Send USDC. Pay fees in USDC.
On Arc, the same balance covers your payment and its network fee. You don’t need to buy another coin before you can send.
BOOP × ARC
Pay people.
Keep it simple.
Pay a friend, split dinner or send money home. We’re moving Boop to Arc so USDC can cover both the payment and the network fee.
Same Booptags. Same payment links. One less coin to keep topped up.

WHY ARC
You have USDC.
You should be able to send it.
Having money in your wallet but needing another coin to pay a fee is confusing. Arc, Circle’s blockchain, lets you use USDC for both.
Read Arc’s mainnet announcement ↗See what it costs.
Network fees are priced in dollars. That makes the cost easier to check alongside the amount you’re sending.
Know when it’s paid.
Arc is designed to confirm transactions in under a second. Your wallet or payment provider can add processing time.

HOW IT WORKS
Circle. Arc.
StableFX. Boop.
Circle issues USDC. Arc moves it. Boop helps you choose who to pay and keep track of what’s settled.
- CircleThe company behind USDC, the dollar stablecoin used for payments and fees on Arc.
- ArcThe network that records payments and confirms when they’re complete.
- StableFXCircle’s service for exchanging USDC and EURC on Arc. It could let Boop add dollar and euro conversion later.
- BoopSend to a Booptag, share a payment link and see who has paid. Check the amount and approve it in your wallet.
StableFX requires Circle approval and is not connected to Boop yet. Read Circle’s documentation ↗
WHAT CHANGES
Fewer steps
before you can pay.
On Solana you need SOL for network fees, even when you’re sending USDC. On Arc, you can use the USDC you already have.
| When you want to | On Solana | Planned on Arc |
|---|---|---|
| Send USDC | Keep USDC for the payment and SOL for the network fee. | USDC covers the payment and network fee. |
| Pay a friend | Send to their Booptag in Boop. | Keep paying by Booptag. |
| Check the fee | The network fee is priced in SOL. | The network fee is priced in USDC. |
This compares paying your own network fees. Apps can also cover those fees for you on either network.
MONEY BETWEEN PEOPLE
Send money home.
Skip the crypto lesson.
Mum needs to know how much arrived. Dad wants to settle dinner. Grandma and grandpa want to check who they’re paying before they tap approve.
A name, an amount and a payment status should tell them what they need. Keeping fees in USDC gives us one less thing to explain.
COMING SOON
Boop on Arc
is still in progress.
Arc payments are not live in Boop yet. We’re working on the contract, wallet connection and payment screens.
Your existing balances won’t move automatically. We’ll publish the steps here when Arc support is ready.
