💲 Circle brings Arc to public mainnet

On September 16, the main Arc network went live — Circle’s own Layer 1 built for stablecoins, payments, and tokenized assets.

The network launched right away with a strong institutional lineup: among the 11 founding validator nodes are BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, ICE, Standard Chartered, Galaxy, and SBI Group.

📌From day one, Arc has supported Aave, Morpho, and Uniswap, and network fees are paid in USDC.

In essence, Circle is taking its own blockchain infrastructure to the institutional financial market — and with leading players from TradFi right away.
