On July 1, 2026, Arc announced its participation in the Chainlink Scale program. Developers building on Arc can now leverage Chainlink's industry-standard infrastructure services, which are known for enabling secure, transparent, and scalable decentralized applications. These tools are widely recognized as benchmarks for blockchain solution providers pushing technological boundaries.
Enterprise-Grade Tools for Developers
According to the Arc team, access to institutional-grade secure infrastructure through the Scale program empowers developers to create advanced on-chain applications on the network. Circle, the issuer of USDC, is a major fintech and digital asset player. Arc's progress alongside the Circle ecosystem further highlights the network's strong focus on stablecoin-powered infrastructure and services.
As stablecoins increasingly power payments, settlements, and financial services, robust technical infrastructure becomes essential. By joining Chainlink Scale, Arc aligns with a growing trend among blockchains to adopt institutional-grade solutions built for real-world business demands.
CCIP Powers Cross-Chain Connectivity
A standout element of this partnership is the integration of Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This advanced protocol enables secure token transfers and messaging across disparate blockchains, opening new possibilities for developers to build apps that function seamlessly across multiple ecosystems.
Cross-chain functionality is critical for stablecoin projects. Both individuals and institutions need tools to move assets safely and swiftly between networks. With CCIP integrated, Arc gains a built-in, reliable framework for such transfers. The integration also reduces technical overhead—teams can use Chainlink's ready-made, well-supported infrastructure layer instead of building custom interoperability solutions from scratch.
Market Data and Reserve Verification
The collaboration also covers Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams, which deliver high-frequency, low-latency market data to DeFi applications and forex platforms. Accurate, timely data is vital for developers working on lending platforms, payment systems, and risk management tools.
Another critical component is Chainlink Proof of Reserve, which provides automated on-chain and cross-chain verification of asset reserves. This innovative solution allows users to transparently monitor whether assets are properly collateralized, driving greater trust and transparency. By combining cross-chain connectivity, comprehensive market data, and transparent reserve verification in a unified framework, Arc positions itself for accelerated growth. Its entry into the Scale program underscores Arc's ambition to serve as a high-performance blockchain built for the next wave of stablecoin-driven financial innovation.
