Big News: ARC Testnet Is Here (For Developers Only!) 🌟
Hey everyone! I want to tell you about the new Arc Testnet, and how developers can join in. Let’s keep it super simple.
What is Arc?
Arc is a brand new Layer 1 blockchain made by Circle — the company behind the stablecoin USDC. blocmates.com+3Mitrade+3Circle+3
Here’s what makes it special:
-
On Arc, you pay transaction fees with USDC, not some weird coin that keeps changing value. Bitcoinist.com+2CryptoNinjas+2
-
It works like the Ethereum system (EVM-compatible), so lots of existing smart contracts can work easily. Crypto Briefing+1
-
It offers optional privacy, and fast finality so your transactions settle quickly. CryptoNinjas+1
What about the Testnet and Airdrop?
-
Right now the testnet is live only for developers, not for general users yet.
-
There’s no official word yet from Circle about an airdrop for either developers or the public.
-
But since developers are helping build and test things, they often get more weightage if a reward or airdrop does happen later.
How Developers Can Participate (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how a developer could get involved:
-
Get test tokens (faucet) – Use MetaMask (or other wallet), connect your wallet, claim test USDC tokens from the faucet.
-
Connect to Arc Testnet – In your wallet switch network to Arc’s testnet. If it’s not there, add the network manually.
-
Try simple transactions – For example: send a “Good Morning” message or simple token to any address (even your own) to check everything works.
-
Deploy a smart contract – Use the contract deployer: select token or NFT template. Example: Token name “ComfoCrypto” (symbol “CC”), supply 1,000,000. Or NFT: “ComfoCrypto NFT”, symbol “CCNFT”, supply 1000.
-
Mint a “Memory NFT” – Under the NFT section mint one. Confirm via MetaMask.
-
Deploy an NFT collection – Go to “OmniHub” (or similar) upload image (500×500, under 5 MB), set name like “Cat Meme”, price with test USDC, supply maybe 10,000 or unlimited. Confirm.
Final Notes & Tips
-
Do these tasks every 10–15 days if you like, to stay active.
-
Join the Circle Discord and Arc Discord. Stay active, claim roles, chat — this can help if there’s a reward later.
-
Even if there’s no airdrop, you’ll learn a lot, build experience, and be ready when the project opens to the public.
-
Remember: this is not financial advice. Only do what you’re comfortable with.
