Arc (USDC) on U.CASH

Arc is Circle's Layer 1 blockchain built for stablecoin finance. Fees are paid in USDC instead of a volatile gas token, blocks finalize in under a second with deterministic finality, and Circle-issued assets like USDC, EURC, and USYC move natively on the network. Arc is designed for payments and tokenized money that need final, predictable settlement.

What pays for gas on Arc?
USDC. Arc is USDC-native: network fees are charged in USDC, so any wallet already holding USDC can transact directly, with dollar-predictable costs and no volatile gas token to buy first.
