Etherscan launches ArcScan, a block explorer for Circle's Arc network
- —ArcScan is available at arc-scan.org for mainnet and testnet.arc-scan.org for testnet
- —Arc mainnet launched on September 16, 2026, and the network processes hundreds of thousands of transactions per day
- —USDC serves as Arc's native gas token, with blocks produced every ~500 ms
- —The explorer supports Etherscan-compatible APIs but does not yet verify contracts via Sourcify
Why it matters: Etherscan API compatibility will ease developer migration into the Arc ecosystem, strengthening Circle's position in stablecoin payments.
