XAR Arcana Network

What is Arcana Network?

Arcana Network is a leading Chain Abstraction Protocol powered by a modular Layer 1.
Arcana’s Chain Abstraction eliminates asset fragmentation and the friction of bridging between chains.
It offers users a Unified Balance of their USDC, USDT, and ETH balances across chains, allowing them to spend their entire balance on any chain instantly, without bridging—a seamless, bridgeless, and near-instant experience.

Web3 ecosystem has exploded with 100s of L1s, L2s, rollups, sidechains, and appchains, adding immense friction for users trying new chains, while chains struggle to attract and retain users and maintain TVL. Arcana solves this by providing unified balances, auto-funding gas fees with stablecoins, and near-instant multi-chain transactions.

In addition to these, $XAR’s Chain Abstraction Protocol does three things extremely well compared to other protocols:

- EOA Wallet-Based Orchestration: Users can bring existing wallet addresses without locking funds or depositing into new accounts—maintaining full self-custody of assets.
- Gas Efficiency: Upto 5X lower gas fees compared to smart contract-based chain abstraction protocols
- Universal Addresses: Arcana does not create app-specific wallets that require users to deposit tokens. So users assets remain in a single wallet, accessible across apps —even on apps that do not support chain abstraction.

The Chain Abstraction protocol is live on Testnet, with a Mainnet release planned for Q1 2025. Users can experience Chain Abstraction through Arcana Wallet, a Chrome extension launched in Oct 2024, or via the SDK integrated by app developers.
