Arc Testnet Sees Surge in DeFi and Gaming Activity Ahead of Mainnet Launch
Arc's newly launched testnet is demonstrating robust early engagement as users explore its Layer-1 capabilities for real-world economic applications. The network, designed for programmable money, has seen immediate traction in decentralized finance tools and gaming platforms.
Initial user flows involve wallet connectivity and network configuration, followed by social tasks and NFT minting. A Genesis Pass NFT serves as a gateway to advanced features like token swaps and liquidity operations—effectively creating organic testing scenarios while onboarding participants.
Testnet infrastructure includes free faucets from Circle, distributing trial versions of USDC and EURC at scheduled intervals. This mirrors Arc's planned support for stablecoin gas fees, offering a functional preview of future transaction mechanics.
