Initializing the Network
Arc Light Labs is building the infrastructure layer for the next generation of decentralized applications — blazing fast, infinitely scalable, and radically open.
RPC, indexer, bridge, and observability — one coherent platform so your team ships instead of wiring infra.
From DeFi to gaming to consumer apps — Arc Light gives every category the infrastructure it deserves.
Arc Light is your enterprise-grade infrastructure for global finance. See how sub-50ms finality, world-class tooling, and Ethereum-grade security can drive impact for your protocol.
Learn about Arc DeFiBuilding a consumer app that millions will love requires a network that feels invisible. Arc Light provides near-instant speed, micro-cent costs, and the scale to make your onchain experience feel like the best Web2 apps.
Learn about Arc ConsumerArc Light enables you to create the games you've always dreamed of — with near-instant transaction speeds, seamless asset ownership, and a frictionless experience your players will never want to leave.
Learn about Arc GamingEverything you need to ship production-grade applications on the fastest infrastructure layer in existence.
Arc Light isn't just fast software on the same old architecture. We rebuilt the stack from scratch.
Our novel BFT variant with pipelined execution — 2/3 stake for finality, zero forks, sub-second confirmation guaranteed.
Concurrent transaction execution with optimistic conflict resolution. Up to 16x throughput vs. sequential EVM implementations.
State commitments posted with ZK validity proofs, giving cryptographic guarantees without running a full node.
Execution shards spin up automatically under load, then consolidate during quiet periods — you pay for exactly what you use.
Blocks confirming, transactions settling, validators online — right now, on Arc Light mainnet.
$ARC secures the protocol via staking, pays for execution, and grants governance rights to the people building on Arc Light.
Arc Light Labs was founded to solve the fundamental trilemma of distributed systems: speed, security, and decentralization. We've built a platform where you don't have to choose.
Our proprietary Arc consensus mechanism achieves sub-100ms finality across a globally distributed validator network — enabling a new class of real-time applications that simply weren't possible before.
A look at where we've been, what we're shipping now, and where we're headed next.
We migrated our entire DEX from Ethereum to Arc Light in a weekend. Throughput is up 40x and our users are actually using limit orders again because they're free.
Finality in 50ms means our onchain game finally feels like a Web2 game. Players don't even know they're using a blockchain — and that's exactly the point.
The dev tooling is genuinely the best I've ever used in crypto. Local devnet boots in 2 seconds. The CLI is a joy. Everything just works.
$0.0001 per transaction unlocks entire categories of products that were previously economically impossible. We launched a streaming-payments app on Arc Light and we couldn't have done it anywhere else.
Their security team caught two issues during our audit prep that would've cost us millions. The Arc Light core team treats partners like an extension of their own.
EVM-compatibility meant zero rewrites. We deployed our existing Solidity contracts and were live on Arc Light mainnet inside 4 hours. Genuinely unreal.
