Circle proposes a refund on-chain through Arc Blockchain to attract institutional users.

Circle, the issuer of USDC, is about to launch the online refund system "Refund Protocol" on the Arc blockchain for organizations. This feature is aimed at banks and finance teams, helping to process disputed transactions more effectively. With this protocol, disputed payments can be held in escrow and resolved by authorized arbitrators.

This allows for refunds or online chargebacks in cases of fraud or disputes, creating a clear and secure process for financial institutions. Circle emphasizes that the protocol is designed to maintain instant payments while meeting legal compliance requirements. The integration of escrow management and direct arbitration on the blockchain enhances transparency, stability, and reliability in the operation of stablecoins.
