@arc-hitects: Arc Mainnet Updates
A new week on Arc, and more infrastructure is already going live.
Here’s a quick roundup of the latest updates 👇
→ Sponsored Transactions with USDC as Gas:
Arc is making sponsored transactions simpler. Applications can cover gas for their users using USDC, removing the need for users to hold a separate native gas asset.
→ Agentic Economy in Action:
Arc demonstrated a machine-to-machine payment flow where a drone finds a charger, verifies its identity, receives a price quote, authorizes payment in USDC and settles on Arc.
No human checkout. Machines can transact directly with machines.
→ Digital Asset-Backed Borrowing is Live:
Eligible Circle Mint LLC customers can deposit BTC, mint cirBTC and borrow USDC through supported third-party lending markets on Arc.
Deposit BTC → Mint cirBTC → Borrow USDC.
→ Bitcoin Liquidity is Live on Arc
cirBTC brings 1:1 BTC-backed collateral into Arc’s stablecoin-native ecosystem, allowing BTC liquidity to be used across lending, trading, collateral, settlement and treasury workflows.
BTC as collateral. USDC as the borrow and settlement asset.
📌 Round-Up Note:
Arc Mainnet is moving beyond launch into real use cases. From BTC-backed borrowing and Bitcoin liquidity to sponsored USDC transactions and autonomous machine payments, we’re already seeing what can be built on Arc.
New week, more building. Architects, stay active, explore and keep learning what’s going live on Arc.
