Different financial applications need different things from a network. @blockjain previews Arc Sectors for privacy, payments, and agents, alongside the planned move to Proof of Stake. This session includes a demo of how private payments could work in Arc Portal.

Uniswap v4 gives builders more ways to design markets on Arc. @haydenzadams and Ben Morris discuss customizable liquidity pools, new asset launches, and building access to liquidity for cirBTC. A conversation on how more assets coming onchain changes what developers can build with them.

Building an earn product on @arc? Integrate Morpho Vaults curated by @SteakhouseFi @gauntlet_xyz @Bitwise @galaxyhq @keyrock and more directly via the Arc Earn Kit SDK.
Connect idle USDC in Arc apps to supported @Morpho Vaults.

A drone needs power. It finds a charger, verifies its identity, receives a price quote, authorizes payment in USDC, and settles on Arc. No human checkout. No waiting. Just machines transacting with machines. This is the agentic economy, live on Arc.
