If you read the litepaper, @arc is:
- PoA network, hence the name open L1 not public L1
- Sub-second finality for the nature of controlled node operator sets, 20 nodes in the paper
- Opt-in privacy is basically confidential balance like the one in @solana, so no shared state. Still only actual private execution are available on @0xMiden, @aztecnetwork, @AleoHQ
- Gas on arc is usdc, now everyone who wants to use the network need to have USD
- Built-in FX is hella cool, once they have shared private state, there will be no stopping for them to become the biggest FX exchange player.
Whoever the PM is for this blockchain, they def addressed every painpoint of institutional customers, good job.
It’s def a different flavor than most public ledgers out there, but distribution trumps everything🫡
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.
