Arc Network Launches Mainnet with Keynotes and Product Demos

Arc Network is a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain that's advancing the frontier of stablecoin finance and tokenization. It features USDC as native gas, deterministic settlement finality, opt-in privacy, and a stable transaction fee architecture.

The mainnet launched on September 16 alongside keynotes and product demonstrations. Circle completed a private ARC token presale, raising $222 million at a $3 billion fully diluted network valuation.

To participate in the Arc ecosystem, users can follow these steps: add the Arc Testnet to their wallet, claim testnet USDC from the Circle Faucet, make regular on-chain transactions, and join Arc House. The Circle Faucet dispenses 1 USDC per day, plus EURC and cirBTC for swaps.

The Arc Network's mainnet launch marked a significant milestone in its development. However, there is no confirmed eligibility list or token distribution date yet. Circle has published ecosystem tokenomics for ARC in its whitepaper but hasn't announced a launch date or claim process.
