Sniping the first block
just means overpaying.
Arcade is a fair launchpad for Arc. Launches open with a sealed commit phase where nobody can be early, then a curve where being early costs double. We don't detect bundlers — we make bundling worthless.
Four phases. Every parameter immutable at deploy.
Sealed commit
Buyers deposit USDC. No price is quoted, no tokens are issued, no allocation is assigned. Then everyone clears at one uniform price.
Landing in block 0 and landing in block 624 give identical outcomes. A bot with a 10ms edge gains nothing.
Guarded curve
The curve opens with a Dutch premium. The first buyer pays 2× the curve price, decaying to 0% over the window.
The premium goes to the liquidity reserve — not to the creator. Winning the race means overpaying into the pool.
Open curve
No premium, no caps, no tax. A standard bonding curve running to the graduation target, denominated in real dollars.
Because USDC is Arc's gas token, every number on the page is an actual dollar figure.
Graduation
Liquidity deploys to Uniswap on Arc and the LP tokens are burned. Not locked, not timelocked, not held by a multisig.
There is no admin key that can retrieve them, because there is no admin key.

Every Arcade token carries a report: supply held by the deployer's funding cluster, supply taken in the first minute, top-10 concentration, whether the commit phase was used, and the creator's lock schedule.
The score never renders without its inputs, and a bad score is as prominent as a good one. It's served over a public API so other explorers and bots can surface it too — the metric spreading past our own site is the point.
The chain makes the mechanism possible.
These aren't marketing points. Each one changed how the contracts are written, and none of them are available on Solana or Base.
USDC is the gas token
Prices, market caps and raise targets are actual dollars. “Graduates at $100,000,” not “85 SOL.” Insert coin, literally.
Sub-second deterministic finality
No reorgs, ~0.48s blocks. A two-phase commit-and-clear auction is safe with tight timing — impractical on probabilistic-finality chains.
Every wallet must hold USDC
Sybil wallets cost real dollars to fund and leave a traceable graph in one asset on one chain. That graph is what powers the report.
No on-chain randomness
PREVRANDAO returns 0 on Arc, so every fairness mechanism we ship is deterministic. It's why we use a uniform-price auction, not random ordering.
