$ARCADE is a cheaper quote asset.
That is its entire mechanical function. No staking, no yield, no revenue share. Creators who pair against $ARCADE pay a 0.3% platform fee instead of 1.0% and earn 3× airdrop points, and at graduation that $ARCADE goes into a Uniswap pool whose LP tokens are burned.
Every $ARCADE-paired launch permanently removes $ARCADE from circulation into locked liquidity. Demand comes from people using the product, not from a yield promise.
It launches through Fair Start.
$ARCADE is token #1 on Arcade, launched through the exact mechanism every other creator uses — full sealed commit phase, Dutch premium on the curve, no team allocation sold into it, LP burned at graduation. The mechanism has to work on us before we ask anyone to trust it.
Supply
1,000,000,000 $ARCADETeam and treasury vest through the same escrow contract every Arcade creator uses.

Rewards conviction over flipping
Funding-graph clusters are collapsed to a single wallet's worth of points. We are publishing this before the program starts rather than reserving a vague right to disqualify people later.
$ARCADE is a utility token: a fee discount and a quote-asset choice. It carries no claim on revenue, no staking yield and no profit expectation. Terms are subject to change before TGE.
