There is really nothing special about @arc using USDC as gas fees alone.
zkFair already used USDC as gas.
Celo supports stablecoin gas.
Base and Arbitrum can let users pay gas in USDC through paymasters.
Tempo and Plasma are also building around stablecoin payments.
So if your whole Arc thesis is just “USDC gas,” you are missing the point.
The real Arc story is not that nobody has touched stablecoin payments before.
They have.
The bigger thing is Circle trying to make USDC feel like the normal money for everything onchain.
- Pay with it
- Settle with it
- Swap with it
- Build apps around it
- Let agents use it
- Let institutions move with it privately
Real apps where money movement is not an extra feature, but the product itself.
That is the part that makes Arc interesting to me.

It feels very likely that we are getting @Arc mainnet anytime soon.
But the real question is:
Are we also getting ARC token launch and TGE on day 1 of mainnet?
Because mainnet is one thing.
TGE is another thing entirely.
And knowing crypto, people are already preparing their expectations for both at the same time.
okay kinda see something interestingly promising here, but still not an arc moat
at least for now
.@oxtochi makes a fair point, so I won’t counter it. But @arc has broader use cases.
A standout feature often overlooked is its "Autonomous Economic Identity Layer", essentially an AI-powered economic operating system for humans and AI.
The idea:
everyone gets an intelligent financial agent that manages payments, negotiates services, receives income, allocates savings, accesses global markets, and operates seamlessly across countries.
Giving a freelancer in Nigeria with such an agent as an example
The agent could;
- find gigs automatically
- negotiate rates
- receive payments in stablecoins
- convert currency smartly
- allocate savings
- build on-chain work reputation
- access microloans
- track taxes
- guard against scams
Web2 products can’t achieve this . APIs are permissioned, and AI agents can’t autonomously own assets or transact globally.
Blockchain is essential here, and @arc is designed for it.
Do we have any web3 product that already does this? I haven’t seen one. I
