The first stablecoin company, Circle, launches its new public chain ARC points system, now officially online. Interaction guide is here.

USDC issuer @circle incubated @arc has just launched its points program.

The biggest highlight is a strong background + zero-cost investment, so it’s still worth interacting with.

Arc is Circle’s internal project. Although it has not disclosed any publicly raised funding, Circle Ventures launched the Arc Builders Fund (amount undisclosed), attracting investment-ecosystem projects from 30+ top-tier VC networks.

ARC is driven by Circle’s core engineering team. Circle’s strength needs no further introduction—as the world’s largest publicly listed stablecoin project in the US stock market, USDC issuance has exceeded $50 billion.

Arc is positioned as an open Layer1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin finance. It uses USDC as the native Gas, offering sub-second performance, a built-in FX engine, and optional privacy services, supporting enterprise-level financial applications.

Arc House points program: Earn corresponding points and badges by making various contributions in the community. These contribution credentials are very likely to be the primary basis for future airdrops.

Contribution categories: There are five categories in total—activity contributions, content contributions, forum contributions, community events, and other contributions. Different contributions come not only with points rewards, but also with additional badge rewards.

I’ve organized the currently easiest ways to earn points. You can refer to the steps below for the interaction:

First step: Register an Arc account with your email and log in +5 points.

community.arc.network/home

Note:

• During registration, a login link will be sent to your email. You need to click the link in your email to enter

• Logging in every day grants 5 points each day

Second step: Click the avatar in the top-right corner, “Edit Profile,” to go to the personal information page to complete your profile +100 points.

Third step: Every day, click “Content” on the left to read articles, +5 points per article (up to 5 articles per day).

Fourth step: Every day, click “Content” on the left to watch one Vedio +5 points (limited to once per day).

Fifth step: Click the “Events” page on the left, and register all activities that can be registered.

Note: Each time you register an activity, you can earn 5 points.

The above are the contribution types that are currently suitable for everyone to interact with. Other ways to earn points are more troublesome and come with thresholds. It’s recommended to interact every day, and later on, new ways to earn contribution points will also be updated as the project progresses.

In addition, once you reach 500 points, you can unlock the “Architect Role level 1.” There are 5 levels in total. Only when your points reach the required amount can you apply. The requirements and benefits for each level are as follows:

Purely a guess: the Architect level may be related to future airdrops or participation/allocation for new issues. Upgrading is the focus of the interaction.

ARC’s target users built by Circle are enterprise developers, financial application builders (such as payments, lending, RWA, and proxy economy), and institutions (such as banks and fintech). Its pain points include: traditional chain Gas volatility is high, settlement uncertainty is high, privacy is insufficient, cross-chain is complex, and compliance is unclear, etc. Now, the stablecoin market size exceeds $200 billion and continues to grow. Enterprise applications (such as 24/7 settlement and RWA tokenization) are booming. However, existing L1/L2 Gas is unstable and has high latency, making it difficult to support high-frequency finance. Arc has emerged as a result. Compared with other L1s, Arc is not easily replaceable—because the underlying layer is formed into a moat through Circle’s exclusive integration + enterprise-level design (quantum resistance roadmap). The testnet has attracted 155+ teams, so if you’re bullish on ARC, you can start interacting.
