Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ArcaneFi, Arc Network, and the rewards system.
What token do I need to use ArcaneFi?
Only USDC. Arc uses USDC as its native gas token, so the same dollar-stable asset covers both transaction fees and NFT purchases. No separate volatile coin required. Get testnet USDC free from faucet.circle.com.
Who built Arc Network?
Circle — the company that created USDC. Circle describes Arc as the "Economic OS for the internet," designed for stablecoin finance, real-world asset tokenization, and institutional-grade settlements. The Arc Testnet launched October 2025. Notable backers include BlackRock, Visa, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, AWS, and Anthropic.
Are my NFTs safe if ArcaneFi goes offline?
Yes. NFT ownership is recorded on the Arc blockchain — not on ArcaneFi servers. If ArcaneFi became unavailable, your tokens remain in your wallet. SBT badges are similarly permanent on-chain.
Can I lose my SBT badges?
No — SBTs are non-transferable and cannot be sold, bought, or removed. The only exception is if your wallet is found in violation of the ArcaneFi Terms of Service, in which case the team can invoke revoke() on the contract.
Does spending XP reduce my rank tier?
No. Your rank tier is determined by lifetime XP — the all-time total you have ever earned, which never decreases. Spending current XP on streak recovery has no effect on your tier or leaderboard position.
Why is the NFT Gallery slow sometimes?
Arc Testnet does not yet have a public NFT indexer, so ArcaneFi scans all factory collection contracts directly via RPC to find your owned tokens. This is thorough but slower than a dedicated index. Pagination and lazy-loading are on the roadmap.
When is Arc Mainnet launching?
Circle has not confirmed a mainnet launch date. ArcaneFi is battle-testing on testnet so the platform is production-ready from day one of mainnet.
What wallets are supported?
Any EVM-compatible wallet — MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, or an embedded wallet created via Privy using email login. You will need to add Arc Testnet manually (see Wallet Setup).
How do mystery box USDC rewards work?
When you open a mystery box with a USDC reward, ArcaneFi's treasury wallet sends real USDC directly to your wallet via an on-chain transfer on Arc. It is not a platform credit — it is actual USDC, immediately usable for purchases or gas.
Can I create an NFT collection without knowing how to code?
Yes. ArcaneFi's collection creation UI handles everything — you fill in a form and confirm one transaction in your wallet. NFTFactoryV2 deploys your ERC-721 contract behind the scenes. No Solidity knowledge required.
