Partner Spotlights

Most B2B payment systems settle obligations one at a time, gross. A pays B, B pays C, C pays A, and each leg moves in full even when much of it cancels out. That ties up capital and multiplies the number of settlement events for the same underlying economic activity.

Cycles takes a different approach. It maps payment obligations across a network of counterparties, nets them down to the minimum required transfers, and settles only the residual. By making Arc its home chain, Cycles settles those residuals in USDC on Arc.

 Arc is built for real economic activity: payments, treasury, and settlement. Cycles sits squarely on that axis. Where exchanges and lending venues build liquidity and credit markets, Cycles introduces a settlement primitive Arc didn't previously have a flag-bearer for: multilateral clearing and obligation netting. It points at a category Arc is well-suited to anchor, trade credit and clearing settled in stablecoins.

, a B2B stablecoin clearing app for invoices, payroll, and supplier payments. A product focused on institutional use, 

, brings the same netting model to trading firms and other institutional counterparties over time.

Cycles is led by Ethan Buchman, co-founder of Cosmos. The decision to build settlement on Arc reflects what Arc is designed for: a stablecoin-native chain where USDC is the settlement asset and finality is fast and predictable, the properties a clearing network needs.
