1inch lands on Arc

Swap through the 1inch dApp and Wallet and provide liquidity through Aqua on Circle’s new Layer 1 built for stablecoin finance, with access also live for builders through 1inch APIs.

Stablecoins are moving far beyond simple transfers. They are becoming settlement assets for payments, tokenized markets and increasingly complex on-chain activity.

Arc is built specifically for that environment. Circle’s new EVM-compatible Layer 1 combines stablecoin-based gas fees with deterministic sub-second finality and infrastructure designed for financial applications.

Now, Arc is supported across the 1inch dApp, 1inch Wallet and 1inch Aqua, bringing 1inch swapping and liquidity infrastructure to the network as its ecosystem goes live.

What is Arc?

Arc is a network that takes a different approach to blockchain infrastructure: it is designed around stablecoins from the start.

Instead of requiring a separate volatile native token for transaction fees, Arc uses USDC as native gas. Fees are therefore denominated in a familiar, stable asset. The network also offers deterministic sub-second finality and full EVM compatibility, allowing developers to use established Ethereum tools and Solidity contracts.

Arc is closely integrated with Circle’s wider infrastructure and assets, including USDC and EURC. Its target use cases range from stablecoin payments and on-chain FX to tokenized real-world assets and agent-driven transactions.

The network arrives with significant institutional involvement. According to Circle, more than 100 ecosystem and institutional builders were already working on Arc ahead of its public mainnet launch. Now, 1inch brings its swapping and liquidity infrastructure to that ecosystem.

Trade on Arc with 1inch

With Arc support, you can swap assets on the network directly through the 1inch dApp or 1inch Wallet.

Arc’s stablecoin-focused design makes it particularly suited to markets where predictable costs and fast settlement matter. USDC serves both as a major asset within the ecosystem and as the token used to pay network fees.

Meanwhile, full EVM compatibility makes Arc part of the broader Ethereum ecosystem rather than an isolated environment. For 1inch users, it is simply another supported network accessible through the same familiar interface.

And for Web3 builders, Arc will be available immediately through the 1inch APIs they use in their existing integration for DeFi swaps, blockchain data and RPC nodes.

Built for stablecoin-native markets

Arc has been designed around a financial system increasingly built on stablecoins, tokenized assets and programmable transactions.

That makes swapping and liquidity infrastructure especially important. Stablecoins need markets against other stablecoins and tokenized assets. Those markets need efficient access to liquidity. And applications need infrastructure that can connect those assets without forcing users into fragmented experiences.

With the 1inch dApp, 1inch Wallet and Aqua available from day one, Arc joins the growing multichain 1inch ecosystem from the moment its public network goes live.
