Arc just published a privacy whitepaper and one line from it stuck with me.
"The primary obstacle is no longer pure cryptography."
The tools for onchain privacy have existed for years. The problem was never technical. It was adoption.
Think about how real finance actually works. A company running payroll can't broadcast every employee's salary to a public ledger. A lending desk can't publish its collateral positions in real time without moving the market against itself. An asset issuer can't make its entire cap table globally readable.
These aren't edge cases. They're the standard workflows of every financial institution on the planet.
Arc's approach keeps two things that matter most to builders, the EVM and Solidity, while adding a private execution environment inside hardware enclaves. Public and private transactions finalize in the same block. No bridges. No waiting. No separate chain.
The part that changes everything for institutions is the access model. A compliance team sees what it needs. An auditor gets the access required. A counterparty sees only what's relevant to their trade. Everyone else sees nothing.
That's not anonymity. That's access control. And for real financial applications that distinction is everything.
Read the full detailed breakdown by Tim on Arc House.
The Bored Room was exactly what @arc needed to say out loud.
The old financial system doesn't fail dramatically. It just makes you wait. Three business days here.
Approval pending there. Settlement processing somewhere in between.
Arc built an entire cast of characters around this reality. And the point landed harder because of it.
The future of finance shouldn't feel like a waiting room. Bored level Critical btw 😂
The old financial system has kept us waiting long enough.
Tomorrow, Arc is hosting The Bored Room a livestream about an absurd reality that every single person in finance has lived through.
Money that takes three business days to move. Approvals stuck in queues. Settlements that should take seconds taking days.
Arc built an entire piece of corporate theater around this problem. And honestly? It deserved one.
The Bored Room goes live in 18 hours on @arc House.
Don't miss it.
@sadiq_u_know@arc@ugwuharley@btcmonie The Arc community has a way of bringing the right people together. The connections you make here feel different because everyone is actually building something real. I'm really glad to have connected with you.
Just Got my @arc Architect badge and honestly it feels earned.
Every session, every comment, every build has been leading here.
Huge thanks to the Arc team for recognising the effort, it genuinely means a lot. This ecosystem is the real deal and I'm just getting started.

I see @Arc more like a hub where assets are actually born.
It works like an Economic OS so we can focus on the money, not just the tech. For example, if you issue a stablecoin on @Arc, it’s already built to move between different chains from day one.
I really liked this chat between Corey Cooper, @simonlapscher, and Sam Magnant.
Watch the video below to see how they are building the internet financial system. It’s great for anyone building onchain.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how builders use @Arc to settle transactions onchain for less than a cent.
This is a big chance to build AI agents that can move USDC without high fees hurting the margin.
Only 2 days left until the Agentic Economy hackathon starts on @LablabAi.
Registration is still open below. Let’s start building.
Just deployed my first token contract on @Arc testnet!
Following the guide by @Sadiq_u_know made the process seamless. A great starting point for understanding how to build onchain primitives within the Internet Financial System.
Excited to keep building and exploring more on Arc.
Here is the link to the guide

The @Arc ecosystem is a great place to learn. Staying active here really helps someone go from an enthusiast to a builder. The support from the team and other architects is very helpful.
I am looking forward to joining the other architects on this project. This is a great start to buidl for the internet financial system.
Good day Architects. 🔥
The Arc ecosystem feels more local now.
Regional Chapters are now live on arc House.
If you've been building on @arc and wondering if anyone near you is working on the same things, this is the answer to that.
Local builders. Local collaborators. Same global infrastructure.
The Economic OS just got a community layer to match.
More countries are being added soon. If yours isn't on the list yet, it will be soon...
Bitcoin Pizza Day is a reminder that the first real onchain transaction looked insane to most people at the time.
Building on @arc feels the same way right now.
Most people don't see it yet. That's usually the point.
