The First NFT Marketplace
on Arc Network

ArcaneFi is the pioneering NFT marketplace built natively on Arc — Circle's stablecoin-native Layer-1 blockchain. Create collections, trade NFTs, and earn real rewards through XP, daily streaks, soulbound achievement badges, and mystery boxes — all settled in USDC with near-instant finality.

What is ArcaneFi?

ArcaneFi is a fully on-chain NFT marketplace running on Arc Network — a Layer-1 blockchain built by Circle, the company behind USDC. Every listing, sale, offer, and NFT transfer is executed by smart contracts on Arc. There is no centralised order book. All state is publicly verifiable.

What makes ArcaneFi distinct is its deep gamification layer: users earn XP for every action they take, build daily streaks, claim Soulbound Token badges as permanent proof of achievement, and receive mystery boxes with real on-chain rewards — including actual USDC sent directly to their wallet.

Why Arc Network?

Arc uses USDC as its native gas token — meaning transaction fees are paid in dollars, not in a volatile native coin. Combined with ~1 second block times and full EVM compatibility, Arc provides an ideal foundation for a marketplace where NFT pricing, payments, fees, and rewards all run in a single dollar-stable asset.

💵
USDC for Everything
Gas fees, NFT purchases, platform fees, and mystery box USDC rewards — all in one dollar-stable token. No volatile assets to manage.
⚡
Near-Instant Settlement
Arc targets ~1 second block times. NFT purchases and mints confirm in real time with no waiting for multiple confirmations.
