Stablecoins are the fastest-growing sector in crypto. Arc is where you build with them.
In this bootcamp you'll learn all about stablecoins and Arc, the stablecoin-native Layer-1 blockchain.
Why Arc
Most blockchains treat stablecoins as just another token. Arc treats them as the foundation.
- USDC is the gas token → no volatile fees, no pricing uncertainty
- Sub-second settlement → real-time financial applications
- Built-in crosschain transfers (CCTP/Gateway) → move money across chains natively
- Integrated FX (StableFX) → convert between currencies onchain
- Full developer stack included → wallets, contracts, payments, messaging
Instead of stitching together multiple protocols, you build directly on a chain designed for money movement.
What you'll learn
- How to design applications around programmable money flows
- How to use CCTP + Gateway for crosschain payment orchestration
- How to integrate StableFX for multi-currency settlement
- How to build production-ready financial apps using Circle’s stack
By the end of the bootcamp, you’ll have built:
- A crosschain payment flow using CCTP
- A stablecoin-powered smart contract using Circle Contracts
- A wallet-enabled app using Circle Wallets
- A multi-currency payment or treasury flow using StableFX
Who this is for
Developers who want to understand stablecoins and start building with them. The course is fully async.
