Arc is a layer 1 blockchain built by Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin. Circle positions it for stablecoin payments, foreign exchange and onchain capital markets, and describes it as EVM-compatible, so it works with Ethereum-style smart contracts and wallets. We do not cover its validator or consensus design here, so check Circle's official documentation for those details.
Arc has no native token listed in our data. Reports on the network say fees are paid in USDC, so transaction costs are priced in a dollar-pegged asset and not in a coin whose price swings. At the time of writing, Arc holds about $622.7M in DeFi TVL, and we list 39 dApps connected to it.
The ecosystem is mostly lending, trading and liquidity tools carried over from other EVM chains. Morpho Blue and Aave V4 cover lending, PancakeSwap Infinity and DyorSwap AMM handle swaps, edgeX Bridge moves funds across chains, and NFTX offers vault-backed NFT trading. Many other protocols on this page, including centralized exchanges and risk curators, report TVL across several chains, so read each listing to see what it offers on Arc specifically.

Arc FAQs
What is Arc?
Arc is a layer 1 blockchain built by Circle, the company that issues the USDC stablecoin. It is aimed at stablecoin payments, foreign exchange and onchain capital markets.
Is Arc EVM-compatible?
Arc is described as EVM-compatible, so developers can use Ethereum-style smart contracts and tools. That is why protocols already running on other EVM chains, such as Morpho Blue and Aave V4, can deploy there.
What token do you use to pay fees on Arc?
Reports on the network say gas is paid in USDC rather than in a volatile native token. Our data lists no native token for Arc, so you would need USDC to cover transaction fees.
How much value is locked on Arc?
Our data shows about $622.7M of DeFi TVL on Arc at the time of writing. TVL changes daily, so treat it as a snapshot and not a fixed figure.
Which dApps run on Arc?
Our listings show Arc support for Morpho Blue and Aave V4 (lending), PancakeSwap Infinity and DyorSwap AMM (DEXes), edgeX Bridge (bridging) and NFTX (NFT vaults). Check each dApp's own page for the current list of supported networks before you use it.
Is everything on this page safe to use?
Not necessarily. Some pages here, such as centralized exchanges, list one TVL figure across many chains, and that figure does not describe activity on Arc. Smart contract risk, bridge risk and stablecoin issuer risk still apply, so research each protocol and only use funds you can afford to lose.
What is the largest dApp on Arc by TVL?

Which dApp on Arc has the highest DappsAtlas score?
Uniswap V4 has the highest score at 8.5/10, ahead of Uniswap V3 (8.4) and Morpho Blue (8.0). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
