZD70 #ArcHouse
A great project is defined by how they value its contributors. Thank you to the @arc
team for approving my Architect Tier 1 status. Let's continue building a stronger network together!
On the heels of the Privacy Sector announcement the other day, we're also publishing exciting research we've made on the Multi-proposer front
Introducing the Arc Multi-Proposer Protocol (AMP)
AMP brings (i) bounded inclusion and (ii) stronger ordering guarantees so that user flows on Arc have the best experience possible on decentralized infra
Brief explanation: Most network let a single validator decide what's in the next block and in what order. That discretion is where MEV lives, and it's the kind of discretion traditional markets explicitly regulate
AMP introduces a new role: proposers
Proposers have a super-power: they bundle user transactions into Payloads and broadcast them to validators. Once a Proposer talks to quorum of validators, then their Payload __must__ appear in the next block, in a fixed order. There is still a block assembler, but it no longer has discretion over what goes into a block.
If inclusion and ordering matter to your flows and your users, then AMP gives you a direct path to validators with protocol-enforced guarantees
We're actively looking for design partners! DM me, or subscribe here and we'll get back to you: https://t.co/Ft5F8DFlHl
first live diving into the Arc ecosystem as they are executing their GTM
more and more teams are joining @arc and so far the team at @BuildOnCircle are doing well.
next phase is attracting the right team and making the apps on Arc revenue generating as they rollout mainnet.
This Thursday, we will be hosting an event in Circle's Singapore office to share about Circle Agent Stack and how you can participate in this growing agentic economy.
It will be an interactive session so highly recommended for you to bring your laptop if you want a surprise 👀
Spaces are limited, so if you are around and interested, do RSVP. Let me know in the comments / DMs if you face any issue and if you are coming.

The Bored Room was an eight-hour waiting game about legacy financial rails.
Approvals stalled. FX leaked value. Banking hours got in the way. The payment never arrived.
Funny because it was fictional.
Painful because it was familiar.
Arc is designed to fix this. An open internet platform built for:
→ 24/7 settlement
→ Sub-second finality
→ Stablecoin-native payments
→ Programmable FX
→ Agentic economic activity
Read the recap: https://t.co/D7PLPlgoG7
We’re in New York for ETHGlobal New York from June 12–14, 2026 with $15,000 in prizes for best submissions.
Building on Arc in NYC? We’re looking for stablecoin-native applications built on Arc and with Circle tooling across wallets, interops, App Kit, and the new Agent Stack.
Come ship with the team, get hands-on support, share product feedback, and compete for prizes.
See you here!

Payroll is still shaped by banking windows and fixed cycles.
@Zebec_HQ has made the most of USDC and EURC to build a multichain payroll and payments platform that supports real-time payroll streaming, cross-border payouts, and card-based spending.
That has helped Zebec scale to:
→ $500M+ in annual payroll
→ 250+ enterprise clients
→ 13,000+ employees served
→ 50,000+ monthly users

The debate about whether open payments infrastructure could compete with closed networks is over.
