#Gate首日支持ARC公链

Gate has been live on Circle’s Arc since day one, and I have already joined the launch and started trading.
This is one of those moments I do not want to watch from the sidelines. A completely new ecosystem is opening today, and Gate is already connected to it, while the first wave of Arc assets is beginning to attract traders’ attention.
Circle announced today, September 16, the official launch of Arc’s public mainnet, and Gate moved from day one by supporting Arc on Gate Trenches and Gate Wallet, as well as through on-chain market data. This makes the launch even more interesting to me, as I can explore the ecosystem, track what is attracting attention, and actually trade Arc-based assets through Gate instead of waiting for the ecosystem to become crowded.
The main thing that caught my attention was 0-Gas trading for Arc assets on Gate Trenches.
When a new network launches, every point of friction matters. You want to discover a token, check its liquidity, study its holders, monitor transaction activity, and determine whether the opportunity is worth trading. Gate’s integration with Arc combines these discovery and trading functions, while the 0-Gas Trenches experience removes an additional cost from supported trading activities on Arc.
That is exactly why I decided to participate early.
But Arc itself is what makes this launch worth following.
Arc is not being presented as just another network trying to compete for random activity. Circle built it specifically around stablecoin-based finance, with USDC as the native gas asset. This means users do not need to rely on a separate volatile token simply to pay network fees. Arc is designed to support use cases such as stablecoin payments, foreign exchange, tokenized assets, and financial market applications.
The infrastructure is also designed for speed. Arc targets sub-second transaction finality, matching the kind of financial activity Circle aims to bring on-chain. The idea is not merely to move tokens faster, but to create infrastructure capable of supporting payments and financial applications where settlement speed genuinely matters.
Then there is the institutional side, and this may be the part that makes Arc stand out most from my perspective.
Circle announced a founding validator set including BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Global Payments, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo Corporation, and Visa. Circle also said that more than 100 ecosystem builders and institutions participated before the public mainnet launch.
This does not mean every project on Arc will succeed.
Nor does it mean every new token on Arc is automatically a good trade.
It certainly does not mean the ecosystem has already proven itself.
But it does mean the starting point is interesting.
You have a new network focused on stablecoin-based finance, a core USDC infrastructure layer supporting it, institutional names participating in validation, developers building financial applications, and now Gate giving traders direct access to the ecosystem from day one.
This combination is exactly what I want to explore.
My strategy here is not to blindly chase the first green candle.
I start with liquidity.
Then holder distribution.
Then deployer and contract activity.
Then trading volume and transaction behavior.
Most importantly, I want to know whether the project has a genuine reason to exist after the initial excitement surrounding Arc’s launch fades.
Every new ecosystem creates two types of opportunities.
The first is obvious: memecoins and speculation.
The second is what I personally care about more: finding applications capable of building real utility.
Memecoins will likely be among the first areas to attract traders. That is natural. New networks, new liquidity, and new communities usually create a powerful speculative phase. I am already watching this side of the market, as it may reveal the direction of retail traders’ attention.
But I do not want to stop at memecoins.
The area I most want to see develop on Arc is USDC-based decentralized finance.
If lending, swaps, liquidity markets, and other DeFi applications begin attracting meaningful USDC liquidity, that could become one of the most interesting parts of the ecosystem.
The second area on my radar is RWA and tokenized financial products.
Arc is being built with financial markets and tokenized assets in mind, so I want to see whether developers can turn this narrative into real applications and real on-chain activity. This is where the long-term story becomes more interesting to me than simply chasing price movements on launch day.
This is also why I like Gate’s participation from the start.
Gate is not merely announcing support for Arc and leaving users to discover everything on their own. The integration covers asset discovery through Trenches, wallet access through Gate Wallet, on-chain market data, and trading, creating a much easier path from discovering a new project on Arc to researching and actually trading it.
I have already joined the Arc launch and made trades myself.
Now I am watching what happens next.
Which projects will attract real liquidity?
Which communities will continue growing after the first wave of hype fades?
Which DeFi protocols will begin attracting real users?
Which RWA applications will turn the narrative into real activity?
And which tokens will disappear as soon as the launch excitement fades?
This is the real opportunity I am looking for.
Being early does not mean buying everything early.
For me, it means being early enough to have time to watch the ecosystem take shape, understand where liquidity is moving, test the market, and identify projects that are actually building something.
Arc is live.
Gate is already there.
I have already joined, explored, and traded.
Now the real first chapter of the Arc ecosystem begins, and I will be watching closely for projects capable of turning this launch into something much bigger than just another new-network narrative.
New network. New liquidity. New projects. New trading opportunities.
And with Gate’s 0-Gas Arc trading on Trenches, this is certainly an ecosystem I want to explore from the beginning.
