AI Rig Complex (ARC)

Tokenomics & Utility

ARC has a supply of roughly one billion tokens. The project’s published allocation divides that supply into three groups: 90% for the public launch and circulating distribution, 5.5% for an ARC prize pool and treasury, and 4.5% for the team. The open launch made tokens available through Pump.fun rather than an initial private sale. The prize allocation gives the project a pool from which to reward work in its community challenges.

What ARC is used for

The clearest described use of ARC is to reward participants in ARC Experiments, challenge rounds that test ideas for AI agents. Project disclosures also describe a refundable 500 ARC deposit for developers submitting a project to the Handshake registry. A deposit gives submissions a token-based step without making that amount a permanent fee when it is returned under the registry’s rules. (assets-cms.kraken.com)

The project has outlined further roles for the token, including payments and rewards in an agent-service marketplace associated with Ryzome. Its disclosures also describe ARC use in Arc Forge, a token-launch product. These plans explain how the team wants to connect software activity with the token over time. Holding ARC does not itself grant a vote over the project or a share of Playgrounds’ revenue or assets. (assets-cms.kraken.com)
