BaraCat

BAT RAT CAT = $BRC

Circle’s Developer Grant program backs founders using USDC, Arc, and the Circle Developer Platform to solve real-world financial access problems. In the first 2026 cohort, 8 teams building on Arc are focused on challenges across Africa and the Global South, including payments, FX, remittances, merchant checkout, and stablecoin-native banking. Here’s who they are and what they’re building. @BlockradarHQ is the infrastructure layer many of these quietly depend on. One API that can handle wallets, AML screening, gasless transactions, and multichain liquidity so teams don't have to rebuild those components themselves. @kolan_xyz gives non-US individuals a real USD account backed by USDC. Freelancers and remote workers in 50+ countries across the Global South can receive, hold, and spend dollars. @myazahq is collapsing Africa's fragmented payment rails into one layer. Send money quickly across 21 African currencies, pay bills, hold a virtual USD card, and access business payouts. @ArrelTechnology built a plug-and-play USDC checkout for African merchants. Accept any CCTP-supported stablecoin via a payment link, auto-sweep to your treasury, and offramp to local currency. @payritHQ lets African users send and receive in their local currency while USDC handles settlement behind the scenes. No FX spread, no T+3 delays, just near-instant cross-border payments that work the way people expect them to. @ViFi_Labs is building the onchain FX exchange that emerging markets have been missing: a DEX designed specifically for stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps in NGN, BRL, and COP with near-zero slippage. @usesfxmoneyapp started with one corridor: African students in Turkey sending money home. It's now a full USDC neobank with dollar accounts, free international transfers, and a card product, built for the African diaspora. @flezpay tackles an important issue for the Global South. In volatile currency markets, static price tags go stale overnight. The team developed AI-powered QR codes that update prices in real time, with USDC and fiat accepted at the same counter. The full story of what these teams are building and what it tells us about where stablecoin adoption is actually happening is on the Arc blog: arc.io/blog/arc-as-a-…

@dej66881970 @UnitFlowFinance @btcmonie @arc @bobbilee @samconnerone Great post

Hey Unitflow team, Just wrapped testing on Arc Testnet and had to drop you guys some notes. As an architect, part of my job is jumping into what builders are shipping and giving honest feedback. So here we go. First off, the UI caught me immediately. You don’t see this level of polish on testnet often. It feels like something I’d actually use daily. What I tried: 1. Swap I ran USDC → EURC just to see how it feels. Blink and it’s done. Two seconds, maybe less. No weird slippage, no lag. That’s the bar. You cleared it. 2. Arcsuite This one surprised me. I literally forgot I had 20 USDC sitting on Ethereum Sepolia. Saw the option, figured “why not,” and bridged it over to Arc. The whole thing took about a minute and just worked. No docs, no head-scratching. That’s rare for bridges. Nice job. 3. Prediction Market Love the design here. Super clean and you can tell someone thought about first-time users. I hit one snag though. It kept showing 0 USDC in my wallet even though I had 5 USDC on Arc. So I couldn’t actually place a bet. I was using MetaMask wallet on mobile if that helps you track it down. Real talk you guys are building something solid. The swap and bridge experience already feels mainnet-ready. If you squash that prediction market bug, this is a product I’d tell people to try day one. I’m genuinely proud to see this coming out of the Arc ecosystem. You’re setting a high bar for testnet builds, rooting for you on mainnet.

I've been exploring Arc Mainnet recently and it's been interesting to see how quickly the ecosystem is growing getting started is simple add arc mainnet to metamask bridge assets from ethereum to arc swap tokens and explore the growing ecosystem one of the early meme communities on arc is @Brc_meme ($BRC) growing alongside the network Contract 0x11c87c506acf3ea0799f8717127fe55a184f8efd 🌐 baracat.meme If you're exploring the arc ecosystem baraCat is definitely one project worth checking out #Arc #BaraCat #BRC

Something is cooking... We've spotted a few test transactions moving USDC from Base to Arc. The bridge looks very close. We're watching every block, every second, and we'll let you know the moment it goes fully live. Or keep an eye on it yourself: baracat.meme/bridge Don't blink.

Do you like the graffiti I painted? What is this ? #arc #brc

@Real_TShelby @arc LOL

@Brc_meme @arc $CRC ?

$ARC $BRC And $...C

@Noxa_Fi is temporarily offline for upgrades. If you can't trade tokens on Noxa, you can use the BaraCat DEX instead. Simply import the token contract address of the asset you want to trade. baracat.meme/swap BaraCat interacts directly with Noxa's Uniswap router contract (on @arc mainnet ). We do not modify trades or add any additional fees.

@ZeoWeb3 Yep ! is USDC on Arc mainnet.

@Brc_meme ngl the follow+like+wallet comment grind is a lil much, but free usdc is free.

🐀🦇 FREE $BRC + $USDC. No catch. Just vibes. 💸 BaraCat shares his trading fees with the community — and YOU can grab a slice for doing basically nothing. 😼 Here's the mission, degen: ✅ Follow @Brc_meme ✅ Like + RT this post ✅ Drop your EVM wallet address in the comments 👇 That's it. The fat cat wakes up every 48H, scoops the fees, and flings $BRC + $USDC straight to wallets on ARC. 🎲💸🐾 👉 Track your rewards live: baracat.meme/reward $BRC #memecoin #Airdrop #ARC #Crypto

Everyone talks about new Layer 1s, but Arc Mainnet is taking a different approach. Instead of trying to do everything, Arc is built around stablecoins. USDC is the native gas token, transactions are fast, and the network is designed for payments, tokenized assets, and onchain markets while remaining EVM compatible. One of the earliest meme communities building on Arc is @Brc_meme A community-owned meme that proudly embraces its "cat + rat + bat + hat + fat" identity, while growing alongside the Arc ecosystem.
