- In this Release Notes episode, we cover Circle Forwarding Service for Gateway and how it simplifies crosschain USDC transfers. Developers can use it to: → Move USDC crosschain without managing destination chain gas fees → Reduce multichain infrastructure overhead → Automate
00:00 - The debate about whether open payments infrastructure could compete with closed networks is over. @ddisparte on what settled it, and what comes next for stablecoins.
00:00 - Payroll is still shaped by banking windows and fixed cycles. @Zebec_HQ has made the most of USDC and EURC to build a multichain payroll and payments platform that supports real-time payroll streaming, cross-border payouts, and card-based spending. That has helped Zebec scale
- Circle is heading to AI Engineer World’s Fair in San Francisco on June 29th - July 2nd. As APIs and services move toward usage-based, agentic, and machine-to-machine workflows, they need payment infrastructure built for real-time settlement and programmable commerce. At booth
- Blockchains are operating systems with a key difference: tamper resistant code, perfectly auditable inputs and outputs, and provable machine state. @jerallaire explains that as AI drives more economic activity, those assurances become even more critical.

Today we published the detailed design for Arc’s upcoming privacy infrastructure. It is a major step forward in building the Internet financial system in a way that works for people, households, major, corporations, and financial institutions. We’re excited to share this with - Existing blockchains face a massive coordination problem migrating to post-quantum cryptography. @jerallaire says Arc is being built with post-quantum signatures from day one.

Circle CCTP is live on @StellarOrg, and Allbridge integrated this infrastructure to make your cross-chain transfers even smoother. You can now move native USDC between Stellar and other supported blockchains directly through Allbridge Next using @circle CCTP canonical

Frontier models can write smart contracts that work. Whether they survive security edge cases is the harder question. We put this to the test by collaborating with @circle to develop ChainBench, a benchmark for agent-driven crosschain smart contract generation.Introducing ChainBench, built in collaboration with @OpenZeppelin. ChainBench is an LLM benchmark for crosschain smart contract generation, testing how model-agent systems write functional and secure contracts across languages, difficulty levels, and development harnesses. Key - Circle Alliance Program member @BlockRunAI is bringing USDC payments to agentic AI workflows. With x402 discovery and payment settlement, BlockRun enables agents to discover services, access AI models, and pay per request using wallet-authenticated USDC payments. Explore CAP:
