Arc Chain Wealth Password: Circle's Son, Next Robinhood? How to translate When Robinhood Chain went live and shouted "compliant stocks" and "on chain finance L2", who would have thought that it would ignite a renaissance of on chain memes? Can you ambush Arc Chain, a chain that also relies on cryptocurrency giant Circle and shouts "stablecoin finance" in advance? In fact, according to official statements, Arc opened its public mainnet on September 16th, but now the launch pad and Meme have already been hyped up 1、 What's the origin of Arc Arc is an EVM compatible Layer 1 developed by Circle, the issuer of USDC, with a straightforward positioning: specializing in stablecoin finance. Circle's slogan is "the economic operating system of the Internet". ⬇️ The editor has summarized the following four prominent characteristics for everyone: Gas: Gas is paid in USDC, with fees denominated in US dollars. There is no need to stockpile a high volatility chain token before issuing, buying, or selling coins Speed: Final confirmation within about one second, consensus engine Malachite Compatibility: EVM compatible, Solidity、 Tools such as wallets and Uniswap can be used directly Verification mechanism: License based verifier, not everyone can be a block node What does the emergence of Arc mean? Circle used to only issue dollars on other people's chains, but now they want to have their own settlement layer where dollars run on top. For institutions, this means predictable fees, instant settlements, and compliance entry points. So, Arc's financing is also quite luxurious. In May 2026, it will be fully diluted at a valuation of about 3 billion US dollars for pre-sale of 222 million US dollars, led by a16z, with participation from BlackRock, Apollo, ICE, and others. For retail investors, Arc itself is a new chain that has been oversold by Wall Street, and the pioneering Meme is also highly attractive, after all, Robinhood is at the forefront 2、 Where will Arc's hot money flow to Opportunities can generally be divided into three levels. Clearing layer: Memes and launch pads that can be traded now The path of the first few weeks of the new chain is basically fixed: stablecoins entering the market → launch platform new coins → a few narrative leaders → platform coins. Unlike other chains, the special feature of Arc is that it creates, buys, and sells directly in USDC, with lower friction compared to "buying native tokens first and then fighting dogs". However, once the public mainnet and official cross chain are opened, this batch of "old coins" may be mistaken for dragons or exchanged for new funds. ️ Application layer: DeFi and trading terminals At present, Fomo and edgeX have publicly promised to be connected on the first day. The expected list also includes Uniswap, Aerodrome, Aave, Morpho, as well as market makers such as FalconX, GSR, Keyrock, etc. Medium to long term layer: tokenized assets and ARC itself. BUIDL and DTC tokenization will not be fully implemented until 2027. ARC tokens have a lock up period and are not the main course of hot money on the blockchain right now. For students who are optimistic about Payfi, they can start studying it carefully. 3、 Arc's Ambush Opportunity: Head Launch Pad&Memes Launch pad: 1. TOLLY (approximately 2.47 million US dollars, 0xbc43ce8dec648ea298c4275559b81d6261c90b67) Introduction: Tolly Launch Pad+DEX Platform Coin. The new project does not follow the joint curve, and all supplies are directly entered into the permanently locked USDC pool. 1% transaction fee: Approximately 64% of the USDC fee generated from the purchase will be given to the creator, 12% to the holder as a reward, and 10% to the agreement. The remaining amount will be repurchased and TOLLY and corresponding project coins will be destroyed; All project currency fees generated from selling will be destroyed. Logic: Bet on it becoming the PONS of the Arc chain, and once it gets up, it will consume the entire chain's coin traffic. 2. WARP (approximately $870000, 0x384c60f98ecd4c26345499345c03d677e40f115e) Introduction: Warp launch pad/trading terminal related tokens. Following the joint curve, the market value will reach approximately $69000 before migrating to WarpTex and destroying LP. The plan is to use Circle CCTP to destroy USDC from Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrarum, and automatically purchase after Arc casting. Logic: Bet on it becoming the cross chain launch portal for Arc, allowing users to intuitively "cross chain free" and directly suck USDC from other chains into the same curve pool of Arc. Meme： http://1.COOL (Approximately 2.94 million US dollars, 0xeb64987643db71c76b2a2be7e723decc995e5b37) The community created a meme based on the website mascot tracking USDC activities, featuring a blue stablecoin image wearing sunglasses. 2. Architects (approximately $820000, 0x8bcb94279fc2c984ec34e0c1f2192df69ea4f0) Circle/Arc has repeatedly referred to community contributors as Architects, and CEO Jeremy Allaire has also used this term. 3. ARCAT (approximately $710000, 0x07704b06981ea962b87296362a1281484d160000) One of the earlier Arc cat disks originated from the "Cat Bat Hat Fat Rat" video shared by USDC. 4. BEANCAT (approximately $275000, 0x41c8A71f630c636294009fa4FB0CC4c3bBE674fe) Corresponding to the early historical avatar of @ arc account (around the 2012 "Dou" cat avatar), the community benchmarks CashCat on other chains. 4、 Before playing Arc Meme, you need to prepare Arc USDC first! At this point, some students with strong hands-on abilities may ask, why can't I buy these coins with USDC?! Don't worry, because what you need is Arc USDC. According to community research, the most direct method currently available is through the OTC market Unstable: https://(unstabletrd. com). You can use Eth's main website's USDC to purchase from sellers who already hold some Arc USDC, and the price will be placed by the seller themselves. However, due to the supply shortage, Arc USDC usually has a high premium now. Arc USDC: USDC is basically at 1.8:1. In addition, Unstable also charges a 3% handling fee, so the cost of entering Arc is still relatively high. If the wallet does not automatically recognize Arc after receiving Arc USDC, it is possible to manually add the network. Name: ARC Mainnet RPC URL： https://rpc.arc-scan.org Chain ID：5042 Symbol: USDC If RPC is slow, you can also try a backup: http://(niorfun. com)/app/RPC Conclusion: Before leaving the scene, please confirm these few things clearly What can be traded now are all private Arc mainnet assets without any official endorsement. Public mainnet RPC, browser, and official cross chain parameters are based on Circle's publication, and community node lag and transaction failures are common. In the early days, the market value of top tier stocks was over a million, while the pool may only have tens of thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, making it easy to break through both in and out. So, paying attention to contracts, liquidity, launch pad quality, and entry points are the top four things to ensure your survival during the Arc wilderness period.
