Backpack Now Supports Arc Across Exchange and Wallet

Arc is now fully integrated into Backpack. You can deposit and withdraw USDC on Arc through Backpack Exchange, and swap, bridge, and explore the Arc ecosystem in Backpack Wallet in full self-custody.

About Arc

Arc is an open Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin-native finance, designed by Circle and launched by Arc Network Services LLC. Public mainnet went live on September 16, 2026, after a private mainnet phase with more than 100 ecosystem and institutional builders.

USDC is the native gas token on Arc, so transaction fees are denominated in dollars instead of a volatile gas token. Transactions reach deterministic finality in under a second, and the network is EVM compatible. Arc also connects directly to Circle's platform, including CCTP and Gateway, for moving native USDC across chains.

The network is built for payments, FX, lending, tokenized assets, and agentic economic activity.
