What if you didn't wait for permission to build on @arc ?
Arc gives devs everything needed to bring a project to life: docs, quickstarts, testnet faucet, sample apps.
I will be Dropping some links in the comments.
I don't even have the architect role yet. Still shipped ArcPay: a non-custodial USDC payment gateway, live on Arc.
If you're a dev or a vibecoder, this is your chance to jump on @arc.
After months of building, just got the builder role on @arc Discord 🎉
I built ArcPay: a non-custodial payment gateway on Arc. Price a checkout in naira, cedis, shillings, rand, dirhams, or dollars. the customer pays USDC, and it settles straight to your wallet in a single on-chain transaction.
No bank in the middle. Nobody holding your money.
Live on Arc testnet → arc.ogsnap.online
It's been a while since we've seen an L1 this golden.
Most L1s are trying to be a home for everything: gaming, NFTs, DeFi degens, memecoins, all competing for the same blockspace.
Arc picked a lane. Make stablecoins move like money should.
USDC as gas, instead of some volatile coin nobody outside crypto has heard of. Real finality, so a payment is just done, not "probably done in a few blocks." Fees priced in dollars, not swinging with network traffic.
And it makes sense that @Circle is the one building it. USDC is already the stablecoin people trust and actually use, across exchanges, apps, real payments. Pairing that with a chain built specifically for it isn't a coincidence, it's the obvious next step.
This isn't a side feature, it's the whole design. Most chains treat stablecoins as just another token that happens to move on them. Arc is built the other way around.
Mainnet goes public September 16, with BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC, and more running as founding validators. That's not hype, that's real institutions choosing to secure this network.
@Arc and USDC are one of the best things that's happened to crypto.
why arc someone asked:
~ USDC is the gas token. One asset, no separate coin to hold.
~Deterministic finality. Payments settle in seconds, not "pending" for minutes.
~ Built for stablecoins, not retrofitted.
~ Dollar-denominated fees, not unpredictable gas spikes.
so why not @arc .

What if you run an online business, and your customer wants to pay in stablecoin?
Integrate ArcPay.
ArcPay is a USDC payment gateway built on Arc → arc.ogsnap.online
You price in naira. Your customer pays in stablecoin. You get settled. No bank in the middle. Nobody holding your money.
Under the hood it runs on Arc, where USDC is the native gas token, so there's just one asset to move, no separate gas coin. Settlement is final on-chain in seconds, not stuck "pending." The rate locks at checkout, so the price never drifts. Flat 0.5% fee. Non-custodial, so the money goes straight from your customer to you. And a signed webhook tells your app the second it lands.
That's ArcPay. Price in your currency. Get paid in dollars. Settled instantly, across any border.
Currently supporting 5 currencies: naira, cedis, shillings, rand, and dirhams.
Note: this is running on testnet for now. Try the demo → arc.ogsnap.online/demo
I saw Chuks post about Arc a couple of months ago, where he talked about building something on it. That's what pushed me to go for it too.
@Chuksdakingz you're the motivation behind ArcPay. Thank you.
Saw this stray odd-eyed cat today and I was so keen to snap it!
I was curious, so I decided to do some research. Turns out its different-colored eyes are actually not a disease, deformity, or medical condition that causes suffering. Instead, it is a completely harmless genetic trait called heterochromia.
While it looks incredibly unique, this cat isn't in any pain. Its two different-colored eyes are just the result of a cool genetic quirk. All kittens are born with blue eyes. As they grow, pigment cells (melanocytes) usually move into the iris, changing the eye color to green, yellow, or amber. In this cat, the process just paused in one eye.
Nature performs art in different ways.
