[ARC @ARCdotXYZ]

A milestone moment.

Tonight, the first product incubated under our umbrella moves from concept to beta. What began as an idea for a degen-native trading terminal is now becoming reality, built for those who thrive at midnight.

Ecosystem ARC runs on a simple rule: the collective eats first.

If you’re part of the ecosystem we’re building together, you’ll always be among the first to access the projects that are launched or incubated by ARC.

This means @arcthecommunity Stellars will get first access to @nocturnaldotxyz, followed by those who joined our waitlist earlier this year and committed to shaping this new world with us.

The public comes last.

This principle ensures that the value created within ARC always flows first to the people who power it.

Keep an eye on your inbox. Your access to @nocturnaldotxyz is just around the corner.

What is Don’t Die?

It’s a single player crypto game where you can 10x your NFT’s underlying value by playing skillfully.

It is fully sustainable.
It is NOT a ‘last one in loses’ ponzi game that will crash.

It is fully fair and free to play, with risk to earn.
It is NOT pay to win.

[ARC @arcthecommunity]

Not everyone gets to see this side of Web3.

The part where people actually care. Actually share. Actually show up for @MalaysiaBCW.

KL made it real and clear: ARC isn’t just a network. It’s an ecosystem in motion.

[Project W @JoinProjectW]

New gameplay. New Operators. Smarter enemies.

The world’s sharper, the AI’s nastier

What you’re seeing now? Just the floor, this IP’s ceiling is way higher

You’re early to Project W 🔥

[ARC @arcthecommunity]

A suite of curated lifestyle benefits for the culture-movers and market-shapers in ARC.

[Fred @Beyond_Fred]

Its been tough watching a lot of Web3 games wind down lately

It’s clear that capital is more selective now and expectations are higher, only real execution will earn trust in this space

Great games have been built with far less, I just hope that this correction going forward rewards the builders with honest intentions as we look to set that higher standard

Builders who focus on a lasting vision and true PMF will lead the way in the next chapter for sure

We’re making parts of our adaptive AI tech and resources available to other builders pushing real innovation in web2 and web3 – feel free to reach out via DM or on TG

We’ve been silent

Not because we disappeared - but because we were building a world worth shouting about

While the timeline farmed likes
We built systems

While agents spat nonsense
We trained real ones

We designed a future

Project W enters its next phase🔥

[Web3 Wesley @Web3Wesley]

Everyone keeps asking: "What's wrong with web3 gaming?"

Spoiler: It's not cold start problems.
It's not player retention.
It's not lack of narrative.

Web3 gave a generation of non-game developers access to millions in funding.

They thought:
“Let’s launch a token, spin up a studio, and build the next Fortnite… but with NFTs.”

Reality: most had never built a real game before.

So what happened?
• Games got released way too early
• Content was nonexistent
• No real core loop, no polish
• Empty lobbies from day one
• And then they wondered: "Why aren’t players staying?"

Because the games suck. The problem isn’t player liquidity or tooling.

It’s that the people building these games had no business building games in the first place.

They didn’t understand pacing, balance, content pipelines, or how to keep players engaged.

A lot of Web3 games are just barely-playable prototypes disguised as live games. Why?

Because these studios ran out of money before they were ready—or never scoped the game properly to begin with.

And it’s not just the games. It’s the studios themselves.

• No clear leadership.
• No product vision.
• No dev pipeline.
• No publishing strategy.

Just vibes, Discord mods, and Tokenomics spreadsheets.

And you wonder why the token is going down only?

Now enter AI. Cool tools. Great potential.

But let’s be clear: AI doesn’t fix bad judgment.

If you don’t know how to design and ship a good game, AI isn’t going to save you. It’ll just help you fail faster.

The edge AI offers in this space is to the people who already know what they’re doing. A real game designer with AI is dangerous.

AI can scale content, speed up dev time, automate workflows—yes.
But none of that matters if the core game is still boring.

If the team doesn’t understand games. If no one wants to play.

TLDR: AI won't save Web3 gaming.

But it might amplify the few studios that know what they’re doing.

The rest? They'll just fail faster—with slightly smarter bots.

I am still bullish on a select few web3 games, but the majority are going to die and for good reason. Rant over

@MetzlerGames @ReplyCorp Super excited for this Nick! 👊

[nickmetzler.eth (✖️,🎲) @MetzlerGames]

Screw it, I'm making a crypto game

Follow along for a great ride. You bet your ass I'm gonna gamify the community aspect of this too. I'll be using @ReplyCorp's new technology to track all engagement across all socials, so I'll know who's really part of the audience and who's a larper.

See you at GDC

Waiting for the new headline: #Bitcoin "CRASHES" from $1,001,000 to $985,000.

Save the tweet.

[ARC @arcthecommunity]

It feels gud to roll with the ARC entourage whenever there’s a major crypto event.

This time, about 180 Stellars pulled up to support @mikelaujr for @consensus_hk (congrats on the massive turnout btw!).

We wrapped up Day 1 the only way Stellars know how—with ARC x @Aptos Hotpot.

Big shoutout to the Aptos team—@jerome_, @0xLukeLoo, & @sushikev—for sponsoring the feast, @paperworker for helping manage the chaos of the ARC night market with the team, and @jcjayceechan for making sure our livers got a workout with the tequila. 🫡🥃

When ARC shows up, we show up.

Broccoli's Story

A year and a half ago, I casually chatted with a friend who owned a (real) zoo in Dubai. Curious, I asked what dog breed is adapted to the Dubai summer heat. I had no plans to get a dog.

Later that evening, my doorbell rang, and a young Belgian Malinois showed up, with his own passport, courtesy of the zoo friend.

I wanted a name that starts with B and has some green in it, so I named him Broccoli. It also has a blocky sound, as in blockiichain. Can't get away from crypto, haha.

Broccoli's passport says he was 3 months old, but a vet said he was more like 11 months old, given how his teeth have grown.

Regardless of age, Broccoli bonded with me quickly.

Broccoli (like me) was not properly socialized. He doesn't socialize with other dogs much. (Like me) Broccoli is scared of everything. If you throw a ball at him, instead of chasing it, he runs away like a plague. On top of that, (unlike me) Broccoli was not toilet trained, so there was dog piss and poo all over the place.

Broccoli has lots of energy. Walking doesn't drain enough of his energy, so I bought a $200 bicycle from Amazon to “walk” him. He jogged for an hour (15km) on the first run without stopping. His stamina is impressive.

These hour-long bike rides provided a good break for me from the intense negotiations with the DOJ back then.

After being away for almost a year, Broccoli remembers me well and always wanted me to pat his head.

Broccoli is a strong and confident dog now.

If you had asked me before last night, I would never have imagined that Broccoli would be part of the blockchain ecosystem. But here we are. There is never a dull day in crypto.

I am just posting my dog's picture and name. I am NOT issuing a meme coin myself. It's up to the community to do that (or not). I will likely interact with a few of the more popular meme coins on BNB Chain (BSC).

The BNB Foundation may provide rewards for the top memes on the BNB Chain, giving LP support or other rewards. The details are still being discussed. More to come.

Pictures: Broccoli 18 months ago, his teeth 18 months ago, and today.

The mint for new Stellars is closed, but there’s still a way for new folks to join the ARC fam!

How?
