Arc and Circle attribution
ArcNS is an independent name service built on Arc Testnet. ArcNS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Circle unless separately agreed in writing. Arc is a trademark of Circle Internet Group, Inc. and/or its affiliates.
.circle testnet namespace
`.circle` is an ArcNS testnet namespace and does not imply Circle endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or ownership.
No ownership or endorsement claim
The ArcNS project claims no ownership of the Arc or Circle names, marks, logos, or other brand assets. References to Arc Testnet and Circle are descriptive only and do not state or imply partnership, approval, endorsement, sponsorship, or official status.
Testnet status and no promises
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.
Nothing in ArcNS branding is a promise of mainnet launch, financial value, legal right, continued availability, or future recognition of a testnet name.
