Uniting the world’s financial markets, real-time settlement, and agentic economic activity
Arc Network is an open, Layer-1 blockchain designed for the internet economy. It natively integrates with Circle’s full financial stack, and is designed to unlock new economic opportunity for startups, enterprises, and agent-led programmable workflows.
Build internet-native financial applications on an enterprise-grade foundation
Institutions and startups are ready to build with stablecoins, but fragmented chains, volatile fees, limited privacy, and brittle integrations keep products stuck in pilots. Arc enables production-ready economic activity.
Arc is an open, composable, and EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain open to all developers and enterprises who want to build, transact, and launch the next generation of financial applications.
As AI agents become economic actors, they need infrastructure that keeps up. Arc's predictable fees, deterministic finality, and native stablecoin support make it the natural home for agent-led workflows — from autonomous payments to programmable financial logic that executes in real time.
Arc supports asset issuance and liquidity at scale. Native integrations with CPN, StableFX, CCTP, and Gateway let builders issue tokenized assets and stablecoins, tap into a global liquidity hub, and move capital across chains — all programmatically accessible.
Purpose-built for real-world financial activity
Arc is engineered to support enterprise-grade value movement with predictable fees, deterministic settlement, compliance-ready privacy, and direct access to global liquidity infrastructure.
Predictable transaction costs
Fees are low and denominated in stablecoins, starting with USDC, so you’re not exposed to surprise cost spikes. Whether you’re sending $5 or $500M, fees stay predictable and easy to budget for.
Settlement that’s final
Arc transactions reach deterministic finality in under a second, eliminating challenge risk, reducing counterparty exposure, and supporting real-time workflows.
Privacy when you need it
Future opt-in privacy controls will let businesses selectively shield sensitive transaction details while preserving auditability, designed to help meet regulatory and reporting obligations.
Validated by institutions the world already trusts
Arc is anchored by a founding validator cohort of globally recognized institutions — BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Mastercard, Moneygram, ICE, SBI, Standard Chartered, Visa, and WorldPay — bringing institutional-grade credibility, security, and trust to the network.
