SafePal has added support for the Arc Testnet, giving users a direct way to explore the network through SafePal Wallet and interact with its early ecosystem. In a tweet, SafePal said the Arc Testnet is now live on its platform. Users can try testnet dApps, claim exclusive testnet tokens, and prepare for future support of Arc mainnet assets inside SafePal Suite.
The move comes as Arc presents itself as financial infrastructure for the internet, built around stablecoins, tokenized assets, and global interoperability. Early testnet activity already spans the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Arc describes the network as an “Economic OS” for the internet. It is designed to connect local markets to the global economy and support companies and developers building on enterprise-grade infrastructure, rather than serve only a small group of blockchain users.
Arc is designed to support stablecoin issuers and tokenized financial assets. The network is being built as a foundation for fiat stablecoins, tokenized equities, credit products, money market funds, and other onchain financial instruments.
One key roadmap feature is the use of stablecoins as gas tokens. This could make transaction costs more predictable and tie them more closely to the assets already used on the network. Arc is also expected to add native infrastructure for stablecoin swaps and foreign exchange liquidity, supporting payments, treasury management, and cross-border settlement.
Global Stablecoin Network
The testnet is already drawing support from currency issuers across several regions. The issuers joining Arc Testnet include AUDF issued by Forte AUD, BRLA issued by Avenia, JPYC issued by JPYC Inc., KRW1 issued by BDACS, MXNB issued by Juno, which is a Bitso company, and PHPC issued by Coins.PH, and QCAD issued by Stablecorp.
Circle is also working with other stablecoin issuers and stakeholders, including those behind dollar-, euro-, and other fiat-backed stablecoins. The work is focused on expanding the network’s asset support and liquidity framework.
Developer adoption is another major part of the Arc project. The testnet is positioned as a day-one environment for builders, with an extensive list of ecosystem participants already involved.
On the AI side, Anthropic is contributing Claude Code-powered builder tools to improve the developer experience. Wallet providers, including Bron, Exodus, Fireblocks, Hecto Innovation, Ledger, MetaMask, Privy, Rainbow, Turnkey, and Vultisig, are connecting Arc to desktop and mobile workflows.
Developer tooling is also coming from Alchemy, Chainlink, Crossmint, Dynamic, Fun.xyz, LayerZero, Pimlico, thirdweb, and ZeroDev. Across, Stargate, and Wormhole are supporting cross-chain access.
Infrastructure providers are also supporting the testnet. Blockdaemon, Blockscout, Bridge, Elliptic, Quicknode, Ramp Network, Tenderly, Transak, and TRM are helping make Arc more accessible, performant, compliant, and reliable.
This technical support reflects Arc’s focus on financial applications that require stability, liquidity, and institutional-grade tooling from the beginning. The network is not being launched only as another general-purpose blockchain.
The network’s digital asset market is also broad. Decentralized exchanges and liquidity protocols such as Curve, Dromos Labs, Euler Finance, Fluid, and Uniswap Labs are participating in the Arc ecosystem.
Centralized exchanges, including Bitvavo, ByBit, Coinbase, Coincheck, Hashkey, Kraken, and Robinhood, are also involved, widening access to the network. Market makers and OTC desks such as Auros, B2C2, Cumberland, Galaxy Digital, GSR, IMC, Forte Securities, Keyrock, NONCO, Wintermute, and Zodia Markets are helping support liquidity.
Borrow-and-lend platforms such as Aave, Maple, and Morpho are expected to bring credit and capital efficiency to the ecosystem. Yield and tokenized fund participants, including Centrifuge, Superform, Securitize, WTGXX, and CRDT by WisdomTree, are adding further financial utility.
They are joined by custodians such as BitGo, Copper, Taurus, and Zodia Custody.
Arc is also being connected to payments and fintech use cases. Its architecture is intended for people and businesses, as well as agentic AI systems that may send, exchange, and settle value in real time across borders.
Companies engaging with the project include Amazon Web Services, Brex, Catena Labs, Careem, Cloudflare, Corpay, dLocal, Dmall, Ebanx, FIS, Hecto Financial, LianLian Global, Mastercard, Mercoin, Nuvei, Noah, Pairpoint by Vodafone, Paysafe, PhotonPay, Ramp, Sasai Fintech, Sumitomo Corporation, Visa, WorldPay, and Yellow Card.
Arc’s public testnet is still experimental. It is intended to pressure test performance, strengthen security, and validate integrations before any real money moves on mainnet.
For now, SafePal’s announcement gives users another way to access the developing ecosystem. With Arc testnet support now live and mainnet asset support said to be coming next, the wallet provider is signaling that it wants to participate in the network’s growth from the earliest stage.
