Arc Public Testnet is LIVE!!
Arc is revolutionizing enterprise blockchain infrastructure by introducing the first purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin finance, real-world assets, and global payments—backed by Circle's $1.2 billion IPO and participation from over 100 global institutions spanning BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, Amazon Web Services, and numerous Fortune 500 companies. After months of private testnet refinement, Arc's public testnet is now live, offering developers an unprecedented opportunity to build the next generation of institutional-grade financial applications on blockchain infrastructure that finally meets enterprise demands.
At its architectural core, Arc represents a seismic shift in blockchain design philosophy. Instead of being a general-purpose network struggling under the weight of gaming, NFTs, and speculative trading, Arc is purpose-built from line one to excel exclusively at stablecoin finance, capital markets, foreign exchange, and payments. The breakthrough innovation is USDC as native gas, eliminating the friction of volatile crypto for gas fees and enabling predictable, dollar-denominated transaction costs whether transferring $1 or $1 billion. This single design choice addresses the primary objection that has prevented enterprises from building onchain financial infrastructure.
Arc's technical foundation is built on Malachite, a high-performance Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus engine developed by Informal Systems—now under Circle's stewardship. The network delivers sub-second deterministic finality, enabling instant settlement that meets the PFMI Principle 8 standard required by institutional-grade financial market infrastructure. The blockchain features 100% EVM compatibility so developers can deploy using familiar Solidity, Hardhat, and Foundry tooling; opt-in configurable privacy enabling enterprises to shield sensitive financial data; native FX engines for real-time cross-stablecoin liquidity; and seamless integration with Circle's full-stack platform including CCTP (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol), Gateway, Paymaster, and Mint.
The ecosystem expanding on Arc is staggering: regional stablecoin issuers across Australia (AUDF), Brazil (BRLA), Mexico (MXNB), Canada (QCAD), Japan (JPYC), and the Philippines (PHPC); capital markets powerhouses including BNY Mellon, Intercontinental Exchange, and State Street; major exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood; and infrastructure leaders including Alchemy, Chainlink, LayerZero, and Thirdweb.
Arc represents the Economic Operating System for the internet—where billions in global economic activity, trillions in assets, and hundreds of trillions in payment flows converge on a single, trusted, neutral foundation. This is your opportunity to build at the intersection of Wall Street and Web3, where real economic velocity meets programmable money.
