Techub News reports, citing Decrypt, that Circle has announced the launch of Arc, a Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin applications. The platform uses USDC as its native gas token and supports deterministic finality and optional privacy features, with a mainnet beta version expected to be launched in 2026. Arc is intended to address the limitations of existing blockchains in supporting stablecoins, including fee volatility and settlement uncertainty. The platform adopts a fee model similar to Ethereum’s EIP-1559, using a weighted moving average mechanism to keep fees stable, and includes built-in cross-chain interoperability functionality.
