Circle Developer Grants (Arc)
Get $5k-$100k in USDC to build on Arc, Circle's stablecoin L1.
Circle's Developer Grants program funds teams building on Arc, Circle's stablecoin-native Layer-1 where USDC is the gas token. Grants range from $5,000 to $100,000 in USDC, milestone-based, with technical guidance, co-marketing, mentorship and access to Circle Ventures. Focus areas: payments, treasuries, FX and the agentic economy. There are also live Arc hackathons (the Programmable Money hackathon, and an Agentic Commerce on Arc event backed by Google DeepMind with $40k in GCP credits). One of the cleanest ways to get paid in USDC for building real stablecoin products.
