Arc by Circle: what the network is and how to start
Arc is a layer-1 blockchain from Circle, the issuer of USDC. Gas is paid in USDC, transactions become final in under a second, and the network is EVM-compatible. Circle names stablecoin payments, foreign exchange, lending and tokenized assets as what the network is for.

How much USDC can I send while leaving enough for Arc gas?
An ordinary Arc transaction pays gas from the same USDC balance used for the transfer. Set aside the wallet’s fee estimate before choosing the amount to send. ETH is not needed for that Arc transaction.
Illustrative transfer budget
With an assumed balance of 100 USDC and an assumed fee of 0.01 USDC, the transfer budget is 99.99 USDC. The fee here is chosen for arithmetic; the wallet calculates the fee for the actual transaction.
100 USDC − 0.01 USDC = 99.99 USDC
The dollar is part of the network.
In Arc, payments and fees use the same asset.

What the Arc network is
Public mainnet opened on 16 September 2026. The chain produced its first block on 15 May 2026; until the opening it ran as a private mainnet with more than 100 institutional and ecosystem builders.

Who it is addressed to
Circle describes Arc as a platform for developers, businesses and institutions: stablecoin issuance, global FX, institutional-grade onchain markets and tokenized real-world assets.
| Parameter | Value |

| Stated audience | "a developer", "a business", "an institution" Source → |
Fees
Gas on Arc is paid in USDC, so no separate token is needed for fees. Wallets without support for a custom gas token may show the balance as “ETH”, but it is the same USDC.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Fee model per documentation | EIP-1559 with EWMA smoothing; minimum base fee 20 Gwei, maximum 20 000 Gwei; the base fee is not burned Source → |
| Fee target | About $0.001 per ERC-20 transfer — the design target in Circle’s documentation Source → |
| Measured on 17.09.2026 | An ERC-20 token transfer cost 0.0009–0.0012 USDC by transaction receipts; a plain transfer at the 20 Gwei base fee works out to 0.00042 USDC Source → |
Verified on 17.09.2026
Are native USDC and ERC-20 USDC two balances on Arc?
They are two interfaces to the same USDC balance. A transfer through either interface changes that balance. Arc gives USDC an ERC-20 interface directly, so applications do not need to wrap it first.

Token
The ARC token
ARC is the Arc network token that Circle describes as a coordination asset: staking and delegation once the network moves to proof-of-stake, governance and fee mechanics. Network gas stays in USDC.
The token has been minted and partly sold to institutional investors, but it has not been launched publicly.

You bought a meme. Where did your fee go?
On Arc, a Tolly buy fee takes five different paths. Selling changes both the distribution and the currency of the fee.
12% of the fee goes to the project token holders’ shared rewards pool.

Venue tokens, and what is under each one
Launchpad tokens use different fee models: creator payments, holder rewards, buybacks and burns.
TOLLY
A launchpad and a DEX. Every trade pays a 1 % pool fee, and on a buy it splits: 64 % to the token’s creator, 12 % into holder rewards, 10 % to the protocol, 9 % to buying TOLLY and taking it out of circulation, 5 % to removing the project’s own token from circulation. On a sell the fee arrives in the project token and is removed from circulation in full.

ARGUS
The Argus launchpad’s token charges a 1 % tax on buys and sells, routing the proceeds to a burn address.

Deposits and withdrawals on MEXC on the Arc network
WARP
The Warp launchpad’s token: a USDC curve, a move to its own DEX around a market-cap threshold, a 1 % fee. The token itself has no tax.
Contract: 0x384c60f98ecd4c26345499345c03d677e40f115e
SHARCFUN
A meme-coin launchpad. A creator can pick a 1 % fee mode where half goes to holders of their token in USDC, half to the creator and nothing to the platform; the second mode splits 70/30 in the creator’s favour.
ARCASH
The project’s configuration sets a 3 % buy and sell fee, a 5 % fee ceiling and a two-hour interval for USDC holder rewards. Half the fees go into a rewards bucket; each cycle distributes 6 % of that bucket. Shares use a holding-duration bonus of up to double, with an entry threshold of 0.01 % of supply. A keeper initiates the payout.
LONG
The venue launches tokens paired with stock tokens — NVDA, CRCL, TSLA, AAPL; 706 launches as of the check date. The "stocks" are minted by the project’s own team against shares brought over from Robinhood Chain, and the bridge is custodial: minting, redemptions and vault custody are, in its own words, controlled by team-operated wallets. The project states plainly that it is not affiliated with Robinhood, Arc or Circle.

How mint access works: GTD, FCFS and the public phase
A mint usually runs in phases. GTD (guaranteed) is a reserved spot: a listed wallet can mint in its window until its limit is used. FCFS (first come, first served) is a spot without a guarantee: the window opens for the list, but there are not enough tokens for everyone, so they go to whoever is first. The public phase is open to everyone, though often little or nothing is left for it.
Spots are handed out under each project’s own rules — most often through tasks on X: following, reposting, tagging friends, activity on Discord, giveaways with partners. The terms differ per collection and change along the way, so go by the project’s pinned post rather than retellings.
Gas on Arc is paid in USDC, so minting needs USDC on the Arc network itself — how to bring it in is under “How to start”.
Check the address before you mint
Open an allowlist checker or a mint page only from the link in the project’s X profile. Fake checkers and mint pages are the most common way to drain a wallet: checking an allowlist never requires signing a transaction, and no one legitimate asks for a seed phrase.
Twinned names on Arc are no longer hypothetical. The chain holds two different contracts named ARC BROKERS with different supplies, neither matching what the lists claim. Alongside the real Arc Kitties sits an almost identically named contract with four times the supply. And on the morning of 16 September the chain held a contract with an entirely different name and exactly as many tokens as Arclings — 6 283; the original is called ARCLINGS, and its address is on its card above.

Questions
Common questions about Arc
1Do I need the ARC token to pay fees on Arc?+
No. Gas on Arc is paid in USDC. Minting 10 billion ARC in September 2026 did not change that: Circle states network fees remain payable in USDC.
2Can I buy the ARC token?+
Not publicly. In May and June 2026 Circle sold 807.5 million ARC to institutional investors, and in the mainnet launch week in September it minted all 10 billion tokens, but it has not announced a public launch. The ARC ticker on exchanges belongs to a different project, AI Rig Complex.
3Which exchanges let me withdraw USDC to the Arc network?+
As of 27.10.2026 06:07, among the exchanges whose fees Yieldo collects, USDC withdrawals to the Arc network are open on Bybit, Upbit, Binance, Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, Kraken, KuCoin, BingX. Fees and minimums are in the table under “How to start”.
4Does Arc have a block explorer?+
Yes, explorer.arc.io — Circle’s documentation points to it. Domains such as arc-scan and arcscan are not Circle’s.
5How much does a transfer on Arc cost?+
Circle’s documentation targets about $0.001 per token transfer. On 17 September 2026 a token transfer cost 0.0009–0.0012 USDC by transaction receipts; a plain transfer at the 20 Gwei base fee works out to about 0.0004 USDC.
6How do I add the Arc network to a wallet?+
Manually: network name Arc, chain ID 5042, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.arc.io, currency symbol USDC, explorer https://explorer.arc.io. docs.arc.io has instructions for MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet and Rainbow.
7Who confirms blocks on Arc?+
A permissioned validator set of regulated institutions (proof-of-authority). The founding cohort, alongside Circle, is BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo, Visa and Worldpay, rolled out in phases. Circle is exploring a move to proof-of-stake in 2027.

Buys a token from a pasted contract address. Beyond a manual trade it carries limit orders, auto-snipe, copytrade, signals and a bridge.
The fee is 1% on every buy and sell; transfers are not taxed. On Solana it is taken inside the same transaction, on other chains it accrues per Telegram account and is charged once unpaid fees pass the chain minimum. Keys: the documentation cites AES encryption, the Terms of Service say the provider retains the private keys.
