Arc Brings Seamless USDC Payments Across Three Chains

Arc has launched Agentic Payments with USDC across three chains, removing gas wallet hassles for developers. The new system allows Circle agents and developers to receive USDC payments via the x402 protocol.

The launch is designed to make machine-to-machine transactions easier, enabling agents, APIs, and digital services to deal more smoothly. Agentic payments are now live on Arc, marking a new step toward automated crypto payments between AI agents, applications, and services.

Circle's Facilitator Service provides onchain settlement on Arc, Base, and Polygon with no relayer keys or separate gas wallets. This removes several technical hurdles that have traditionally complicated blockchain payments, making it easier for developers to monetize APIs, data services, and AI-powered applications.
