Chronicle Joins Arc as Oracle Infrastructure Partner
/ 3 min read
When a blockchain is built specifically for stablecoin-native finance, the oracle infrastructure has to match the ambition. Chronicle does. As one of Arc's oracle partners, Chronicle provides the data feeds that let assets on Arc be supported across the DeFi ecosystem, giving risk curators, builders, and institutions a verified data layer for onchain markets.
Live feeds today include CIRBTC/EUR, CIRBTC/USDC, and EURC/USD, with more assets upcoming. The full list is on the Chronicle Dashboard.
Introducing Arc
Arc is a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain for stablecoin-native financial applications, launched by Circle, the issuer of USDC. With stablecoins as gas, starting with USDC, and full EVM compatibility, Arc is designed from the ground up for payments, lending, FX, treasury management, and agentic commerce at scale. Where most chains treat stablecoins as one asset class among many, Arc treats them as the operating layer. That changes what's possible for the financial products built on top.
Chronicle as Oracle Infrastructure for Arc
For a chain built around stablecoin-native finance, the oracle layer determines whether prices are trustworthy enough for institutions, risk curators, and liquidity providers to operate on. Chronicle is the longest-running oracle on Ethereum, with over eight years of continuous uptime.
Beyond feed reliability, Chronicle brings Proof of Asset: a continuous data verification framework with cryptographic proof, that makes tokenized assets legible: what's held, where it's held, and whether it matches what's being represented onchain. For the institutional and fintech builders Arc is designed to serve, Proof of Asset is a key piece of infrastructure.
What This Means for Builders on Arc
For risk curators and ecosystem builders on Arc, Chronicle's integration establishes a verified data foundation that scales with the chain's ambition. Arc was built from the ground up to support stablecoins, tokenized assets, and onchain markets. Chronicle's feeds are built to meet that standard, where accurate, continuously verified data is the prerequisite for everything else.
"Arc represents exactly the kind of infrastructure Chronicle was designed for. A chain where stablecoins are the operating layer demands a data layer that can verify not just prices but the assets behind them. That's what we're here to provide." — Niklas Kunkel, Founder Chronicle
