About
Arc Earn Vault is the USDC vault in early access on Arc Portal, curated by Gauntlet. Arc is Circle's Layer 1 (settlement network already live on mainnet, gas in USDC). The vault is designed to put USDC to work with on-chain yield and possible rewards. At launch it provides liquidity to the Morpho cirBTC / USDC market; later, once it is live, also to radYC / USDC (collateralized by tokenized securities, treasury bills). Official page: Click here.
The early-access waitlist is open (official announcement on October 29, 2026). Signing up is free. A USDC deposit will be possible when the vault launches (in the form you only indicate the intended amount). Circle does not promise or guarantee rewards: Gauntlet has announced its intention to offer some in connection with this vault. No ARC token has been announced on official channels (on Arc, gas is USDC): any airdrop of a network token is speculative.
