The first stablecoin company, Circle, has officially launched its new public chain ARC points system. The interaction guide is here.

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

The biggest highlights are strong background support + zero cost investment, so it’s still worth interacting with.

Arc is an internal project of Circle. Although there hasn’t been publicly disclosed fundraising, Circle Ventures launched the Arc Builders Fund (amount undisclosed), attracting investment ecosystem projects with 30+ top VC networks.

ARC is driven by Circle’s core engineering team. Circle’s strength needs no further introduction. As the largest publicly listed US stock exchange stablecoin project globally, USDC issuance has already exceeded $50 billion.

Arc is positioned as an open Layer1 blockchain designed specifically for stablecoin finance, using USDC as native gas to deliver sub-second performance, a built-in FX engine, and optional privacy services, supporting enterprise-grade financial applications.

Arc House points program: you can earn corresponding points and badges through various contributions in the community. These contribution proofs are likely to be the main basis for future airdrops.

Contribution categories: there are five types—activity contributions, content contributions, forum contributions, community events, and other contributions. In addition to points rewards, different contributions also include extra badge rewards.

I’ve organized the current easiest ways to get points. Everyone can refer to it. The interaction steps are as follows:

Step 1: 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 login link in your inbox to enter
• Logging in every day earns you 5 points

Step 2: Click your avatar 「Edit Profile」 at the top right to go to the personal info page, complete your profile + 100 points.

Step 3: Every day, click 「Content」 on the left to read an article +5 points per article (up to 5 articles per day).

Step 4: Every day, click 「Content」 on the left to watch a Vedio +5 points (once per day).

Step 5: Click the 「Events」 page on the left and register all the activities you can sign up for.

Note: Registering an activity each time earns you 5 points

These are the contribution types that are currently suitable for everyone to interact with. Other ways to earn points are more troublesome and have threshold requirements. It’s recommended to interact every day, and later they will also update new ways to earn contribution points as the project progresses.

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

Blind guess: Architect levels are related to future airdrops or subscription/new-issue allocation limits. Upgrading is the main focus of interaction.

ARC’s target users built by Circle are enterprise developers, financial applications (such as payments, lending, RWA, and agent economy), and institutions (such as banks and Fintech). Their pain points include: traditional chain gas volatility is large, 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 is still growing. Enterprise-level applications (such as 24/7 settlement and RWA tokenization) are exploding, but existing L1/L2 gas is unstable and latency is high, making it difficult to support high-frequency finance. Arc is born in response. Compared with other L1s, Arc is not easily replaceable. Because the foundation is formed into a Moat through Circle’s exclusive integration + enterprise-level design (quantum resistance roadmap). The testnet has already attracted 155+ teams, so those who are optimistic about ARC can start interacting.
