Read full descriptionHide full description
Arc Wallet is a self-custodial USDC wallet built for the Arc network. Your keys never leave your device โ they are encrypted behind a passcode you choose, with optional Face ID for quick unlock. Create a new wallet with a recovery phrase or import one you already have, and manage multiple wallets in a single app when you need separate balances for work, savings, or everyday spending. Send and receive USDC on Arc in a few taps. Paste an address, scan a QR code, or pick a saved contact. Review the amount, network fee, and total before you sign, then confirm when you are ready. Fees are paid in USDC from the same balance โ no second token to hold for gas. Transfers on Arc settle quickly, and every payment appears in your activity feed with full on-chain details. Track what comes in and what goes out with a clear transaction history. Open any transfer in Arc Explorer to verify status, block, and hash in your browser. Receive USDC with your address or a QR code, and optionally request a specific amount when someone owes you. Arc Wallet is designed to be simple without hiding what matters. You stay in control of your recovery phrase, your passcode, and your funds. Switch between Arc Mainnet and Testnet from settings when you need to explore or test. Built for people who want a focused USDC wallet on Arc โ secure, transparent, and ready when you are.
