In this replay clip, Jeremy Allaire and Nikhil Chandhok describe why Arc must operate as a true economic operating system for the internet. They note that Arc cannot be limited to a single asset such as USDC. Instead, Arc is designed to enable gas payments in multiple stablecoins based on user demand.
Their guiding principle is simple: go where the users are. If users prefer to pay gas with a specific stablecoin, Arc aims to collaborate directly with that stablecoin issuer to make this possible. This flexibility supports a seamless user experience and expands Arc’s relevance across global markets.
The two also emphasize that Arc should not be perceived as “Circle’s chain” or a U.S.-centric platform. For Arc to function as global financial infrastructure, it must include validators and participants from around the world—major financial companies, infrastructure providers, and technology firms.
By embracing multi-stablecoin support, neutral governance, and a diverse validator set, Arc strengthens its role as an open, enterprise-grade Economic OS capable of supporting worldwide economic activity.
