Privacy on Arc: What Builders Should Know

The Arc Privacy Whitepaper frames privacy as opt-in confidentiality for real-world financial workflows, not anonymity. The core message is confidentiality with oversight: giving applications a way to protect sensitive transaction data and private smart contract state when needed, while supporting governed visibility for authorized parties.

In this livestream, Circle will walk builders through the whitepaper and the design principles behind privacy on Arc. The discussion should cover why public-by-default transparency can limit use cases such as payroll, treasury operations, trading, lending, and swaps, how the Arc roadmap approaches confidential execution through ArcaneVM, and what developers should understand now while privacy functionality remains on the roadmap.

Arc’s privacy features reflect a proposed design that includes selective shielding of certain onchain data elements. The scope, functionality, and rollout timeline of the Arc privacy features are subject to change and may be modified, delayed, limited, or discontinued at any time in the sole discretion of Arc Network Services LLC.
