    "zh": "Circle 面向 USDC 的 layer-1 区块链 Arc 于 2026 年 9 月 16 日正式向公众开放，其公共测试网在 2025 年 10 月上线后不到一年处理了超过 7 亿笔交易。上线首日即有 100 多家机构与生态合作伙伴接入该网络，Circle 首席执行官 Jeremy Allaire 称其为“Circle 历史上自 USDC 以来最重要的一次发布”。\n\n这是主要稳定币发行方首次推出自己的底层结算网络，意味着 Circle 从单纯的代币发行方转向掌控其稳定币使用场景的基础设施。若机构在支付与结算中采用 Arc，部分稳定币交易流量可能从以太坊、Solana 等通用链转向为合规与机构需求量身打造的专业化通道。\n\nArc 以 USDC 作为原生 gas，并可通过 paymaster 系统接受其他稳定币支付手续费；其费用模型基于以太坊 EIP-1559 架构，但以网络需求的加权移动平均替代区块级别的调整机制，手续费归入链上的 Arc Treasury。共识层采用 Malachite——一个基于 Tendermint 的拜占庭容错引擎，验证者集合为许可制、运行在权威证明（proof of authority）之上，Circle 表示可能在 2027 年过渡到权益证明；2026 年 9 月 USDC 流通量约为 740 亿美元。",
