In this replay segment, Jeremy Allaire and Nikhil Chandhok explore how Arc is being built as the Economic OS for the internet and what that means for real-world adoption.
They underscore that to truly operate as an Economic OS, Arc has to do things differently from traditional blockchains. That difference is resonating with leading global institutions, who are increasingly looking to collaborate and build on Arc. These institutions, in turn, are expected to be a major driver in bringing billions of users onchain.
The conversation centers on the real economy, where businesses and individuals think in familiar terms like dollars, euros, pesos, and other local currencies. For Arc to succeed at internet scale, the experience has to feel simple and intuitive: people should not need to think about complex token mechanics or multiple gas assets to access financial products.
Jeremy and Nikhil highlight that two parties engaging in a private transaction is core to how society functions today. Arc is designed to preserve that core behavior while making it available at internet scale, with significant throughput and low friction. Using USDC and other stablecoins as gas on Arc allows users to access financial products around the world in a currency they already understand, while benefiting from the speed, efficiency, and programmability of onchain infrastructure.
By combining private, high-throughput transactions with stablecoins as gas, Arc aims to bridge the gap between traditional financial expectations and next-generation onchain finance, making it easier for both institutions and everyday users to participate.
