Introducing Arc: an open L1 built for stablecoin finance. “Arc is where the speed and openness of the internet meet the trust and reliability of regulated finance.”

Interesting trend of intermediaries stepping in to increase trust in DeFi, in this case rating intermediary. Guess the “code is law” trustless approach is just not enough to reach mainstream adoption.

I bet you know which one will have single slot cross-chain interop natively integrated and banking connectivity in virtually all jurisdictions.

These are the concerns that we directly address in Arc's design.

Worthwhile weekend read for RWA issuers, tokenized asset custody providers, and banks. The BIS/FSB/CPMI complex is an immovable object not easily swayed by local politics. The chain choice of RWA tokenization and tradfi usage is clear. @arc

Words.

Public L1 by public company. That's standard setting for transparency and governance @arc

Settlement finality is Arc's most underrated feature. Arc provides 100% certainty in <1 second. No more worrying if (pre)confirms gets reorg'd or chain gets forked into lite versions. This is why institutions can trust trillions in value on Arc.

*Mass adoption without the need for crypto literacy.

RT @onflowxyz: Happy to announce Onflow will be joining the architects on @arc. The L1 EVM by @circle using @USDC as its native asset. We'….

TLDR: Onchain AI Agents are a powerful new force. They reduce transaction costs and information asymmetry, paving the way for an autonomous and efficient economic fabric. Full slides here: 9/9

This is a new frontier with open research questions: agent-on-agent security, value alignment, the verifiability trilemma, and the oracle problem. Navigating the current regulatory and legal voids is another key challenge. 8/

This creates an "Autonomous Economic Fabric": a network of hyper-specialized, composable agents building radically efficient systems. The human role shifts to design, governance, and strategic oversight. 7/

Onchain AI agents can help achieve market completeness—a state of perfect risk transfer once only theoretical. By acting as automated analysts and market makers in prediction markets, they drastically lower the cost of creating contingent payoff securities for future events. 6/

Agents also tackle the "Market for Lemons" problem. Information asymmetry is solved via the blockchain's immutable history and the agent's ability to analyze vast data, reducing adverse selection. 5/

Agents drive search, bargain, & enforcement costs to near zero , weakening the rationale for traditional firms. 4/

The traditional Coase's theory of the firm is that firms exists to minimize transaction costs when markets are inefficient. 3/

What is an Onchain AI Agent? .It's an autonomous software entity using AI on a blockchain to execute decisions. The AI provides scalable intelligence to tackle cognitive scarcity, while the blockchain offers a trustless coordination layer to overcome relational scarcity. 2/

The economic principles that define the modern firm are being challenged by a new primitive: the Onchain AI Agent. Here are the core ideas from my recent talk at @BerkeleyRDI. Honored to have been invited by @dawnsongtweets. 1/
