ARC is already three years in. It’s time for the next arc, and a collective level-up.
As many Stellars already know, this year during Token2049 week, we won’t be taking over the timeline with one massive party.
Instead, we’re shifting gears: more intimate settings, more focused builder-to-builder conversations.
Curated by the ARC core team to reflect the diverse mix of founders, investors, and builders in our ecosystem, the main event for 2025 will be a roundtable designed for real value and meaningful connections.
🗓️ Roundtable ARC
30 Sep (Daytime)
🥢 Hotpot ARC
30 Sep (Evening)
Beyond that, the ARC team will be co-hosting a series of side events throughout the week, from 29 Sep (Monday) all the way to 3 Oct (Friday).
We’ll share the full details closer to September, but for now, start locking in your flights and accommodation. And don’t forget to check your ARC Benefits to make the most of the travel perks you’ve got as a Stellar!

In the world of Stellars, our identities aren’t bound by who we are, but by what we’re passionate about.
Did you know there are 6 Passion archetypes to choose from when customising your Stellar NFT? Inspired by our diverse collective, each Passion archetype represents a unique attitude and personality. And within every Passion, there are two distinct DNAs 🧬🧬.
If you haven’t customised your Stellar yet, and need a quick way to figure out which Passion you vibe with, we’ve got you covered with this short quiz to point you in the right direction.
Already taken the quiz two years ago? You’ll want to try this new version. It’s updated with new questions, and now reveals both your Passion and your DNA.
Take the quiz now 👉🏻 stellars.typeform.com/to/To3…
If you’re happy with your results, take it as a sign to customise (or recustomise) your Stellar here 👉🏻 arccommunity.com/createmyste…

Welcome to ARC.xyz, the new home of an expanding ARC ecosystem.
In a world still playing by the old rules, you chose to forge your own path. You refused to be just another cog in the machine, another passive observer.
You decided to act. To shape the future rather than be shaped by it. With this cognitive awakening, you’re no longer just a bystander in someone else’s story.
You’re the author of your own arc.

It was around 2 years ago during this time that we started the official mint for ARC Stellars. We were unconventional at that point for announcing that there would be no minting window for Stellars because for us, the priority has and will always be on ensuring that we build the community, member-by-member, in the best way possible.
Many people in the space were unconvinced about what we were looking to build. But we had a lot of friends and people who did believe in us, in @GabeWithTheHat, in the team. Because of each and every one of you who joined as an ARC Stellar, who took a chance on us, who trusted that we would deliver on what we said, from the trenches of the bear in 2022 till today, I want to say a big thank you and finally, finally, we fking did it.
Today, we would like to announce that the mint for ARC Stellars will be officially closed.
#888 is a special one and for now, our decision is to mint that and transfer it to the ARC company vault. We have yet to close the decision on whom the last mint will go to but it's an important, symbolic number and we have plans for it.
With the mint closed, we're going to be kickstarting our next phase of growth. We're going to be building and cooking some amazing stuff together. We're going to be doing it collectively, with the community, as well as the extensive resources and networks ARC has access to.
2025 is going to be epic. We're going to build a new world yall. Lesgo

We took the path less travelled.
Unlike many others who sought capital from external VCs, we looked inward, turning to the heart of our mission—the community.
Led by fellow Stellar @karlmja, Partner at @ArcaneGrp, ARC is now fuelled by the collective strength of our community, allowing us to stay true to our values and enabling us to prioritise decision-making for the longterm success of ARC.
Thank you to all our members who participated in the fundraise. Every contribution matters and helps lay the foundation for our future growth and expansion plans.

At the beginning of 2024, I launched the first article in this series where we introduced the idea of Community-As-A-Brand entities. In that article, I wrote about the origins behind these entities and why they are tipped to be the next-gen unicorns. More importantly, I shared about how we had designed and built @arcthecommunity to be such an entity.
Since then, much has happened. We closed our mint in March to focus on building. Then we shared with the community in April that we wanted to raise a round completely from within the community. The months after were filled with many 1-1 conversations with members as I shared more about the future plans for ARC.
Those conversations also led me to write this next piece in the series. In my meetings with the team and community, I often speak about the idea of community-led growth and how that is key for ARC. It is also the reason why we always prioritise community health as an always-on OKR and in this piece, I have tried my best to outline how you go from designing community-as-a-brand entities to activating them.
At ARC, we are creating an unprecedented kind of business model - a digital-first institution borne out of a highly-aligned community. I have always emphasised that we are not an NFT project, but an entity that is leveraging crypto and blockchain technologies to further our community and business goals. In that regard, our ambition does not sit merely within Web3. We strongly believe that by implementing the principles outlined in this article consistently, we will be able to build up revenue streams far beyond any traditional Web2 counterparts or similar community-centric entities in Web3. We hope you get to understand more of that ambition after reading this piece.
With the publishing of this new chapter, we are humbled to share that thanks to the support and belief that members have placed in us, we have closed our fundraise with more than USD4.5mil raised.
Beyond the amount, it is the fact that this was a round that was raised completely from within the community. It’s a genuine testament to the content I’ve covered here about our thinking behind ARC and what we have achieved thus far. They aren’t just theoretical principles about community-building but real-life executions we have implemented.
As always, I hope you find this a provocative read that challenges and informs your perspectives on communities and how they can be run.

The final mint for ARC Stellars. ⏳
We've always looked at building ARC from a community-first approach. Today, as part of those efforts, we are announcing our final batch of minting for ARC Stellars as we look to close the mint at 888.
➡️ Why 888?
In the last 2 years, we have learnt a lot about what is needed for a community to grow and thrive.
Building a community involves constantly optimising for connections, relationships and emotional bonding. In addition, ensuring that it thrives requires a huge amount of work to constantly deliver value to each and every member.
Keeping our community small, close-knit and maintaining our curation principles will put us in a better place to achieve the above.
➡️ Who are we looking for?
We are on the lookout for builders and investors in Web3 and Web2, based in growing and developed crypto/tech hubs all across the world, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai, US and beyond.
Our priority is to ensure that every new member is able to bring fresh, added value to our community. Therefore, please spend time on your application and help us understand more about you and what you could bring to the collective as a member and contributor.
Please share any relevant information that could be helpful in verifying your profile, such as links to your company website, resume, portfolio, etc.
Also, link your strongest social media profile and ensure it's public.
➡️ What are the dates that I should look out for?
Applications will start on 15 Aug, 2PM (UTC+8) here: arccommunity.com/apply. To apply, you will need a referral link from an existing Stellar.
Successful applicants will be informed via email, starting from 2 Sep, 2PM (UTC+8). You will then be provided with information on how to mint your ARC Stellars NFT and Fyrian, our curation token.
If you do not hear from us, it is likely that your application lacked the necessary information to proceed to the next stage.
➡️ Things to note:
✨ The mint will be on a FCFS basis. Once we hit 888, we will close the mint
✨ Ensure that there is at least 3ETH + gas fees in your allowlisted wallet
✨ Add [email protected] to your email provider's 'Safe Senders' list
➡️ What happens after 888?
There will be no more direct mint at 3ETH.
You can choose to purchase any listed Stellars on the secondary market, but you'll still need to apply and be reviewed to mint Fyrian and join our community.
If you have any other questions, reach out to our ARC Helpdesk volunteers like @NFT_Unker, @0xsteamboat, @LegallyBullnde, @852luk, etc. 😊

With the bull run comes the scams. 🚨
Our members have pointed out several fake accounts on Instagram sharing links about a fake mint. Do not engage with these links. Instead, block and report the fake accounts.
A reminder: @arcthecommunity will NEVER DM you first, and there will NEVER be a stealth or surprise mint. Always be sceptical of any messages you receive, especially those containing links.

We always appreciate Stellars organising classes like these for the community!
Thank you @sakehermit 💜
Had a 2nd opportunity to attend @sakehermit Sake Appreciation Class. 2nd sitting does indeed revised my knowledge and he further added where I should focus next!
Highly recommended for all @arcthecommunity Stellars to join this and grow your sake knowledge!
Extremely proud to see how far ARC community has come! :’) to greater heights! 🫡 #IntoTheARC
We haven't forgotten the FUD we faced when we first introduced our curation process.
It was challenging, but our conviction in our vision never wavered.
We're now seeing the fruits of our labour, as the positive network effects of a tightly curated community become evident.
Hear from our Stellar, @chris_sirise, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer of @Pixelmon, as he shares his recent fundraising experience for $MON and the role ARC played in his success! 👇
