The Arc BoardThe rules.
Short, in plain language. By paying into a listing you agree to them.
What this is
The Arc Board is paid placement. Projects building on Arc — tokens, NFT collections, launchpads, tools, anything — pay to appear, and the board ranks them by how much was paid. That is the only thing rank means. It is advertising, run by @ARCNewsHQ.
A listing is not an endorsement. It says nothing about a project's quality, safety, team, or future. Nothing here is financial advice. Verify every contract yourself.
How ranking works
- Rank is lifetime USDC paid into a listing, in whole dollars, highest first.
- On a tie, whoever reached that amount first stays above.
- Anyone can pay into any listing — the team, its holders, anyone who wants it higher. All payments count the same.
- Listings marked Sponsored were placed by the board itself. No payment was made for them. They can be passed exactly like any other position.
Payments
- Only USDC on Arc (chain 5042). Anything sent on another network, or any other token, cannot be recovered.
- Whole dollars only. Rank counts complete dollars; $1.50 counts as $1 until the rest arrives.
- Each listing has its own deposit address. Payments to it always count, whenever they arrive.
All payments are final. There are no refunds, for any reason — including for a listing that is later removed under the rules below.
Removal
A listing goes live the moment its first payment lands and is reviewed afterwards. We reserve the right to remove any listing, at any time, at our sole discretion and without a refund. We will always remove listings that:
- impersonate another project, person, company or token — including using a ticker or name that belongs to something else;
- link to a wallet drainer, phishing page, malware, or a contract that is not what the listing says it is;
- make claims that are false or designed to mislead — guaranteed returns, fake partnerships, fake endorsements;
- contain illegal content, or content we consider abusive, hateful, or harmful;
- or that we otherwise judge to be a scam or bad for the people who read this board.
We may also remove a logo, edit a link, or hide a listing while we look into it. We do not have to explain a removal, and a removed listing does not get its money back.
What you give us
A project name, a link, optionally an X handle, a logo and a token contract. We store those, the deposit address we generated for the listing, and the IP address a submission came from (to limit abuse). Logos are re-encoded before they are stored. We do not collect anything else, and there are no accounts.
The contract
Payments are received by addresses derived from a vault contract on Arc and forwarded to the board's treasury. The contract is not audited. The board is provided as is; we are not liable for losses arising from using it, from Arc, or from any project listed here.
Changes
We can change these rules. The version on this page is the one that applies. Questions: @ARCNewsHQ.
