One question

What does ARC bring together?

Agentic Realm Computer hosts AFS and AOS for applications.

ARC stands for Agentic Realm Computer. It provides a runtime for Blocklets, connecting AFS resource access, AOS operating semantics and platform adapters.

Developers describe an application and its resource needs. The runtime starts and connects them in a target environment. In the implementation, ArcHost receives an AFS instance and platform adapters and uses shared request handlers.

ARC is neither a particular chat model nor a blockchain. Running an application on a chosen platform still depends on that platform’s capabilities, dependencies and deployment support. Sharing protocols does not establish universal application compatibility.

Are ARC and ArcBlock Chain the same thing?

No. One hosts application execution; the other records and validates on-chain state.
