Arc Mainnet Launch Brings 10B ARC Mint Into Focus

Arc Mainnet is now live, marking the public launch of an open Layer 1 blockchain designed for financial markets and agentic activity. The network launched with more than 100 applications and over 100 institutions and ecosystem builders already participating. Its founding validator group includes major names such as BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, ICE, Mastercard and SBI Group. The launch also places attention on the planned 10 billion ARC mint, while highlighting the scale of Circle’s involvement in the project. The breadth of the initial application, institutional and validator base gives Arc Mainnet an immediate presence across financial-market and digital-asset infrastructure.
