Steve

10 days until Arc. 🌴 Steve, @organ_danny and @bleso_a finally made it to paradise. After everything it took to get here, even the road to mainnet can wait for a minute. 😎 Steve may have misjudged the pool entrance though… his crown made it back up before he did. 👑😂 And apparently they weren’t the only ones who had the same idea. 👀 Vacation mode is officially on. The adventure continues.

Wen Steve 👀

Welcome to @arc mainnet. Fresh chain, fresh attention and a lot of buyers already stepping in. Steve made it here with the community still standing. Now the real chapter starts. 👀👑

Steve picked his winners. 👑 Congrats @Cryptostar0098 and @Priest110589 , 100 USDC each is yours. Appreciate everyone who joined in and showed support. This won’t be the last one. 👀 Check your DMs.

3 days until Arc. Giveaway winners later today. After that, Steve is back on mainnet duty. 👀 Not much longer now.

5 days until Arc. Steve brought in @KashRazzaghi for Briefing 004. This one is all about the business case for @arc : Money movement. FX. Programmable treasury. Institutional infrastructure. The rails are getting very real 👀

6 days until Arc. @bleso_a joined Steve for Mainnet Briefing #03. Today’s focus: a look at building on @arc, from familiar EVM tooling and pre-audited contract templates to app wallets and testnet infrastructure from MetaMask, Alchemy, Chainlink, Thirdweb and others. Arc isn’t asking builders to start from scratch. 👀

Fell into the rabbit hole for five minutes. Came back with one conclusion: 99.9% of the agentic payment volume in this data is already USDC. The Arc thesis pretty much writes itself from there. 👀

7 days until Arc . @organ_danny joined Steve for briefing #02. Today’s topic: where Arc actually sits inside Circle’s bigger stack. From USDC and CCTP to payments and FX, there’s a lot more behind Arc than just another chain. Meme first. Research included. 👀

8 days until Arc Mainnet. Plenty of people know @arc is coming. Fewer know what actually makes it different. USDC gas, sub-second finality and infrastructure built around stablecoin finance. Steve did some homework. 👀

9 days until Arc. After a few days enjoying the resort, it was time for the meeting Steve had been waiting for. The final boss. 👀 @jerallaire Danny handled the introductions. Steve handled the belt. Vacation is over now though. Back to work. Things are only getting started. Steve’s got plenty left to do before mainnet. Stay tuned.

Knowledge with Steve 🧠 Here’s a detail about @arc that’s easy to miss: USDC isn’t just used to pay gas. On Arc, the same underlying USDC balance is exposed through both a native and ERC-20 interface, while developers can keep using familiar EVM tooling. One asset for value, gas and smart contract interaction. Especially interesting when the user isn’t always human. 👀 arc.io/blog/usdc-for-every-a…

11 days until Arc. Steve and @organ_danny finally made it to the desk. Steve clearly couldn’t wait any longer… 🔔😂 And somehow @bleso_a ended up joining the trip too. Looks like the travel crew just got bigger. 👀 The adventure continues.

12 days until Arc. ✈️ Seatbelt sign is on. Danny buckles up like a normal passenger. Steve just points at the obvious. He’s been wearing the belt the whole time. 😎 Next stop: mainnet.

While Steve is busy finding his way to mainnet, the actual agent stack keeps getting more interesting. Circle just published a new tutorial where an AI agent uses an Agent Wallet, pays for market data in USDC and builds a research-first trading thesis with spend tracking. 👀 This is what agent commerce starts to look like.

13 days until Arc mainnet. Steve and Danny are officially on the move. Bags packed. Destination locked. Next stop: mainnet. ✈️

14 days until Arc. Danny showed up to get Steve. Guess that means the adventure starts now. A little Steve x Danny mini-series on the road to mainnet.

Mainnet is getting closer, so we thought we’d have a little fun on the way there. Starting today, Steve is getting his own little road to mainnet series. Some work, some adventures, a few familiar faces… and hopefully a vacation somewhere in between. For now, there’s still work to do. 15 days until Arc.

A little something for the people who’ve been here early. $200 USDC giveaway. 2 winners. $100 each. A small way to celebrate Arc mainnet with the community.

From Steve to you.

FOMO is coming to @arc from day one. Having a major trading platform live from launch means more eyes, more traders and more activity across the ecosystem from the start. Arc day one keeps getting more interesting. 17 days until Arc. 👀
