Fee redistribution · Arc · USDC
ARCBALL
It always comes back.
Every trade fee on Arc flows into the ball. When it is full, an agent rolls it — and the USDC rains down on the people holding.

Four moves, on a loop.
Fees collect, the balance works while it waits, an agent picks the moment, and holders pull what they are owed. Then it starts again.
- 01
Collect
Every trade pays its fee in USDC.
Arc settles gas in USDC, so fees arrive as dollars rather than as a token that has to be sold first. Each fee routes straight into the ball.
- 02
Grow
The ball fills, and the idle balance works.
While it waits, the balance sits in tokenized T-bills. The ball grows from fees and from yield at the same time.
- 03
Roll
An agent decides when to let go.
There is no fixed schedule. The agent weighs volume, volatility, gas and holder count, then strikes the ball when a roll pays out best.
- 04
Claim
Holders pull their share.
A roll credits every holder through a reward-per-share accumulator. You claim whenever you want — nothing expires, and nothing is pushed to you.
It does not roll on a timer.
An agent watches the ball and the market around it. Volume, volatility, gas, holder count, and how fast fees are still arriving. Rolling early wastes a filling ball; rolling into a gas spike burns the payout. So it waits until a roll is worth the most, and then takes the shot.

Time in, not size in.
Your share of a roll is your balance multiplied by how long you have held it. The curve is steep early and flattens out, so patience is rewarded without letting the earliest wallets own the thing forever.
Selling resets the multiplier to 1.00. Not partially — entirely. Moving tokens between your own wallets resets it too, because the contract cannot tell the difference and will not pretend to.
Multiplier2.03×
Dollars, not more of the token.
Arc settles gas in USDC, so fees arrive as dollars in the first place. There is nothing to swap, nothing to sell into your own holders, and no emission schedule quietly diluting the people it claims to reward.
A roll pays USDC. That is the entire mechanism. If fees stop, the payouts stop — the protocol has no way to print its way around a quiet month, and it is built not to want one.

- Yield
- 4.18%
Idle USDC is parked in short-dated tokenized treasuries between rolls. The yield accrues to the ball, not to a treasury.

The loop
Hit it. Wait. Get paid.
Fees go in, the ball fills, the agent picks its moment, and the USDC lands back with the people holding. Then the ball comes back empty and it starts again.
