One round at a time. A 3-day USDC raise in an escrow you can withdraw from until the close, an 80 / 15 / 5 split on-chain — and every contributor shares in what the round delivers.

What's next
Each round runs in its own escrow contract on Arc, opened by the round wallet. This card fills in once the round loads.
Projects
CirclePad runs one project at a time, so there's a single round to watch rather than a list to sift through. When a round is announced, it'll show up here and on Home.
Governance
Anyone holding $ARCIRCLE can vote on the project's identity. Every vote costs 1,000 $ARCIRCLE, sent to the dead address (0x…dEaD) — burned for good, so every vote shrinks the supply. Vote as many times as you like; votes can't be changed or taken back. Five things get decided this way:
- Coin name
- Ticker
- Logo
- Roadmap
- Launch date
Voting runs while the raise is open and closes with it. Anyone holding $ARCIRCLE can vote, as many times as they like.

Once a round is live, connecting your wallet here will show what you've contributed and your share of the raise so far.
Leaderboard
Ranks every contributor in the current raise by USDC committed, with each one's share of the total.
Airdrop
CirclePad airdrop — every wallet that contributes to Round #1 gets an airdrop of the new coin. The contributor list at the close is public on-chain, so anyone can check who was in and how much.
ArcPad synergy — existing ArcPad launch participants are planned to get an advantage when a CirclePad round opens.
Treasury
Round #1 splits the raise in one transaction at the close: 80% to the recipient wallet, 15% to the treasury wallet and 5% to the platform wallet. The wallets are fixed in the escrow contract.
The 15% goes to the top contributor — the wallet with the largest contribution at the close — over 3 days. The team sends it from the treasury wallet; the escrow contract itself only sends it to the treasury wallet.
The platform's 5% feeds $ARCIRCLE buybacks and promotion — the same loop, round after round.
How it works
Round #1 runs on a simple escrow contract on Arc. This is exactly what it does, and what happens after.
What happens next
The full CirclePad design (v2, not live yet)
None of this runs in Round #1 — it's the longer-term design, still in review.
The raise
A single project raises USDC for 3 days on Arc. Every bid is recorded with the bidder's address and amount — this is what determines the final payout split.
Leadership
Whoever bid the most becomes the project lead. The project's actual identity — coin name, ticker, logo, roadmap and launch date — is voted on by $ARCIRCLE holders: every vote burns 1,000 $ARCIRCLE.
Launch
When the raise ends, the pooled USDC splits three ways: 80% becomes real LP liquidity immediately (not a bonding curve that snipers can race from zero), 5% goes to the CirclePad platform, and 15% is reserved for the confirmed lead. Dexscreener listing and a 100x boost are paid for by the platform, not the lead.
The 12-hour checkpoint
The lead has 12 hours after the raise ends to publish the project's confirmed details plus an official X account and at least one more community channel (X Community, Telegram, or Discord — a website is optional but encouraged). Miss it, and leadership passes to the second-highest bidder, who gets the same 12 hours.
Getting paid
The confirmed lead's 15% doesn't land all at once. It vests 3% per day over 5 days. If the lead stops running the project, whatever hasn't vested yet returns to the original bidders, split proportionally to what they put in.
Economics
Round #1, as deployed: 80% recipient wallet / 15% treasury wallet / 5% platform wallet, paid directly at the close. The 15% goes to the top contributor over 3 days; every contributor gets an airdrop. The split below is the v2 design, not live yet.
The platform's 5%, plus CirclePad's own trading fees once projects are live, fund CirclePad's own buyback-and-burn and promotion — the same loop, project after project, rather than a one-off.
Holder benefits: participation in a project with real liquidity from block one (not a race against bots on an empty curve), plus a planned ArcPad synergy — details to come.
Safety design
v2 design, not live yet. Round #1 is the simple escrow in How it works: contributors can withdraw until the close, and the split is fixed in the contract.
This page is honest about what's still being worked out. Two things had to change before this was safe to build at all.
Problem: instant lump-sum payout
The original version paid 15% of the entire raise to the lead's wallet the moment the 12-hour checklist was met — an X account and one social channel. That's a low bar for a large, immediate payout: someone could self-fund a majority bid, clear the checklist in minutes, and walk away with most of their own contribution back plus a share of everyone else's.
Fix: the 15% vests 3% per day over 5 days instead of paying out immediately.
Problem: what happens if the lead vests some, then disappears?
Vesting alone doesn't fully close the gap — someone could still collect a few days' worth of tranches and stop. The remaining, unvested amount needs a defined, automatic path back to bidders rather than sitting stuck or depending on a human deciding "this looks abandoned."
Current proposal: the lead must check in on-chain periodically (roughly every 48 hours). Miss a check-in, and the project is automatically marked abandoned — no admin, no vote, no judgment call — and everything left unvested returns to the original bidders, split proportionally to what they put in.
What's still not built
The fund-pooling, auction, voting, vesting, and clawback logic described on this page is a brand-new smart contract — not a reuse of ArcPad's existing, already-deployed factory the way most of that side of the site works. Code that pools money from multiple people carries real risk if it has a bug. It is not going live with real funds without a real security review first.
FAQ
Is this live yet?
Round #1 is. The escrow and the burn-to-vote contract are deployed on Arc mainnet (see Contracts). The lead, vesting and clawback mechanism in Safety design is the v2 design and isn't live.
What do contributors get?
Every Round #1 contributor gets an airdrop of the new coin; its size and timing aren't decided yet. The top contributor at the close also receives the 15% share, over 3 days.
Who can vote?
Anyone holding $ARCIRCLE — contributing isn't required. Every vote burns 1,000 $ARCIRCLE, and votes can't be changed or taken back.
Can I get my USDC back?
Yes, any amount, any time until the 72 hours are up. After the close the escrow splits everything and there's nothing left to withdraw.
Why USDC and not $HOME or an ArcPad token?
USDC is Arc's own native gas token, so it's the natural first quote asset — no bridging, no extra approval step. Other quote assets may follow once the core mechanism is live and tested.
