Check it rather than believe it.
Some of what follows your browser reads off the chain while you look at it. The rest is us telling you something. This page keeps those two apart, because the difference is the whole point.
Two kinds of number.
Read from the chain
Fetched by your own browser when this page loads, from a public node. We do not type these in and we cannot change them. If our server were lying, these numbers would not be the lie.
Said by us
Plans, intentions and things not yet on a chain. Worth exactly what any company statement is worth. We mark them rather than mixing them in with the first kind.
Checked by your browser, not typed in by us.
Every number below was fetched from Avalanche by the browser you are reading this in. No ArcadeUnion server touched it.
Read more — how to check that
Every figure below was fetched from a public Avalanche RPC by the browser you are reading this in. No ArcadeUnion server sits in the path, and nothing here is cached by us — reload and it is read again. Each one links to a block explorer so you can confirm it independently.

What our chain is, and is not.
If you are about to connect a wallet to it, these are the things that matter.
- One computer runs it, and it is ours. That means we could stop it. It is not decentralised and we are not going to pretend it is.
- No contract on it has been security audited. Treat it as early software. We are in the process of getting quotes.
- ARCU on this chain is separate from the ARCU token on Avalanche C-Chain for now. There is no bridge between them yet, so sending one expecting the other does not work and cannot be undone.
- We make no promise about uptime, or that anything on it is worth money.
- Our test chain uses the same Chain ID. The RPC URL is the only thing that tells them apart, so check that rather than the number.
What you still have to trust us on.
Named rather than buried. If this list ever gets shorter, that is progress.
Who holds the keys
The treasury sits behind a 2-of-2 Safe and admin roles sit on hardware wallets. You can see the addresses and their balances. You cannot see who holds the signing devices.
How contribution is scored
Scoring runs on our machines. Results are published so they can be rebuilt and challenged — and a deliberately forged ranking has been caught that way in testing — but the counting itself is ours.
That we will do what we said
Published rules are a commitment, not a contract. Where something can be made enforceable in code rather than promised in prose, it should be, and over time more of it will be.
What will always be on show.
These are promises. They are in the second category, and we would rather say so.
Before anything launches
- Every wallet that matters is named before it receives anything
- Reward rules are published before the period they apply to
- Contract addresses go up as soon as they are deployed, verified
- Terms are published before any sale, not after
While it runs
- Supply, treasury and burns readable from the chain, not from us
- Concentration shown rather than hidden — including when it is unflattering
- What is live and what is not, kept current on this page
- When we get something wrong, it gets corrected here rather than quietly edited
Think a number here is wrong?
Tell us. Being corrected in public is the price of a page like this, and it is worth paying.
