【ChainNews】Circle Ventures announces the launch of the Arc Developer Fund, planning to allocate dedicated funds and integrate investor networks to support early-stage teams building real-world financial applications on the Arc operating system. The core logic of this fund is quite clear—identify projects that truly master Arc’s technical features to accelerate development.

Specific support areas include several key sectors: first, on-chain markets based on low-latency architecture; second, RWA and private credit markets built on private composable infrastructure; third, an on-chain foreign exchange liquidity system integrating Circle stablecoins and payment networks. Additionally, intelligent agents for autonomous systems and machine economy, as well as energy and computing protocols driven by deterministic settlement.

From this list of directions, it’s evident that Arc is not developing a general-purpose public chain, but rather focusing on vertical optimization for financial operating systems—emphasizing low-latency interactions, privacy composability, stablecoin integration, and deterministic settlement. For developers, this fund is essentially an official message: these are the sectors we are investing in, with technical support, funding, and ecosystem backing. Early teams interested in this space now have a clearer development direction.

It looks like Circle has a very clear plan for the next move, and Arc is definitely not here to compete with that group of general chains. RWA (Real World Assets) is indeed interesting, but I'm just worried it might turn out to be a bunch of PPT projects. Low latency + privacy sounds good, but how many can actually be implemented? After so long working on the machine economy, we still haven't seen a killer app. The integration of stablecoins is somewhat appealing, after all, Circle's network is right here. Honestly, it still depends on who can really turn this set of ideas into reality. There's plenty of funding, but what’s scarce is the ability to create something tangible.

Low-latency on-chain markets are indeed attractive, but how many projects can actually be used? --- The RWA approach is back again. I've heard it so many times, now it depends on who can truly get it running. --- Machine economy agents? Sounds pretty sci-fi, but Circle's current direction is still pragmatic. --- Arc really doesn't follow the general-purpose chain approach. The positioning is clear, but whether the ecosystem will develop remains to be seen. --- Stablecoin integration with low latency, the level of integration is pretty good, but competitors are also doing similar things. --- How's the size of this fund? Are there specific numbers? I'm already tired of seeing money burned to build ecosystems. --- I have some doubts about private composable infrastructure. Is it really privacy, or just a different way of saying it?

Speaking of Arc, this wave is really targeting the financial sector without letting go. The vertical approach is quite aggressive. *** Emm, the RWA private credit part sounds good, but I’m not sure how it will actually be implemented. *** Low latency + privacy can be combined; this combo really has some substance, much more honest than those all-in-one public chains. *** Circle is throwing money again. Do they really want to make Arc the ceiling of financial operating systems? *** The machine economy intelligent agents still feel like just talk on paper. Let’s see when a real project comes out. *** Stablecoin integration + payment network, it seems like they want to build the cross-border remittance infrastructure on-chain. Not small ambitions. *** Basically, it’s a focused chain in the financial niche. Anyway, current general-purpose public chains are too competitive.

honestly? low-latency RWA markets sound nice until you actually need settlement finality... learned that one the hard way
