Arc is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain developed by Circle, the "Economic Operating System" for onchain finance. Arc uses USDC as its native gas token, giving applications predictable, dollar-denominated transaction costs. Powered by the Malachite consensus engine, a Tendermint BFT protocol, Arc delivers sub-second deterministic finality. Built to meet the throughput demands of global financial infrastructure, Arc aims to deliver settlement headroom far beyond what legacy systems like Fedwire process daily.
Beyond its stablecoin-native gas model, Arc ships with Circle infrastructure built in: StableFX for institutional onchain foreign exchange, CCTP for cross-chain USDC transfers, and Gateway for unified multichain balances. With opt-in privacy controls and audit-ready compliance features, Arc serves fintechs, asset issuers, treasury teams, AI agent developers, and enterprises building regulated financial infrastructure.
