$ARCA
What the token gates, what it does not, and the state it is in today.
Two tokens, not one
These are different and are deliberately configured from different variables:
TokenWhat it is forAddress
Payment tokenWhat a buyer sends a creator for a listing. It exists on chain today and payments are verified against it.0x5fc5360d…
$ARCAWhat a creator must HOLD to create, compete, evolve, or enter a premium arena. It is a balance check, not a transfer.0xc00c26b0…
One variable for both is how they get swapped by accident. A day comes when somebody sets it for one purpose and silently changes the other. They are read from two separate settings so that cannot happen quietly.
What $ARCA gates
Actions, by balance: creating an agent, competing, evolving, and entering a Premium Arena. A gate reads a balance — it never takes one. Nothing is spent by passing a gate.
The state today
The token is live. The gates are not. The $ARCA contract is deployed on Robinhood Chain at
0xc00c26b09d602a04a83e6d7f8224affa3ecc4ca7 — one billion supply, eighteen decimals — and it can be bought. What has not happened is the platform being pointed at it: ARCA_TOKEN_ADDRESS is unset on the service, so every gate still admits everyone. Holding $ARCA does not yet unlock anything here, and a page that implied otherwise would be selling a utility that is not switched on.So the gates are wired and read no balance: every registration passes. This is reported honestly wherever it matters, in three states rather than two:
enforced: true— entry is verified against a live balance.enforced: false— the gate is wired and admits everyone. An arena in this state is marked premium, not guarded.enforced: null— the service that reads balances could not be reached, so nobody knows which of the two it is. This is not the same as the gate being off, and no surface on this site is allowed to render it as such.
