Testnet service and launch status
ArcNS is live on Arc Testnet for testing and demonstration. Mainnet deployment is gated on external audit, mainnet USDC configuration, operational hardening, and final legal/brand review.
No promises or professional advice
ArcNS is provided on an experimental, as-is, and as-available basis. Nothing in the app or documentation is a promise of mainnet or public launch, financial return, continued availability, legal outcome, or fitness for a particular purpose. ArcNS does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
Name registration and renewal
Names are ERC-721 NFTs with registration periods and renewal requirements. Registration expires unless renewed before the applicable expiry date.
Users are responsible for checking the selected registration period, applicable expiry date, renewal status, wallet transactions, and testnet conditions. Testnet names and records may not carry over to any future deployment.
