Frequently asked questions
Answers about Arc, USDC and the deployed Archery workflows.
Which network should I use?
Arc Mainnet, chain ID 5042, for real trading and liquidity. Arc Testnet, chain ID 5042002, runs a separate QA deployment with mock tokens; its addresses and balances are testnet-only.
Do I need ETH or an ARC token for gas?
No. Arc uses USDC. Its native and ERC-20 interfaces share a balance with different unit precision. Spending ERC-20 USDC also reduces the balance available for gas.
Which wallet can execute a batch?
The Multicall3From call-helper path supports a directly signing EOA on Arc Mainnet and Arc Testnet. A contract wallet needs its own compatible batch executor. Always verify the wallet network and simulate the full call sequence.
Why can't I stake, lock or vote yet?
ARCHERY is minted at the token generation event (TGE). Until then there is nothing to lock or vote with and no emissions for staked positions, so the app shows only swaps and liquidity. Gauges already exist for every pool; staking, locking, voting and rewards open in the app from TGE.
Can I claim everything as USDC?
Liquid claims can be composed with quoted swaps into USDC when executable routes exist. Tokens without routes remain unconverted. A veArchery rebase increases a lock and is not a liquid reward to sell in the same flow.
Is rebalance one transaction?
Yes. ArcheryUtils passes the actual newly minted NFT ID to depositFor in the same transaction, assigning you the stake and withdrawal rights. On failure the app falls back to preparing the new NFT stake after the range-change receipt.
Why did my transaction fail?
Check the network, gas USDC, spender approvals, deadline, minimum output and pool liquidity. For staking or voting, also check NFT ownership, gauge status and the epoch window. A required subcall failure reverts the whole batch; gas can still be charged.
Where can I follow updates or reach the team?
Announcements are posted on X and the Telegram channel; questions go to the Telegram community chat. For partnerships or anything private, email contact@archery.wtf.
Does testing guarantee a mainnet allocation?
No. Testnet activity does not guarantee a Mainnet allocation. There is no public airdrop claim contract.
