The first stock of stablecoins, Circle, has officially launched the new public chain ARC points system, and the interactive guide is here

Author: Cong Ge.sats

The issuer of USDC @circle has recently launched a points program for @arc.
The biggest highlight is its strong background and zero-cost investment, making it worth interacting with.
Arc is an internal project of Circle, and although it has not publicly raised funds, Circle Ventures has launched the Arc Builders Fund (amount undisclosed) to attract investment from over 30 top VC networks in ecological projects.
ARC is driven by Circle's core engineering team, and Circle's strength needs no further explanation, as it is the world's largest publicly listed stablecoin project, with USDC issuance exceeding $50 billion.
Arc is positioned as an open Layer1 blockchain specifically designed for stablecoin finance, using USDC as its native Gas, providing sub-second performance, a built-in FX engine, and optional privacy services to support enterprise-level financial applications.
Arc House Points Program: Points and badges can be earned by making various contributions to the community, and these contribution certificates are likely to be the main basis for future airdrops.
Contribution categories: There are five categories in total: event contributions, content contributions, forum contributions, community activities, and other contributions. Different contributions offer not only point rewards but also additional badge rewards.

Here are the currently easy ways to earn points for reference, with the interaction steps as follows:
Step 1: Register an Arc account with your email and log in +5 points.
community.arc.network/home

Note:

• A login link will be sent to your email upon registration, and you need to click the link in your email to log in.

• You can earn 5 points for logging in every day.

Step 2: Click on the profile picture in the upper right corner "Edit Profile" to complete your personal information +100 points.

Step 3: Click on "Content" on the left to read articles, earning +5 points for each article (up to 5 articles per day).

Step 4: Click on "Content" on the left to watch a video +5 points (limited to once per day).
Step 5: Click on the "Events" page on the left and register for all available events.

Note: You can earn 5 points for each event registration.
These are the currently suitable contribution types for interaction; other ways to earn points are more complicated and have threshold requirements. It is recommended to interact daily, and new ways to earn contribution points will be updated with project dynamics.
Additionally, after reaching 500 points, you can unlock "Architect Role Level 1," with a total of 5 levels. You can only apply once you meet the point requirements, and the requirements and benefits for different levels are as follows:

It is speculated that the architect level is related to future airdrops or new issuance quotas, and upgrading is a key focus of interaction.
The target users for ARC created by Circle are enterprise developers, financial applications (such as payments, lending, RWA, agency economy), and institutions (such as banks, Fintech). Pain points include significant volatility in traditional chain Gas, high settlement uncertainty, insufficient privacy, complex cross-chain interactions, and unclear compliance. Currently, the scale of stablecoins exceeds $200 billion and continues to grow, with enterprise-level applications (such as 24/7 settlement, RWA tokenization) exploding. However, existing L1/L2 Gas is unstable and has high latency, making it difficult to support high-frequency finance, which is where Arc comes into play. Compared to other L1s, Arc is not easily replaceable. Its underlying technology is exclusively integrated by Circle and designed for enterprise-level (quantum-resistant roadmap), forming a moat. The testnet has already attracted over 155 teams, so those optimistic about ARC can start interacting.
