Crypto trading on Arc
arky is a crypto trading terminal on Arc, Circle's blockchain where USDC is the gas token. From one screen you trade memecoins, spot assets and prediction markets, all priced and settled in USDC. Scout, the built-in AI agent, reads live markets and proposes trades, and your own wallet signs every one.
These guides cover how trading works on Arc, what a trading terminal gives you there, and how to use an AI agent without handing it your keys.

Why trade on Arc
Arc is a layer-1 blockchain built by Circle, the issuer of USDC. Its own documentation says fees are denominated in USDC, the native gas token, and that transactions are final in under a second (Arc gas and fees). For a trader, that means three practical things:
- One balance. The dollars you trade with are the dollars that pay for gas. There is no second token to top up.
- Costs you can read. Network fees are quoted in dollars, not in a token whose price moves while you trade.
- Fast confirmation. A trade is final once it lands; there is no waiting for extra block confirmations.
