ArcBlock (ABT) is a Web3 development platform designed to simplify the creation of decentralized applications (DApps), custom blockchains, and digital identity systems. It offers an integrated stack of tools, including the Forge Framework, ABT Node, and Blocklets, allowing developers to launch interoperable, scalable services quickly. ArcBlock supports cross-chain connectivity through its Open Chain Access Protocol (OCAP) and is built around a high-performance blockchain called the ABT Network, capable of over 100,000 transactions per second. Its native utility token, ABT, is primarily an ERC-20 token used for transactions, service access, and reward mechanisms within the ecosystem. The total supply is fixed at 186 million tokens, with no inflationary mechanics.
ArcBlock is a Web3 development platform that offers tools and infrastructure for building decentralized applications (DApps), interoperable blockchains, and digital identity systems. It focuses on user-friendly deployment and high performance, with support for cross-chain connectivity and modular development via 'Blocklets'.
ABT is the native utility token of the ArcBlock platform. It’s used to pay for services, access network features, reward node operators, and handle on-chain transactions. It is also involved in identity verification and smart contract interactions across the ArcBlock ecosystem.
ABT is available on major exchanges including KuCoin, Huobi, BitMart, and Gate.io. Always verify the official contract address when purchasing ABT on decentralized exchanges.
While native ABT tokens can be stored in the official DID Wallet, ABT is also widely used as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. The ERC-20 version can be stored in any compatible wallet such as Bitcoin.com Wallet, MetaMask, Trust Wallet, SafePal, or a hardware wallet like Ledger.
ABT Node is ArcBlock's execution and deployment engine. It enables developers to run DApps, blockchains, and services using prebuilt or custom modules known as Blocklets. It also includes built-in support for decentralized identity (DID), secure access control, and one-click chain deployment.
Blocklets are modular, reusable, serverless microservices that run on ABT Node. They can encapsulate off-chain logic, smart contracts, identity flows, or API endpoints, and are installable from a marketplace to extend node functionality.
Yes. ArcBlock’s Open Chain Access Protocol (OCAP) allows DApps and services built with the platform to interact with multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, via standardized APIs.
ArcBlock is used by enterprise clients such as BlokSec for identity management, as well as independent developers building Web3 apps, NFT platforms, and IoT integrations requiring secure identity and blockchain backends.
