Circle Workshop
summary
Circle announces ARC, an open L1 public testnet launched Oct 27 with deployed USDC and EURC so builders get compliant dollars and euros on-chain; ARC is EVM-compatible so existing Solidity contracts run unchanged; USDC is the native gas token (18-decimal native gas plus a 6-decimal ERC‑20 ABI), deterministic finality hits ~700 ms one-confirmation, CCTP moves liquidity by burning/minting with no slippage, and Gateway unifies balances across 11 chains and claims source deposit → destination in under 800 ms (demo attempt stalls from poor internet).
