Overview
How the launch → curate → fund loop works
The three-step ArcDAO loop: permissionless launches generate fees, holders curate, and the treasury funds curated projects.
ArcDAO runs a single loop. Each pass makes the next one stronger: more launches produce more fees, a larger treasury funds more projects, and better-funded projects attract more launches.
1. Launch
A creator deploys a token through the launchpad. Liquidity is paired against USDC and a fixed share of every trade is routed to the DAO treasury. No emissions are minted and no team allocation is taken.
2. Curate
Every submitted launch opens a 48-hour vote. $ADAO holders stake voting weight for or against featuring it. A launch that clears both the quorum and support thresholds is marked Curated and enters the grant queue.
3. Fund
Each treasury epoch, curated projects submit a scope and a USDC amount. Holders vote for or against the proposal, and approved grants are released against milestones through the treasury contract.
