Your money is
also your gas.
Sign in with email — no wallet, no seed phrase, no browser extension.
Everything on one chain
Four tools. Zero gas tokens.
On every other chain you need its native token before you can move a dollar. On Arc, the dollar is the token.
Swap
Trade USDC, EURC and any Arc token through Circle's routing. Quotes refresh live and every figure is shown before you sign.
Bridge
Move real USDC across chains with CCTP — burned on the source, minted on the destination. No wrapped IOUs, no third-party custody.
Launch a token
Deploy a fixed-supply ERC-20 on Arc in one transaction. No mint function, no admin keys — you hold 100% of supply from block one.
Send
Transfer USDC to any address in seconds. Gas costs a fraction of a cent and is paid in the same USDC you are sending.
Gas is USDC
Arc uses USDC as its native gas asset. Fund an account with dollars and it is immediately ready to transact — no bridging in a gas token first.
Non-custodial by construction
Charge holds no keys and no funds. Every transaction is signed in your own wallet — including the ones made from an email account.
From nothing to onchain
Three steps. No crypto knowledge required.
- 01
Sign in with email
Enter an email address and Privy provisions a secure account for you. No extension to install, no seed phrase to write down, no separate app.
- 02
Fund it with USDC
Send USDC to your address, or grab testnet funds from Circle's faucet. That same balance pays for gas — there is no second token to acquire.
- 03
Sign and go
Swap, bridge, send or launch a token. Every action is signed by your own account, and the exact amounts and fees are shown before you approve.
Questions
Straight answers
Do I need a crypto wallet to use Charge?
No. Signing in with email creates a secure account for you automatically. If you already have a wallet like MetaMask, you can connect that instead — both paths give you the same features.
What is Arc?
Arc is a Layer 1 blockchain built by Circle, the issuer of USDC. Its defining property is that USDC is the native gas token, so transaction fees are paid in dollars rather than a volatile asset you have to buy first.
Does Charge hold my funds?
Never. Charge is entirely non-custodial. It holds no private keys and cannot move your funds. Every transaction is signed by your own account, and you approve each one.
How does bridging work?
Charge uses Circle's CCTP. Your USDC is burned on the source chain and an equal amount is minted natively on the destination after Circle attests to the burn. You always end up with real USDC, never a wrapped derivative.
Can the tokens I launch be inflated later?
No. The contract has no mint function and no admin role. The full supply is created once at deployment and sent to you. Nobody, including Charge, can create more.
Is this real money?
Not right now. Charge runs on Arc Testnet, where tokens are free from Circle's faucet and hold no monetary value. It is for testing and exploration.
