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 its points program.

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

Arc is an internal project of Circle. Although there hasn’t been disclosed external fundraising, Circle Ventures has launched the Arc Builders Fund (undisclosed amount), attracting ecosystem projects backed by 30+ top 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 US stock exchange stablecoin project, 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, delivering sub-second performance, a built-in FX engine, and optional privacy services—supporting enterprise-grade financial applications.

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

Contribution categories: a total of five types—event contributions, content contributions, forum contributions, community events, and other contributions. Different contribution types come with points rewards as well as additional badge rewards.

I’ve整理ed the currently easy-to-get points methods for everyone to参考. 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 email to enter

• Logging in every day grants 5 points

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

Step 3: Every day, click 「Content」 on the left to read articles, +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 limit).

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

Note: Registering an event each time grants 5 points

That’s everything—these are the contribution types that are currently suitable for everyone to engage with. Other ways of earning points are more troublesome and have entry requirements. It’s recommended that you engage every day. Going forward, it will also update new ways to earn contribution points as the project progresses dynamically.

In addition, after reaching 500 points, you can unlock 「Architect Role Level 1」. There are 5 levels in total. You can only apply if you’ve met the points requirement. The different levels’ requirements and benefits are as follows:

My blind guess is that the Architect levels are related to future airdrops or pre-sale/lottery allocation amounts. Upgrading is the main focus of engagement.

The target users for ARC built by Circle are enterprise developers, financial applications (such as payments, lending, RWA, and agent economy), and institutions (such as banks, Fintech). 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 is over $200 billion and still growing. Enterprise applications (such as 24/7 settlement, RWA tokenization) are booming, but existing L1/L2 Gas is unstable and latency is high, making it hard to support high-frequency finance—Arc has emerged as the answer. Compared with other L1s, Arc is not easily replaceable. Because the underlying moat is formed by Circle’s exclusive integrations + enterprise-grade design (quantum resistance roadmap). The testnet has attracted 155+ teams, so if you’re bullish on ARC, you can start engaging now.
