USDC (USDC)

I’ve spent the last few weeks digging through countless blockchain projects, whitepapers, and roadmaps trying to find the teams building for the next decade, not the next hype cycle.

One project kept showing up in my research and that project was @arc

The more I researched it, the more I wondered why more people weren’t talking about it.

So instead of gatekeeping, let me share what I found.

ARC is @circle’s Layer 1 blockchain, and it’s not trying to be just another chain in the crowd. It’s being built as the Economic Operating System for the internet. Let’s break it down.

ARC is designed around a simple idea: how value should actually move online.

What that looks like:
✅ Built natively around stablecoins like USDC
✅ EVM compatible, so builders can plug in without friction
✅ Designed for real use cases like payments, DeFi, eCommerce, and AI agents
✅ Post-quantum security from day one, built for the long term

This is the kind of infrastructure the next wave of the internet will run on.

Say you need exactly $100 USDC on @base to make a payment.

With most bridges, this becomes a math problem.

You estimate the conversion, account for fees, check if you have gas, do the transaction, and then see what you get.

Even $1 short means sending extra or redoing it. All because you needed a clean $100.

'Exact Out' solves this.

With Avail Nexus, you can directly choose the output amount.

Nexus calculates the required input in real-time, handles the routing, and gets you to exactly $100.

Not $96, not $103.
No backwards math. No guesswork. No second transaction.

Exact In when you know what you want to spend.
Exact Out when you know what needs to arrive.

And the same experience shows up across every Liquid App powered by Avail Nexus.
