The internet does not close. Markets, applications, and users transact around the clock, across time zones, without pause. An economic operating system built for that reality needs price data that operates on the same principle: never stop moving. That is the premise behind Stork's integration with Arc, live from day one.
Arc is a Layer-1 blockchain, its development led by Circle, purpose-built as the Economic OS for the internet. Rather than treating stablecoins as one asset among many, Arc puts them at the center of the network. USDC serves as native gas, with local fiat stablecoins, tokenized assets, programmable Bitcoin, and a growing set of onchain applications all connected within the same ecosystem.
Finality is deterministic and sub-second, so builders can price transactions and settlement time with the same certainty they would expect from traditional financial infrastructure. From launch, Arc supports live markets across lending, borrowing, trading, onchain FX, payments, and tokenized assets, secured by a geo-diverse, known institutional validator set.
That combination, dollar-denominated fees, instant finality, and real markets running from day one, only works if the price data underneath it is dependable. Stork provides that layer. The Stork oracle has run with best-in-class uptime for more than four years and has secured over $4.5 trillion in volume across the protocols it serves, spanning perpetual futures DEXs, lending markets, and RWA platforms.
Stork's relationship with Arc did not start at mainnet. When ETHGlobal hosted HackMoney on the Arc testnet, participating teams built with Stork's oracle feeds as shared infrastructure, from institutional-grade FX platforms to autonomous agents trading creator tokens. That early availability let teams stress-test real financial applications against live price data well before launch, and it is the same infrastructure now supporting Arc's mainnet ecosystem.
"Stork has a history of supporting protocols in the early phases of growth, ensuring teams can build applications that integrate and connect to onchain finance everywhere,” said Meredith Pitkoff, CEO and founder of Stork Labs. "Arc is bringing stablecoins, tokenized assets, and onchain applications into one connected system, and we’re excited to be supporting this platform from Day 1."
Arc is assembling the pieces of an internet-native financial system: stablecoins as gas, predictable fees, fast finality, and real markets at launch. Stork is providing the price data those markets need to function, tested from the earliest hackathons and now live alongside Arc's mainnet.
Build with Stork and Arc.
