Arc is a Layer 1 network designed for stablecoin payments and financial applications. Its mainnet launched in September 2026. Arc uses USDC for network gas; an Ethereum-compatible address alone does not mean that its balances are on Arc.
Match the listed tool to its function
A wallet can manage supported Arc accounts, while a tracker or tax integration can read activity without signing transactions. A bridge route is a separate capability: verify its source network, destination network and received token. A generic network badge does not establish every one of these functions.
Before sending, select Arc in the application, check the receiving network and the USDC fee shown for the action. Read the provider’s current network documentation; a supported chain does not imply support for every token or product.
