Circle Unveils Arc Blockchain Network with Quantum Resistance

Circle has launched its own Layer 1 blockchain network, Arc, designed specifically for managing stablecoins such as USDC. The new network aims to provide a secure and efficient way for institutional and financial transactions to occur.

Arc's unique design includes quantum resistance in its base architecture, allowing users to create wallets with post-quantum signature methods that are resistant to future supercomputers' attacks.

The network's consensus engine enables ultra-fast transfers with no waiting time, making it an attractive option for businesses and financial institutions. Circle has designed Arc with a three-phase roadmap to ensure a smooth transition and prevent disruptions or forced migrations for existing users.
