Arc, is Plasma created by Circle stable?
It is a Layer 1 blockchain project specialized in finance developed by Circle's stablecoin.
It seems like they are trying to cover a broader range, including STO, tokenized stocks, real estate, and RWA?
Gas fees are naturally paid in USDC.
However, since it is a Layer 1 directly developed by Circle, I'm not sure if tokens will be created or if there will be opportunities for retail.
There are plans to transition from PoA to PoS in the future, but it is said to be based on the stakes of institutional validators rather than Arc token.
They are introducing option-based privacy technology, which encrypts transaction amounts and provides them only to auditors and government agencies when necessary. This suggests they are trying to show a regulatory-friendly stance.
By using CCTP, they plan to facilitate liquidity movement between other USDC-supported networks, but I wonder if it might lead to taking liquidity from others...
Introducing Arc, an open Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin finance.
From payments to FX to capital markets, Arc is the home for builders innovating with digital money and tokenized value on the internet.
Stablecoins have shown us what’s possible.
They’ve powered trillions in onchain transactions and unlocked a faster, more open financial system.
Arc is designed to provide an enterprise-grade foundation with the performance, reliability, and liquidity needed to scale stablecoin use cases worldwide.
Featuring:
✅ USDC as native gas
✅ Built-in FX engine
✅ Deterministic sub-second finality
✅ Opt-in privacy
✅ Full Circle platform integration
At its core is Malachite, a high-performance consensus engine developed by @informalinc that powers Arc with safety, liveness, and resilience at scale.
Arc expands the design space for stablecoins by uniting speed with certainty and delivering the native tooling needed to meet real-world business obligations.
Open and composable, Arc is designed to interoperate seamlessly with the broader multichain ecosystem.
Fully EVM-compatible, developers will be able to build on Arc using the same frameworks and tooling they know and trust.
Together, we’re laying the foundation to move stablecoin finance from early adoption to globally trusted infrastructure.
Arc will enter private testnet in the coming weeks, with public testnet expected this fall.
