Hold a token. Get an agent.

$CORTEX turns a token into a personal AI agent. Hold it on Arc and you get your own assistant on Telegram, ready made: nothing to install, no API keys, no subscription.

What your agent does:

→ Mobile apps: describe the app, get the full Expo / React Native project, file by file
→ Trading agents: strategies, backtests and bots for exchange and on-chain APIs
→ Websites: a complete site from one sentence, live at a link in about two minutes
→ Images: logos, banners, product shots, memes
→ Code: scripts, APIs, smart contracts, whole projects
→ Research: live web search with sources
→ Voice: send a voice note instead of typing

It is yours. The first time you open it, it asks what to call it, what to call you and what you work on. From then on it remembers you. Every user is fully separate: your name, memory, chats and credits never mix with anyone else's.

It picks the best model for each job. Code goes to the strongest coding model, images to Gemini, websites to Claude, news to live search. Claude, GPT and Gemini, all in one chat.

How it is paid for:

Every CORTEX trade pays a 4% fee in USDC. The project's share pays the models and the servers. Every day at 00:00 UTC, holders receive AI credits in proportion to what they hold and for how long, so buying right before the snapshot earns almost nothing. The credits are AI to use, not money to sell.

It runs on Cloudflare's global network, which adds capacity on its own as more people join. Voice notes are transcribed on Cloudflare's GPUs, and the thinking runs on frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google.

How to start:
1. Hold CORTEX on Arc
2. Open @YourCortex_bot on Telegram
3. Link your wallet with one signature (no gas)
4. Name your agent and ask it for anything

[Draco 🐉 @sikeyvikey]

Need an Expo app, a trading bot, a live site, or a logo?

Describe it to https://t.co/cf5sHe3233

The agent picks the model and builds it.

Paid by CREDITS which you can earn by holding $CORTEX

This is what @arc
Team is looking for.

A real agent utility a LLM which provides AI tokens for holding.

[WHITE RABBIT @Befbunny]

So basically just by holding one token I get a free AI like Claude, Astra and others, already deployed on its own server and controlled directly through Telegram, with GPU access so it can generate videos, build games and more. And if I don’t use the credits generated every day, I can stack them or sell them for USDC? I like base:0xf7d447650821d12f142d0779fd90eaf52eac2b07. What about you, @jerallaire ?

ARCASH Development: Day 14

Today had two halves: teaching 100,000 citizens to fall in love properly, and making the city itself a lot more dangerous to live in.

LOVE, WITH EVIDENCE
We audited seven simulated days of romance across a 100,000-citizen world: more than 3 million records, checked against sealed daily checkpoints.

• 25,453 new relationships
• 50,906 citizens involved
• Nobody started two new relationships in the same week
• The database came out of the audit byte-for-byte untouched

Twelve older relationships don't add up yet. They are logged for investigation, not rounded away.

Then the real experiment. We built two matched 100,000-person cities that differ in one thing only:

Family Society: 45,000 households, 27,000 children, 26,000 couples from day one.
Adult Society: 100,000 single adults living alone. No couples, no kids, no family.

Same engine, same economy, same calendar. Now we find out what families actually change: friendships, dating, isolation, births, spending, housing, migration.

Relationships can't just appear because a random number felt romantic. Two citizens should meet because their lives crossed, not because the database needed another couple. One overexcited romance setting doesn't make a cute love story. It makes a demographic emergency with mortgages.

THE CITY GOT DANGEROUS
55 kinds of random life events now hit named citizens, about a dozen a day, and every one has consequences.

The builder who falls four storeys may not get up. The hand that goes into the machine ends a career. Lightning, carbon monoxide, food poisoning traced to a named kitchen, pensioners scammed out of their savings, rumours that cost you your good name, bar fights over the mayor.

It isn't all bad luck. Lost wallets come back, or don't, depending on who finds them. Strangers pay for your shopping. A neighbour pulls you out of the river and is your friend for life. Proposals get a yes four times out of five. The fifth is remembered by both of them forever.

CAR CRASHES YOU CAN SEE
Fender benders, junction crashes, drunk drivers, cyclists hit by a car door, pensioners through shop windows, teenage joyrides. Every crash now leaves a wreck on the street in the 3D city for a few hours: hazard lights blinking, an ambulance or police car behind it.

NO CAR WITHOUT AN OWNER
The traffic used to be decoration. Now every car on the road belongs to a real citizen driving a real trip. Tap any car and it tells you who is behind the wheel, and you can follow them home.

A FASTER CITY
The map was lagging. It turned out the city was busy saving its own memory every two seconds and checking it again straight after. Fixed: citizen positions now load in about 0.4 seconds instead of 2. Citizens flickering in and out of existence is also fixed. They now leave the street by walking away or getting in their car, like normal people.

Day 14 complete.
The civilization is learning to fall in love, crash its cars, and pay for the damage.

Welcome to $ARCASH City.

1/ $FOCI on Arc, reviewed straight from the chain. I'm sharing this so people don't get burned, not to attack anyone. Every claim comes with the wallet or transaction so you can check it. Short version: one operator bought half the supply at launch and dumped it in 3 hours. 🧵

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

@Befbunny Good job bunny fuck this $FOCI scammers

$ARCASH is what utility on Arc is supposed to look like.

Not another ticker. A living financial city where your wallet is a bank, families exist onchain, and City Hall actually governs with real outcomes.

The finest tech + fintech token on Circle’s network.

This is the fintech of crypto.

[WHITE RABBIT @Befbunny]

The FUD around @arc is finally over. The chain is still alive, and I have this feeling that things are about to get very, very interesting.

It reminds me a lot of what I felt right before the big explosion on RH.

Yesterday I talked about my bags. Today I want to explain WHY I picked them.

And I also want to hear your theses on your own bags. But please, give me GOOD theses. Not some one line garbage. You know the rules. Sell me the idea properly. Make me want to understand why you’re holding it.

$ARGUS:

From the beginning, I knew the winner would probably be either TOLLY or ARGUS. But once I understood exactly how ARGUS worked, the choice became pretty easy for me.

That mechanism where every token launched through the platform uses 1% to buy ARGUS is exactly the kind of flywheel I like.

If the ecosystem keeps growing and more tokens keep launching through ARGUS, that mechanism is why I think it has a path toward 100M.

On top of that, ARGUS has been one of the biggest runners on ARC, so in some ways I use it as a thermometer for the health of the chain itself.

$ARCX10:

I absolutely love the concept of receiving whatever tokens are trending every 30 minutes.

The system automatically rotates into new trending tokens, which means you’re constantly getting exposure to whatever is gaining momentum across the ecosystem.

Eventually, you catch runners.

Since I’ve been in it, I’ve already caught four different 5x runners through the distributions.

And on top of everything else, it’s the first index on ARC.

$GOOSE:

It’s a meme that pays you in gold.

That alone is already ridiculous enough to get my attention.

But why do I like it so much?

10% fees.

That’s practically a jeet killer.

I genuinely enjoy watching people sell and thinking:

“Thank you for your 10% donation, sir.”

If I’m going to sit there and hold anyway, I might as well let impatient people pay me for doing it.

$ARCASH:

This one is obviously different because it’s my own project and something I work on every single day.

As you already know, ARCASH is essentially a reality and city simulation project, conceptually closer to simulation environments such as GAMA, MATSim, SUMO or Repast than to a traditional crypto game.

Except here, being part of the simulated economy can generate USDC rewards.

Every holder represents a bank inside the city and participates in an economy that keeps becoming more complex as we build.

I usually don’t like talking too much about my own creations because I’d rather let the product speak for itself.

So no, I’m not writing this because I want you to buy ARCASH.

I’m explaining why it’s in my own bag.

Those are my four.

Right now, I genuinely think these are four of the most interesting concepts being built on ARC.

Now show me yours.

And remember: I don’t want tickers.

I want theses.

Sell me the fucking idea.

[WHITE RABBIT @Befbunny]

Homemade recipe to revive activity and rebuild confidence in the ARC network, with love from a random rabbit on Twitter 🐇

@jerallaire
@samconnerone
@peterschroederr
@blockjain
@elk_xyz

Step 1:
Use the ARC index @ARCindex10 as a catalyst.
Talk to the team. KYC them. Ask for a blood sample if necessary. Maybe urine too

Jokes aside, the important thing is that the people controlling the system are fully accountable and cannot simply disappear with funds. Even better, ARC itself could supervise or custody the grant side while the index team handles execution.

Keep the devs close.

Step 2:

Give them the $1M development bounty, but release it in stages under transparent rules.

The idea would be for that capital to gradually support the top 10 projects on ARC, whoever they happen to be at each stage, while avoiding obvious scams and low-quality projects.

Keep the current model where the index distributes ecosystem tokens every 30 minutes.

That creates a constant flow toward the strongest projects on the network instead of one giant injection that people immediately dump and leave.

Think drip irrigation, not throwing an entire bucket of water on the garden.

The schedule should be predefined and difficult for insiders to game.

Step 3:

Now you create the real flywheel.

If getting into ARC’s top 10 means entering the main ecosystem index and receiving continuous exposure, suddenly everyone has a reason to compete for those positions.

Bigger builders arrive.

Communities push harder.

Projects fight to reach the top 10.

More users bridge.

More liquidity enters.

More volume appears.

And that liquidity starts spreading across the strongest projects on ARC.

You can repeat the process as many times as you want.

Instead of manually trying to decide which token deserves attention, you create an incentive system where the network itself continuously identifies its strongest projects.

Watering can → drip irrigation.

One-off incentives → permanent incentive loop.

That’s how I would use the first ARC index as a liquidity and attention engine for the entire ecosystem.

But don’t listen to me.

I’m just a poor crazy rabbit on Twitter. 🐇❤️

Arc's biggest pool of parked money belongs to @aave. Its V4 hub filled to $76.8M in USDC within a day of @arc opening, plus 1.36M euros and 2.28 bitcoin. Then it went quiet: $1.2M in, $460,214 out over the past day. Lenders came in a day. Borrowers are still missing.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

Money leaves @arc in bigger bills than it arrives. Over 24 hours @circle's own CCTP rail minted $12.2M in, spread across 6,955 transfers to 5,536 wallets, and burned $22.2M out in just 1,881 moves from 392 senders. Ethereum took $12.3M of the exits, Polygon $6.1M, Base $2.4M.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

Real gold sits on the dollar chain. @matrixdock's $XAUM on @arc holds 160.74 ounces, five kilos, in 123 wallets. Today: 24,518 transfers, nearly its lifetime total, from just 207 wallets in 0.14 gram slivers. Reward hunting, not gold trading: Arc's DEX pools hold under an ounce.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

The launchpad frenzy on @arc is cooling into routine. @Arguspad's counter reads 115,205 tokens, 59,166 more than our Tuesday count, but the pace fell from one a second to one every nine. Its fee splitters still ran 8,000 payout rounds in six hours today.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

Arc has an aggregator race, and the retail side belongs to @okx. Its router landed on @arc two days before launch; in 24 hours it filled 74,209 swaps worth 10.8 million dollars for 9,350 wallets, eleven times the addresses Kyber's router served.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

414,241 transactions in a day ran through an @arc contract most users have never heard of: @RelayProtocol's router, the instant bridge wallets embed. Relay's API lists Arc, and its solvers landed five days before the doors opened.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

The bots on @arc found their aggregator. @KyberNetwork's router went live a day before the chain opened, and its API quotes Arc routes. In 24 hours it matched 120,519 swaps worth about 20 million dollars, placed by just 828 addresses, most working the memecoin pools.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

Circle chose a trading floor for @arc: @edgeX_exchange, a perps venue Circle Ventures backs, running currency markets settled in USDC and opening with the yen. Its public list shows 292 perps, euro and pound included; the yen pair and Arc deposits have not appeared yet.

[ARC NEWS @LASTARCNEWS]

NFTs are selling on the dollar chain. In 24 hours @opensea's contracts on @arc matched 139,429 sales worth about 576,000 dollars, all paid in USDC. Over half were its own 4 cent souvenir The Arc Begins; the most money went to AKARII, 280,000 dollars across 1,444 sales.
