Arc by Circle, Secured by Ledger from Day One

Before You Dive In:

• Arc is Circle’s new L1, purpose-built for stablecoins, with USDC as its native gas token, meaning every transaction on Arc is paid in USDC rather than a separate gas asset.
• As a Day 1 launch partner for Arc, full USDC support in Ledger Wallet™, including send, receive, swap, and Earn via Morpho and Aave vaults, will be live at mainnet launch.
• Ledger Wallet™ continues to make new opportunities available to users from the moment major chains go live.

Stablecoins are no longer a niche corner of crypto. They are the primary way value moves on-chain, and USDC sits at the centre of that. On [LAUNCH DATE], Circle takes the next step with Arc, a new Layer 1 built from the ground up for stablecoins and institutional-grade payments. 

As a Day 1 launch partner, Ledger Wallet™ supports Arc from mainnet launch, with full USDC functionality to send, receive, swap, and earn via Morpho and Aave, available at mainnet. 

What is Arc?

Circle is the issuer of USDC, the most institutionally adopted stablecoin in the world. Arc is purpose-built for stablecoins, designed to make USDC faster, cheaper, and more useful as a payments and on-chain finance layer.

On Arc, USDC is the native gas token. Unlike Ethereum, where every USDC transaction requires ETH to pay fees, Arc users pay transaction fees in USDC itself, eliminating the need to hold a separate asset just to move money.

What You Can Do With USDC on Arc in Ledger Wallet™ 

Users can add an Arc account and get started from launch, with the full suite of USDC functionality live in Ledger Wallet™ within 14 days of Arc’s mainnet launch.

Ledger Wallet™ is the most secure way to access Arc from day one. Through Ledger Wallet™, you can send and receive USDC on Arc with hardware-backed security, with every transaction verified on a secure screen before signing. 

Swaps to and from USDC on Arc give you the flexibility to move between Arc and other supported chains without leaving the Ledger ecosystem. You can also deposit USDC into Morpho and Aave vaults via Kiln, and earn market-rate yield on your stablecoin holdings, with variable yield displayed transparently before any deposit is made.*
