Arc has gone live on the mainnet.
Over these past couple of days, every platform has been competing aggressively for the top spot.
How do you judge? Just look at who can get their market cap up first. In these early battles for a new chain, it’s basically the market cap that speaks—whoever first establishes themselves is Dragon One.
Arc itself is an interesting chain.
The USDC company behind it built it; the gas fees are paid directly in USDC—no need to buy any other coin.
The investors behind it include a16z, BlackRock, and folks from the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.
With that kind of backing, the chain should at least get a good wave of attention on-chain.
The rest comes down to sustainability.
Every new chain’s launch is lively at the start—the key is whether anyone stays after the hype.
I’ve been watching these past few days, and the moment something worthwhile shows up, I post it right away.
