👀 Circle is coming out with Arc #usdc 🔷 Arc: The Blockchain Infrastructure for Stablecoin Finance Arc is a next-generation, EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain developed by Circle to serve as the trusted foundation for programmable money and tokenized finance. Purpose-built to overcome the limitations of existing blockchains, Arc is engineered for stability, speed, security, and compliance, unlocking the full potential of digital dollars and tokenized assets. 💵 USDC as Native Gas, Predictable Costs Arc uses USDC (and other local stablecoins) for gas fees eliminating the volatility of native tokens like ETH. Enables enterprise-grade financial planning with stable, dollar-denominated operational costs. Protocol-level fee smoothing ensures low, consistent fees. ⚡ Sub-Second Finality Institutional-Grade Settlement Built on Malachite, a Tendermint-based BFT consensus engine. Delivers 1 second deterministic settlement finality, with ~3,000–10,000 TPS. Validated by a permissioned set of regulated, high-trust institutions. 🕵️‍♂️ Opt-In Privacy Built for Compliance Roadmap includes confidential transfers (hide amounts, not addresses). Enables selective disclosure to regulators/auditors. Modular cryptography stack supports TEEs, ZKPs, and future privacy tech. 🌐 Ecosystem Flywheel 🔁 Liquidity Hub for Stablecoins Arc is the native issuance chain for USDC, EURC, and USYC. Seamless cross-chain flows via Circle’s CCTP and Gateway. Fastest onramp/offramp for fiat-to-stablecoin conversion. 💱 Programmable FX & Tokenized Assets Supports multi-currency stablecoins, tokenized money market funds (e.g. USYC), and eventually RWAs (equities, bonds, funds). Onchain FX engine for 24/7 payment-vs-payment (PvP) settlement. Integrated RFQ execution layer for institutional FX. 🏦 Enterprise-Ready Payment Stack Native support for invoice-linked payments, dispute resolution, and smart treasury agents. Enables fully programmable B2B payments, payroll, and treasury workflows. 🚀 Go-to-Market & Roadmap Testnet Launch: Fall 2025 Mainnet Beta: Stable fee architecture, deterministic finality, FX engine Roadmap includes: Confidential payments → programmable privacy MEV mitigation (encrypted mempools, batching) Transition to permissioned Proof-of-Stake Enhanced validator decentralization and governance 🎯 Vision Arc bridges the trust of traditional finance with the innovation of Web3. It’s where the speed and openness of the internet meet the reliability of regulated finance, powering the next generation of stablecoin-based payments, tokenized capital markets, and real-time financial infrastructure. @circle 👏 | Hutch🐧❇️ OKX Feed
