Arc is the L1 launched by Circle, the same company behind USDC. Gas fees are paid in USDC, so no need to buy separate fuel tokens. Arc mainnet goes live on 9/16, with Binance Wallet as the first platform to onboard users @BinanceWallet. The founding validators include TradFi giants like BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC, and ICE. The testnet has already processed over 500 million transactions and nearly 3 million wallets. On the ecosystem side, a bunch of meme launchpads are already lined up. Circle's assets like cirBTC and EURC will roll out alongside, with CCTP v3, Arc Studio, and Agent Stack launching in sync. With a new chain just starting, the most valuable thing is the entry point. Binance Wallet is the first to support Arc, giving you instant access to memes, new assets, new DeFi, and new incentives. If you want to get into Arc and grab on-chain assets right away, this is the one and only gateway. Get your wallet and funds ready first, then wait for the doors to open and see if there are any surprises!
