Live on Arc Testnet· test USDC only

Your name on Arc.arc

A human-readable name for your wallet on Arc, Circle’s USDC-native L1. Registration fees and gas are both paid in USDC. Names are yours as ERC-721 tokens and renew for as long as you like.

Try: alice.arcvault.arcmy-dao.arc

How it works

Three steps, two transactions, one currency.

  1. Step 1

    Search

    Pick a name of 3–63 characters (a–z, 0–9, hyphens). If it is free you get an instant quote in USDC for 1–5 years.

  2. Step 2

    Commit

    Send a small commit transaction that hides your name behind a hash, then wait about 60 seconds. This short wait stops bots from front-running your name.

  3. Step 3

    Register

    Reveal and pay. The name is minted to your wallet as an ERC-721 token. Price and gas are both paid in USDC, Arc’s native currency — no other token needed.

Names expire; renew any time (anyone can pay). After expiry you keep a 90-day grace period in which only you can renew. Details and the full ABI are on the docs page.

Prices

Per year, paid in USDC. Shorter names cost more.

Launch prices; live values load from the registrar. Pro-rated for the duration you pick (minimum 28 days). Renewals cost the same base price.

A temporary premium (1,000 USDC decaying to 0 over 21 days) applies when re-registering a name whose grace period just ended.

Unaudited software — use at your own risk. The Arc Names contracts have not been audited by a third party. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
