Building ArcaneFi on Arc was a deliberate strategic choice — not a default. Here is what it means for users, creators, and the long-term trajectory of the platform.
💵
Dollar-Stable Gas Fees
Gas is paid in USDC. Users always know exactly what a transaction costs in dollar terms. No gas spike surprises. No secondary volatile token to acquire just to use the network. One asset — USDC — covers everything.
⚡
~1 Second Finality
Arc targets near-instant transaction finality. NFT purchases confirm in real time. No watching a pending spinner, no waiting for multiple confirmations, no failed transactions due to gas auction dynamics.
🏛️
Circle-Built Infrastructure
Built by the creators of USDC, with backing from BlackRock, Visa, HSBC, and Deutsche Bank. This is institutional infrastructure — not a side project. The chain itself has serious credibility behind it.
🥇
First Mover on Arc
ArcaneFi is the first NFT marketplace on Arc. As the network grows toward mainnet and institutional adoption, ArcaneFi is positioned as the founding NFT infrastructure layer of the entire Arc ecosystem.
🔧
Full EVM Compatibility
Arc supports all Ethereum tooling out of the box — MetaMask, Foundry, Hardhat, Viem, OpenZeppelin, Remix. Standard Solidity contracts deploy and run immediately. No chain-specific SDK required.
🌐
Stablecoin-Native Ecosystem
Arc's deep integration with USDC and Circle's infrastructure means the financial layer under ArcaneFi is denominated in dollars. Pricing, payments, fees, rewards, and gas — all in one stable asset.
For NFT Creators
Launching a collection on ArcaneFi means deploying to a chain built by Circle, backed by global financial institutions, with USDC as the settlement layer. Creator royalties are enforced on-chain via the MarketplaceV2 contract — automatically paid on every secondary sale without any manual claiming.
Gas costs for minting and listing are paid in USDC — predictable, low, and denominated in dollars. Collectors on the platform also use USDC for purchases, meaning no currency conversion confusion.
For Collectors & Traders
The entire experience on ArcaneFi runs in USDC. You see prices in dollars, pay in dollars, receive sale proceeds in dollars, and even pay gas in dollars. This eliminates a layer of cognitive friction that exists on most NFT platforms where ETH price volatility constantly changes the effective dollar cost of every action.
For the Ecosystem
Being the first NFT marketplace on Arc means ArcaneFi establishes the standards, conventions, and user expectations for NFTs on the network. As Arc's institutional and retail user base grows toward mainnet, ArcaneFi will be the established, battle-tested marketplace they find.
🔮
Mainnet readinessArc Mainnet has not launched. ArcaneFi is building and testing on testnet precisely so the platform is production-ready from day one of mainnet — with proven contracts, an established user base, and live gamification data already accumulated.
