Arc 101: The Platform Architecture Part1

🎬 Arc 101: The Platform Architecture Part1
Traditional cross-border payments move through multiple intermediaries, each with its own ledger and reconciliation process. Arc takes a different approach: a stablecoin-native blockchain built around a shared open ledger for value transfer and real-world economic activity.
In part 1 of this Arc 101 episode, we break down the platform architecture that processes every transaction on Arc and sets the foundation for understanding the USDC transaction lifecycle.

➤ Arc introduces a stablecoin-native blockchain architecture designed for efficient cross-border payments, utilizing a shared open ledger.
➤ The platform comprises an EVM-compatible execution layer (Wraith), a BFT consensus layer (Malachite) for instant finality, and middleware for inter-layer communication.
➤ This architecture aims to process transactions, including USDC transfers, in under a second, offering an alternative to traditional multi-intermediary payment systems.
