About arky, the trading terminal on Arc
arky (arky.bet) is the trading terminal on Arc, Circle's USDC-native blockchain. In one web app you launch and trade memecoins, take positions on prediction markets and trade spot, all in USDC, and every user gets Scout, an AI agent that researches and proposes trades while your wallet signs each one.
What arky is
arky is a trading terminal in the style of Axiom, built for one chain: Arc. Instead of jumping between a launchpad, a prediction market, a DEX and a bridge, you do all of it from the same screen at app.arky.bet. Prices, balances, fees and payouts are shown in USDC, because on Arc the dollar is the native unit.
The name is short on purpose. You will see it written as arky, arky.bet or "arky bet"; they are the same product. arky is an independent app built on Arc. It is not made by Circle.
Why arky is built on Arc
Arc is the EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain created by Circle, the issuer of USDC. Three of its design choices shape how arky works (see the Arc documentation for the details):
- USDC is the gas token. You pay network fees in dollars. There is no ETH or other volatile coin to buy first, which removes the most common stumbling block for a first trade. Our guide to Arc explains how this works.
- Sub-second deterministic finality. A transaction is final once it is confirmed, with no waiting for extra blocks. For memecoins and event markets, where prices move fast, that matters.
- EVM compatibility. Arc runs the same smart contract model as Ethereum, so familiar wallets such as MetaMask work, and tools like Uniswap v4 pools are available. See how to add Arc to MetaMask.
We think Arc is where dollar-denominated trading on chain is heading, and that it needs a trading terminal of its own. arky is that terminal.

Scout, an AI agent for every user
Every arky account comes with Scout. Ask it which tokens are moving, what a prediction market is pricing, or why a coin just spiked, and it answers from live arky data. Scout works only from arky's own live data; it does not browse the web.
Scout can also act. It can propose a trade, or draft and launch a memecoin from a short description. It never moves funds on its own: your wallet signs every trade, and arky checks every fill on chain before reporting it as done. You stay in control; Scout does the legwork.
How arky compares
Arc already has several launchpads, and the wider market has well-known prediction markets and trading terminals. arky's angle is to combine them in one terminal on Arc, priced in USDC, with an AI agent built in. We keep side-by-side comparisons honest and sourced: see arky vs Argus, arky vs Polymarket and the full comparison hub.
