Maestro Supports Arc Chain: Live on Day One
Maestro was the first Telegram trading bot to support Arc, Circle's new Layer 1, shipped ahead of the chain opening up. Here's what Arc is, what Maestro supports, and how to start trading the chain from day one.
Arc is one of the most watched launches in crypto right now, and Maestro's support for it has been built, tested and in traders' hands for weeks. Official mainnet going live is the last piece, and today it's here.
What is Arc chain?
Arc is Circle's own Layer 1, purpose-built for finance using stablecoins, including payments, settlement and FX, while remaining fully compatible with the EVM. USDC is native to the chain, providing a dollar-denominated asset for gas and settlement from the start.
Gas is paid in USDC, making network costs easier to understand in dollar terms before submitting a transaction. Fees are designed to remain stable and predictable, although they can still change with network conditions.
The chain spent months in public testnet with more than 100 launch and design participants, including BlackRock and Visa, on it, and today mainnet is live.
How to prepare for the Arc chain launch
The opening hours of a new chain are the ones worth being ready for. The tokens that define those first weeks tend to show up before most traders have their tooling sorted, and the ones who are set up early get first look.
Arc is already available in Maestro. Trigger /chain, select Arc, then generate or import the wallet you'll be trading from.
Swaps and Token Reports were fully operational ahead of the official mainnet, and today bi-directional bridging and full trading support went live the moment the chain opened.
What Maestro supports on Arc
Maestro supports the full trading suite on Arc day one, starting with three key tools: quick buys and sells, limit orders and copy trading.
Quick buys and sells. Paste a contract, set an amount, confirm. The order fills at the best price available.
Limit orders. Set your price and step away. Maestro executes when the market reaches your number, whether or not you're watching.
Copy trading. Point Maestro at any wallet and that wallet's trades become yours as they happen.
Trade every venue that matters on Arc: Uniswap v2/v3/v4, DYORSwap, DYORv3, DYORPump, Long, Circlewarp, Tolly, Pools.Trade and more. As new DEXes and launchpads go live, Maestro adds them fast, so you are never waiting to trade where the volume is.
How to bridge to Arc
Maestro was the first Telegram bot to support Arc bridging, and through the run-up to mainnet it was the only platform that offered uninterrupted access to the chain. That same reliability is what you get today, with bridging into Arc reopened.
Get funds where you need them. Send /bridge and move money in and out from supported chains right inside the bot you trade from. Bridging becomes part of the trade instead of an errand before one.
