The Arc Chain Record Terminal
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
An independent technical record of Arc, Circle’s USDC-gas Layer 1, tracking its launch, validator setup, testnet activity, RPC status, and unverifiable pre-launch token data.
Field notes
The record separates six launch gates, including RPC availability, bridge attestation, explorer access, permissionless deployment, USDC administration roles, and the scheduled Zero7/Zero8 fork. It also tracks Arc’s public testnet as chain 5042002 while keeping a separate ledger for third-party observations from the gated mainnet. The page explicitly includes sybil traffic in its pre-launch counts rather than presenting those figures as clean evidence of demand.
