Build On Arc With The Circle Platform
summary
Arc is a fully EVM‑compatible layer‑1 that uses native USDC as gas (18 decimals with a 6‑decimal ERC‑20 interface) and a Rust BFT consensus called Malikite that yields deterministic finality under a second. Cross‑chain primitives include CCTP burn‑and‑mint across 20 chains (use Bridgekit, a TypeScript SDK) and Gateway unified balance (12 mainnets, 9 testnets, Solana supported) that deposits via approve+deposit and mints near‑instantly while deposits to slow chains can take minutes. Wallets SDK supports developer/user/modular models, wallet sets (1,000 sets per account, 10M wallets per set), contract execution, and bridging examples.
