This repository is a personal log of one developer's work on Arc Testnet, an experimental blockchain network built by Circle around the stablecoin USDC instead of a volatile token like Ethereum's ETH. The README explains that on Arc, transaction fees are paid in USDC and cost a tiny fraction of a cent, and transactions confirm in under a second, which the author argues makes it practical for software agents to send very small automatic payments to each other, something that would be too expensive or too slow on Ethereum. The repo itself does not contain a single application. Instead it is an index page linking out to more than a dozen separate projects the author built and deployed on Arc Testnet, including a decentralized token exchange called ArcDEX, a savings style vault contract, a system for giving software agents an on chain identity, a tool for capping how much an agent can spend per day or per transaction, a way to split incoming payments among multiple recipients, and a coordinator for multiple agents working together. Several of these projects also have their own live demo websites linked in the README. The author also published a TypeScript software development kit, or SDK, on npm, the package registry for JavaScript projects, so other developers can install a single package and interact with these deployed contracts using a few lines of code rather than writing that logic themselves. The README shows short code examples for registering an agent identity, checking whether a spending limit allows a transaction, and reading a price from the token exchange. Beyond building these projects, the author also submitted more than 20 pull requests to Circle's own official Arc repositories and a few other related projects, contributing documentation and example code back to the wider ecosystem. The README does not list a license for this repository.
