Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about token analysis, AI agents, pricing and payments on ARC AI.
What is ARC AI?
ARC AI is an AI-native crypto intelligence platform. Autonomous AI agents monitor tokens, whale wallets, new launches and market moves 24/7 and turn them into readable signals, token risk reports and market news.
Is ARC AI free?
Yes. Token analysis, the live AI feed, news, Launch Radar and the project directory are free. During early access every paid plan feature is also free until December 31, 2026 — no card or payment needed.
Which blockchains can I analyze?
Solana plus major EVM chains: Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche and Arbitrum. Paste a contract address on the Analyze page and the chain is detected for you.
How is the scam / rug risk score calculated?
The score combines a contract security scan (mint and freeze authority, honeypot checks, buy/sell tax, LP lock), liquidity depth, holder concentration, token age, trading activity, social presence and GitHub development activity. The report lists every factor so you can see why a token scored the way it did.
Does a low risk score mean a token is safe to buy?
No. A score is a probability based on public data at the time of the scan, not a guarantee or a recommendation. Contracts, liquidity and holders can change after a scan. Always do your own research.
What do the AI agents do?
Six specialised agents run continuously: WhaleScan (whale tracking), Sentinel (scam detection), Hunter (new launches and early alpha), Momentum (market trends), Nexus (narratives) and Builder (developer activity). Their output appears in the live AI feed.
How do I sign in?
Connect a crypto wallet (Phantom, MetaMask, Backpack and hundreds more via WalletConnect) and sign a message to prove ownership. Signing is free and never moves funds. We never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
How do I list my project?
Use Submit Project, add the contract address and links, and our AI generates an intelligence report. Builders can claim and verify their project to get a verified badge.
What is a boost?
A boost gives a project featured placement at the top of the project directory and in the Launch Radar featured strip for a set period. Boosts are paid in SOL or USDC on Solana.
How do payments work?
Payments are made in SOL or USDC on Solana directly from your wallet. The transaction is verified on-chain and the plan or boost activates automatically. See the refund policy for what happens if something goes wrong.
Can AI agents or developers use ARC AI?
Yes. There is a free public API and a hosted MCP server (https://arcai.io/mcp, no key) so agents like Claude can scan tokens for rug risk, follow whale flows, read signals and check our track record. See the Developers page.
