Arc

Meet Arc

Arc is a platform for building payments and other financial applications around stablecoins. Its foundation is a Layer 1 blockchain that supports Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and uses USDC to pay transaction fees. Developers can use familiar Solidity tools to create services for cross-border payments, asset tokenization, treasury operations, and programmable financial workflows.

The platform also includes App Kits, a collection of SDKs for adding capabilities such as wallet funding, transfers, asset swaps, and crosschain bridging to existing applications. Arc Portal lets users explore the ecosystem and manage wallet activity, while Arc Studio helps turn a written app concept into frontend, backend, and smart contract code. Documentation, quickstart guides, and sample applications provide starting points for teams building or integrating these services.
