Arc mainnet

Circle’s Arc chain, id 5042. Gas is USDC, so the fee below is the token you would spend, not a dollar conversion. Value locked on the same chain is on Arc chain. Other coins on this chain are on Arc tokens. The chain as it moves is on Arc now. One address, with its recent transfers, is on Arc wallet. $ARCOP on this site is a different ledger.

About this desk

What you use it for
Use this to see Arc chain 5042 right now: how fast blocks are landing, what a transfer costs in USDC, and to look up an address, a transaction, or a block. Add the network to a wallet from the button when you want to use it. Other coins on the same chain are on Arc tokens.
What the numbers are
Height, gas price, blocks, and lookups come from Circle’s mainnet RPC on this request. A plain transfer is 21,000 gas times that price, in USDC. An address shows native USDC, which pays gas, and the ARC token balance on the published contract. A transaction shows status and the fee from the receipt.
What it leaves out
The button only asks the wallet to add the network. It does not send a transaction. The ARC supply is the contract’s totalSupply, not a price, and it is not $ARCOP. The USDC here is not the USDC balance in an Arcop account.

Every desk is introduced the same way on the desk list.

ARC token contract

The contract calls itself Arc (ARC) and reports a supply of 10,000,000,000. Decimals are 6. A supply is not a price, and this token is not $ARCOP.

How to read this

The fee
0.00042 USDC is 21,000 gas times the gas price this RPC returned, divided by 10^18. On Arc that unit is USDC. It is the fee for a plain transfer at this moment, not a quote from an exchange.
Two balances
An address has a native USDC balance, which pays gas, and a separate ARC token balance on the contract above. They are not the USDC or ARCOP balances in an account on this website.
The block gap
0.57 seconds is the newest of these eight blocks minus the oldest, divided by seven. Blocks can share a second, so the gap moves.
