Atlan Launches App Framework with 21 Partners to Make Context Shareable Across AI-Native Enterprises

Atlan launches the Atlan App Framework, a developer infrastructure that enables partners, customers, and developers to create and deploy AI-native applications powered by trusted business context. The framework is built on the industry's first Iceberg-native Metadata Lakehouse and is backed by 21 inaugural technology partners. It allows developers to tap directly into Atlan's open, high-performance context store to build integrations, agents, and AI applications without managing complex infrastructure or governance. The App Framework is designed to accelerate the entire lifecycle of building AI-native apps and includes standardized APIs, secure runtime environments, developer tooling, UI extension points, and reusable components.

Circle, a leading blockchain company, has officially launched Arc, an open Layer-1 blockchain designed to deliver enterprise-grade infrastructure for stablecoin payments, foreign exchange, and capital markets applications. Arc is EVM-compatible and uses USDC as its native gas token, integrating a stablecoin FX engine and offering sub-second settlement finality. The network also includes optional privacy controls for enterprises requiring advanced compliance features [1].

Arc aims to provide high-speed, secure, and regulatory-friendly payment rails for global businesses, enabling stablecoin-powered transactions and cross-border settlements without relying on traditional financial intermediaries. The blockchain will be fully integrated with Circle’s existing platform and services, while remaining interoperable with dozens of other partner blockchains supported by Circle. This design aims to give institutions seamless access to both Arc and the broader digital asset ecosystem.

The public testnet for Arc is expected to go live later this fall, marking the first phase in its rollout before a full mainnet launch. This strategic move positions Arc as a significant player in the enterprise blockchain space, offering a robust and scalable solution for businesses seeking to leverage the benefits of blockchain technology [1].
