ARC Mainnet is expected to officially launch on September 16, and we’re proud to be its first 5,555-piece wizard collection.
We’re committed to keeping the mint completely free and open to everyone, with no whitelist. We’ve also built a robust anti-bot system so that every real person has a fair chance to claim a wizard of their own.
Our marketplace is already complete, and we’ll continue moving forward according to our roadmap. We plan to achieve many more “firsts” on the ARC network, but the details will remain under wraps for now.
Q2 results are out.
→ Arc Mainnet launches September 16.
→ Founding validators joining Circle include BlackRock, DTCC, Galaxy, Global Payments, ICE, Mastercard, MoneyGram, SBI Group, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo Corporation, and Visa.
→ We received our federal trust bank charter from the OCC to establish Circle National Trust, one of the first stablecoin issuers to hold a federal bank charter.
→ USDC captured nearly 70% of stablecoin transaction volume in June, according to Visa Onchain Analytics.

Congratulations to the ten lucky Wizards!
We used Grok to select the winners, and their wallet addresses have now been added to the airdrop list on our official website.
This was our second airdrop giveaway. Before the ARC mainnet goes live, we plan to select a total of 50 Wizards.
We keep building. The winners are listed below:

A partner suggested removing the minimum onchain balance requirement for Mint. It could accelerate distribution, but after careful discussion, we believe the mechanism is necessary.
Stopping bots may slow the summoning. That is acceptable. We do not need artificial prosperity. We will not allow real wizards to miss the Mint while automated wallets accumulate supply and gain control over the market.
The market will be open. Our team is expanding. We are building so that every Wizard can carry real value.
Chapter I has not opened yet, and the road ahead is long. The market is ready, partnerships are progressing, and even our game is nearing completion. Once Arc Mainnet goes live, these pieces will unlock one by one.
You may soon discover what an unassuming old wizard has been preparing.
The Arc Wizards vault is now open:
https://t.co/KDTNt0k2kH
Meet the first 5,555 wizards born on Arc. Forged in hard-edged pixels, each wizard carries a distinct spell, relic, companion, and realm.
The summoning will be free. The gate remains sealed until the appointed hour.
Enter the vault. The first chapter is waiting.
Congratulations!
Since Grok refused to respond to this wizard on X, we switched to the web version of Grok and conducted the draw live on video.
After the project launches, the developer account will purchase the NFTs from the marketplace and airdrop them directly to the winners’ wallets. The winners’ details will also be featured in a rotating display on the official website.
Here are the selected winners for this round:

Every Wizard begins before the spell.
A silhouette measured by hand. A staff aligned to the grid. Light and shadow resolved one square at a time.
Our aesthetic lives between arcane memory and disciplined pixel craft.
The grid remembers everything.
Anti-bot protection will live at the contract level.
Minting will require a modest Arc USDC balance: easy for real users to meet, but costly and time-consuming to scale across bot wallets.
The exact threshold will be revealed when mint opens, reducing advance preparation.
The gates have long been ready.
The Arc Wizards site stands prepared, but the final security trials continue. A completely free and fair launch deserves the strongest possible defense against bots.
We will open only when the gate can protect every wizard fairly.
We reject paid mints.
When a project is paid before it earns belief, the reason to keep building can fade.
Arc Wizards launches with no whitelist and no mint price.
One public opening. Same rules for everyone.
Free mint. Fair launch.
We keep earning the right to build.
The Academy is no longer silent.
The first gates are open.
Wizards gather. The vault begins to yield.
AW stirs beneath the stone.
This is only the first playable glimpse.
The Arc remembers.
