What is ArcDAO

ArcDAO is a token launchpad on Arc — Circle's USDC-native Layer 1. Anyone can deploy a token permissionlessly. $ADAO holders then curate which launches get featured and verified, and a fixed share of trading fees accrues to a DAO treasury that grants funding back to curated projects.

Design principles

• Permissionless by default — launching never requires approval, a whitelist, or a token allocation to ArcDAO.
• Curation as signal, not gatekeeping — holders vote on what gets featured and funded, and that signal is public and onchain.
• USDC-denominated everything — fees, treasury balances, and grants are all in USDC, so nothing depends on an emissions token.
• Non-custodial — tokens, liquidity, and treasury funds live in contracts. The interface is a thin client.

Who ArcDAO is for

• Builders who want a fast, honest launch on Arc with a path to non-dilutive funding.
• Holders who want to shape which projects get attention and treasury support.
• Traders looking for a filtered view of what is actually live on Arc mainnet.

The $ADAO token is live on Arc mainnet, and all market data on this site is real. Curation, treasury grants, and onchain governance are not open yet — the treasury holds $0 until fees start flowing.
