Start here — three steps

Arc is Circle's own blockchain, and it runs on USDC: gas is paid in USDC, not in a separate coin. Here's how to be ready in a couple of minutes.

  1. 1

    Add Arc to your wallet

    One click adds the Arc network (chain 5042) to MetaMask, Rabby or any injected wallet — the RPC, the explorer and USDC as the gas currency.

  2. 2

    Bring USDC to Arc

    Move USDC from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and other chains with the Bridge — it runs on Circle's CCTP, so USDC arrives as native USDC. Keep a little for gas.
