What is use-arc?

Provide instructions on how to build with Arc, Circle's blockchain where USDC is the native gas token. Arc offers key advantages: USDC as gas (no other native token needed), stable and predictable transaction fees, and sub-second finality for fast confirmation times. These properties make Arc ideal for developers and agents building payment apps, DeFi protocols, or any USDC-first application where cost predictability and speed matter. Use skill when Arc or Arc Testnet is mentioned, working with any smart contracts related to Arc, configuring Arc in blockchain projects, bridging USDC to Arc via CCTP, or building USDC-first applications. Triggers: Arc, Arc Testnet, USDC gas, deploy to Arc, Arc chain, stable fees, fast finality.

Overview

Arc is Circle's blockchain where USDC is the native gas token. Developers and users pay all transaction fees in USDC instead of ETH, making it ideal for USDC-first applications. Arc is EVM-compatible and supports standard Solidity tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, viem/wagmi).

Prerequisites / Setup

Wallet Funding

Get testnet USDC from https://faucet.circle.com before sending any transactions.
