⚡ The ARC mainnet will be officially launched today, and top exchanges are all cheering for the ARC mainnet! What are the types of ARC mainnet and public chain? Its goal is to become the settlement bottom layer of the stablecoin era, and at the same time, the new mainnet and new public chain often experience a wave of "charging dogs" market trends. The initial support for Binance Wallet provides a compliant and convenient entry point, but its true value lies in payments and RWA settlements. Meme hype is a side effect and worth looking forward to. So, what exactly is the ARC mainnet? ARC is a Layer 1 public chain developed by Circle, the issuer of USDC. It does not seek to "encrypt the original narrative", but wants to become "the economic operating system of the Internet", which specializes in stable currency payment, foreign exchange settlement and real asset (RWA) uplink. The fundamental difference is that ARC uses USDC as the gas fee. You trade on it, and the transaction fee is denominated in USDC, not ETH or native tokens. For institutions, costs are predictable and there is no need to hold additional volatile assets. Why is the institutional lineup so luxurious? You'll understand by looking at its list of creation validators: BlackRock Visa、Mastercard、 ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, DTCC, Standard Chartered Bank... do not have any cryptocurrency native projects. This indicates that ARC has been targeting traditional financial infrastructure from the beginning. The participation of DTCC and ICE means that it is targeting securities clearing and settlement, which is the most logical next step after stablecoin compliance. What does the initial support for Binance Wallet mean? Binance Wallet synchronized support on the first day of ARC launch and launched ARCHub as its exclusive entrance. For ordinary users, the greatest value is lowering the threshold: they don't have to tinker with RPC configuration or cross chain bridges themselves, and can directly enter the ARC ecosystem in Binance Wallet. However, this also means that ARC's ecosystem is unlikely to be as "retail friendly" as Base or Solana. Its Day-1 ecosystem consists of DeFi blue chips such as Aave, Uniswap, and Curve, along with payment and RWA projects, and is not a factory for Meme coins. The situation of ARC tokens is as follows: ARC tokens currently do not have TGE. The initial total supply is 10 billion pieces, with 60% allocated to the ecosystem (including potential airdrops) and Circle keeping 25% for itself. Completed a $222 million private placement in May, valued at $3 billion, a16z、 BlackRock and Apollo participated in the investment. The CEO of Circle has publicly stated that they are actively exploring native tokens, but there is no officially confirmed airdrop plan. The test network data (500 million transactions, 3 million wallets) is seen by many as a potential airdrop qualification. Arc's' first wave of opportunity 'is likely to be Meme or Tugou. Although its positioning and validator lineup determine that early opportunities are more likely to be in DeFi protocol interactions, stablecoin payment testing, and RWA related scenarios. If you want to participate in the Arc ecosystem, it may be more meaningful to learn about the deployment of Aave and Uniswap on Arc in advance than waiting for Meme. One sentence: Arc is a chain for "money", not for "gambling". Prepare the entrance first, but don't expect it to be the next Solana. Brothers and sisters, are you ready to use the local dog meme coins of ARC public chain?
