Arc is officially live, and VelvetX is live with it from Day 1.
Arc is one of the most anticipated new chain launches we’ve seen since Robinhood Chain, bringing a new Circle-built ecosystem onchain with stablecoins and financial markets at its core.
And VelvetX traders are there from the very beginning.
As Circle launches its new Layer 1, VelvetX is bringing Arc directly into our multi-chain trading terminal on Day 1 of mainnet, including Trenches support from launch.
Starting today, VelvetX users can discover new Arc tokens, analyze opportunities with AI, move capital across chains gaslessly, and trade from the same terminal they already use across crypto.
No waiting for the ecosystem to mature.
We’re here from Day 1.
What Is Arc?
Arc is an open Layer 1 blockchain built by Circle, the company behind USDC.
Circle describes Arc as the “Economic OS for the internet”, infrastructure purpose-built for financial markets, real-time money movement, and agentic economic activity.
Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Arc has been designed specifically around financial use cases such as:
Stablecoin payments
Onchain FX
Lending and borrowing
Tokenized assets
Treasury management
Capital markets
Cross-border payments
Agentic finance
One of Arc’s biggest differences is its gas model.
USDC is the native gas asset on Arc.
Instead of needing a separate volatile token just to transact, users can hold USDC, move USDC, and use that same balance to pay network fees.
Arc also features deterministic sub-second finality and integration with Circle’s infrastructure, including USDC, CCTP, and Gateway.
It’s a blockchain built around money, and VelvetX is supporting it from its first day on mainnet.
Arc Trenches Are Live From Day 1
New chains move fast during their earliest days.
New tokens launch. New communities form. New opportunities emerge before most traders even know where to look.
That’s why Arc is supported in the VelvetX Trenches from Day 1.
At launch, VelvetX brings together tokens across eight Arc launchpads and trading venues:
Uniswap CCA
Flap
o1.exchange
Argus
Peach
Tolly
Lift
Doppler
Instead of jumping between platforms trying to find what’s launching, VelvetX gives traders one place to explore new Arc tokens across the ecosystem.
Find tokens early.
Track new launches across multiple launchpads.
Analyze opportunities with Velvet Unicorn AI.
Trade directly through VelvetX.
As Arc’s token ecosystem develops, we’ll continue expanding coverage across the Trenches.
Arc launches today, and VelvetX traders can be in the Trenches from Day 1.
Gasless Cross-Chain Swaps to and From Arc
Finding an opportunity early doesn’t help if getting your capital onto the chain takes multiple bridges and transactions.
VelvetX removes that friction.
With VelvetX, you can gaslessly move assets on and off Arc from other major ecosystems in just a few seconds, including:
Robinhood Chain
Solana
Base
BNB Chain
Ethereum
And other supported networks
No manually bridging assets.
No switching between multiple apps.
No worrying about having the right gas token before you can move.
Whether you spot an early token in the Arc Trenches or want to rotate capital back into another ecosystem, VelvetX makes moving between chains fast and seamless.
See an opportunity on Arc. Move capital over. Trade it.
All from one terminal.
Trade Arc From Day 1
The earliest days of a new chain are often when its ecosystem moves fastest.
That’s what makes being there from Day 1 important.
VelvetX gives traders a place to start exploring Arc as the ecosystem develops.
Discover what’s launching in the Trenches.
Analyze opportunities with AI.
Move capital onto Arc gaslessly.
Trade.
All through one interface.
As Arc’s ecosystem grows and new assets, protocols, and markets emerge, VelvetX traders can follow that growth from the very beginning.
AI Meets an Agentic Financial Network
One of the most interesting parts of Arc is its focus on agentic economic activity.
Arc is being built for a future where AI agents can coordinate and settle value through programmable, stablecoin-native infrastructure.
That’s a natural fit for Velvet.
With Velvet Unicorn AI, we’re building toward a world where AI doesn’t just analyze markets. It can help users research opportunities, make decisions, build strategies, and ultimately act onchain.
Arc provides financial infrastructure for that world.
Velvet Unicorn provides the intelligence layer.
VelvetX provides trading experience.
And we’re bringing them together from Day 1.
One Terminal Across Chains
Arc becomes the latest ecosystem integrated into VelvetX’s growing multi-chain trading experience.
Rather than maintaining different wallets, bridges, analytics tools, and trading interfaces for every network, VelvetX is building one place to move wherever opportunities emerge.
From Solana and Base to BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum, Ink, Arc, and more, the goal remains the same:
More chains. More markets. Less friction.
With Arc, that means trading, Trenches, AI, and gasless cross-chain access from Day 1.
