Circle 正式启动 Arc 主网,联合百余家合作伙伴铸造 100 亿 ARC 代币
周三,Circle 正式激活了其全新 Layer 1 区块链 Arc 的公共主网,并在美国完成了全部 100 亿枚 ARC 代币的首发铸造。该公司在启动之初便已部署了超过 100 个应用程序,并成功吸引了逾 100 家机构及生态合作伙伴加入。
由主要金融机构背书的验证者阵容
Arc 的创始验证者集团汇聚了来自传统金融领域的知名机构,包括贝莱德(BlackRock)、DTCC、Visa、万事达卡(Mastercard)、洲际交易所(ICE)、渣打银行、Galaxy、MoneyGram、SBI 集团、住友商事以及现已并入全球支付公司(Global Payments)的 Worldpay。这些企业正参与分阶段 rollout,并将与 Circle 共同保障网络安全。
目前,包括纽约梅隆银行(BNY)、汇丰银行(HSBC)和道富银行(State Street)在内的多家银行已在 Arc 网络上运营或正在探索该平台。去中心化金融项目 Aave 和 Morpho 正在建立 Arc 的信贷市场,而 Uniswap 则为链上交易功能提供支持。
Gas fees on Arc are paid in USDC, a stablecoin with more than $74 billion in circulation. Circle clearly pointed out that the finalization of online settlement can be completed in one second, and the verifier set is still Permitted. In addition, a confidential transaction option with view keys is also under development, aiming to enable future network-wide deployments.
Noun explanation:
- Circle: A US-based financial technology company known as the issuer of the major dollar-linked stablecoin USDC.
- Arc: Circle's proprietary Layer 1 blockchain, designed specifically for high-speed payments and stablecoin integration.
Token minting and network architecture
Circle said that ARC's minting makes it "the first listed company to minting network tokens for the newly issued Layer-1 blockchain." ARC aims to coordinate network security, utility and governance. However, currently network charges are only processed through the USDC. The company further clarified that minting ARC "does not mean a commitment to publicly list ARC tokens."
Circle announced plans to transition its current Proof of Authority network architecture to a Proof of Stake (PoS) model by 2027. This exploration is expected to further decentralize the Arc blockchain in the future.
Development Milestones and Technical Compatibility
Circle initially disclosed Arc's plans in August 2025, opened its public beta network two months later, and announced its token plan at an industry event in Seoul in April 2026. According to the company, Arc TestNet processed more than 700 million transactions in less than a year.
Arc is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing smart contracts written based on Solidity on other platforms to run on Arc without modification.
Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock's global head of digital assets, said in comments posted by Circle: "Dedicated blockchain helps accelerate the adoption of digital asset use cases, and Arc is clearly well positioned to serve stablecoins and payment use cases on a large scale."
