Why Arc
Puls runs on Arc Testnet — a chain purpose-built for stablecoin-native applications. The key property: USDC is the native gas token. There is no separate volatile gas asset to acquire and manage. For a consumer prediction market, that means one unit of account for everything — your balance, your stake, your fees, and the gas (which Puls sponsors anyway).Network details
