Circle’s public blockchain Arc reportedly launched privately, with LayerZero and LI.FI already deployed

Odaily Planet Daily News: On July 13, crypto KOL @amathxbt and others revealed that Circle’s public chain Arc may have been launched non-publicly. Cross-chain protocols LayerZero and LI.FI have been deployed on the Arc network, but community testing has not yet been publicly opened. Arc is a public Layer 1 blockchain, positioned as the "economic operating system of the internet," providing shared and composable infrastructure to support economic contracts, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and global market operations. In May this year, Circle officially released the ARC whitepaper, outlining the design framework of ARC as the native coordination asset of the Arc blockchain network. The Arc public testnet launched in October 2025, with the mainnet expected to go live in the summer of 2026.
