Arc Portal: The Easiest Place To Get Started on Arc
Summary
Arc Portal brings wallet creation, funding, balances, and app discovery into one interface on Arc, so users can go from fiat to onchain activity without juggling separate tools. Learn how to earn, swap, send, delegate approved actions to an AI agent while keeping control over limits and permissions, and more.
Getting started on a new blockchain often means piecing together wallets, funding options, apps, and transaction flows before you can do what brought you to that blockchain in the first place.
Arc Portal makes it simpler for users on Arc to create or connect a wallet, fund it, view balances and activity, discover apps, and take common financial actions like earning, swapping, sending, and delegating approved actions to an AI agent – all from a single interface.
One place to discover Arc and take action
Arc Portal brings key Arc experiences together so users can move from intent to activity without stitching together multiple tools and interfaces.
Users can connect an existing wallet, or create and fund a new one through embedded onramp flows powered by Arc Onramp Kit, with third-party payment processors and identify verification providers. That means users can move from fiat to a usable onchain balance without leaving the Arc experience.
Circle Wrapped Bitcoin (cirBTC) is live on Arc Portal, bringing bitcoin liquidity into the Economic OS for internet-native financial markets. Navigate to the ‘swap’ functionality in Arc Portal to permissionlessly access cirBTC on Arc.
Users looking to put assets to work can access earning opportunities through Morpho, creating a more direct path from a funded wallet to opening a position.
For swaps, Portal integrates Li.Fi through Arc Swap Kit, allowing users to move between assets from the same experience rather than first finding and navigating to a separate exchange or bridge.
Portal also gives users a place to discover apps across the Arc ecosystem, helping them understand what they can do next once their wallet is funded.
Delegate to AI agents while staying in control
In addition to taking direct action, Arc Portal gives users a way to fund and use their own AI agents for financial actions within limits they set.
Through Agent Wallets and Circle Agent Stack, users can create or provision an agent wallet, fund it with a defined amount, set limits and permissions, connect it to an agent running in their own environment, and monitor activity from Arc Portal.
Portal does not create agents or custody users’ funds. Instead, it provides the wallet balances, controls, permissions, and visibility that users can connect to independently operated agents.
That gives users the ability to delegate approved tasks while maintaining control over funds, spending limits, permissions, and activity.
From application discovery to funded activity
Arc Portal is designed first for users, but a clearer user journey can also benefit builders across the Arc ecosystem. Portal gives ecosystem apps a stronger distribution surface by placing them closer to users who are already exploring Arc and ready to act.
For builders, that creates a clearer path from awareness to funded activity. For users, it makes it easier to understand what Arc offers and move directly into the experiences most relevant to them.

Arc Portal is a software interface provided by Circle Technology Services, LLC (“CTS”) that enables users to access supported onchain actions and certain Circle and third-party products and services. CTS does not hold your private keys or control your wallet, and Arc Portal does not provide banking, payment, money transmission, exchange, investment management, legal, tax, or financial or other advisory services; nothing displayed constitutes an offer, recommendation, solicitation, or advice. Arc Portal has not been reviewed or approved by the New York State Department of Financial Services or any other regulatory authority.
Access to third-party products and services is provided for convenience only and subject to third-party terms and risks. Some are integrated directly into Arc Portal; others may redirect you to the applicable third-party site. CTS has not vetted, endorsed, approved, or verified, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, any third-party application, website, content, product, service, security, legality, availability, or functionality, and you are solely responsible for evaluating and using them.
Arc Portal includes features that enable agentic workflows. Agent-initiated transactions may occur without real-time human review. AI features and agent activity on Arc may produce errors or unexpected behavior. You are solely responsible for configuring permissions carefully and monitoring and reviewing your AI-generated actions.
Use of onchain services available through the Arc Portal involves significant risks, including digital asset volatility; smart contract vulnerabilities; protocol, liquidity, and oracle risk, network disruptions, slippage, failed or irreversible transactions, and delayed or unavailable withdrawals. Legal, regulatory, sanctions, or compliance restrictions may limit or prevent the use, transfer, or availability of certain assets, wallets, addresses, applications, services, or network functionality, and may evolve over time. The ability to transact on Arc depends on the ability to obtain and use USDC to pay gas fees. Fiat onramp transactions are processed by third-party providers; offramp is not yet available. Earn features involve third-party lending protocols and are not guaranteed — you could lose some or all of your assets. Any displayed amount, rate, quote, fee, or timeline is an estimate only, may change, and may not reflect actual returns or accurate fiat-denominated value. Swap quotes and expected output amounts may change before execution, and you may receive less than expected or the transaction may fail based on market movement, liquidity, network conditions, slippage settings, or other factors. References to "free," "covered," or similar terms apply only to the specified fee shown and are subject to limits and conditions; other fees and costs may apply. Onchain transactions may have tax consequences. Availability and features vary by jurisdiction and may change at any time. Arc Portal Terms apply.
