Circle's public chain Arc has launched its public mainnet and is now open for cross-chain transactions.

BlockBeats news, September 16 — Circle's public blockchain Arc has officially confirmed that its mainnet is now live, with Chain ID 5042, RPC at rpc.mainnet.arc.io, explorer at explorer.arc.io, and Gas paid in USDC. It supports native cross-chain deposits and withdrawals for USDC/EURC. BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, and others serve as founding validators. Circle will simultaneously launch a product suite, and some aggregated bridges have already been tested with the first batch of arrivals.

Previously, after Robinhood's chain launched, tokens represented by CASHCAT achieved 1,000x and 10,000x returns, and the market expects similar market movements on the Arc chain. As a result, on-chain funds are actively seeking opportunities to position early and front-run.

After the mainnet launch, official or partner cross-chain bridges include: Across, Axelar, Stargate, Wormhole, CircleWarp Bridge, or DYORBridge. In addition, multiple crypto-native platforms have announced they will support the Arc chain at the first opportunity, including full-chain aggregated trading tools GMGN, FOMO, NFT trading platform Opensea, and the long bridge mentioned earlier by crypto trader Bonk Guy (the LONG token distribution is overly concentrated, users should be aware of the risks).
