The trading terminal for Arc
arky is a crypto trading terminal for Arc, Circle's USDC-native blockchain. It puts memecoins, spot assets and prediction markets on one live screen, with every price, balance and fee in USDC. Scout, a built-in AI agent, reads the markets with you and proposes trades; your wallet signs each one.
What a crypto trading terminal is
A trading terminal is a single screen built for speed: live prices, charts, order entry, your positions and a feed of what is moving, without jumping between apps. On Solana, terminals such as Axiom made this the default way to trade new tokens. Arc is younger, and its terminal layer is still forming. arky is built to fill that slot, designed for Arc from the start rather than ported from another chain.
The desks
arky splits the terminal into desks. Each one is fed live by arky's own indexer over REST and WebSocket, so numbers update as blocks land instead of when you refresh.
| Desk | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Overview | A summary of the markets and your account at a glance. |
| Pulse | Watch launchpad tokens in three columns: new launches, hot (in the final stretch toward graduation) and graduated. |
| Discover | Browse and filter tokens and markets to find something worth a closer look. |
| Memecoins | Launch, buy and sell tokens on the bonding curve, then trade them after they graduate to Uniswap v4. |
| Trade | Spot assets with live prices, quotes, order books and recent trades. |
| Predictions | Buy YES or NO on real-world questions, settled in USDC on Arc. |
| Portfolio | Your tokens, USDC and prediction positions in one view, with profit and loss. |
| Wallet | Deposit and Send wizards that move USDC in and out over Circle CCTP. |
Memecoins, spot and predictions in one place
Most traders juggle three apps: a launchpad for new tokens, an exchange for majors and a separate site for prediction markets, each with its own balance. On arky they share one USDC balance and one wallet.
- Memecoins. A token launches on a bonding curve, so its price is set by a formula from the first buy. When the curve fills, the token graduates to a Uniswap v4 pool. Creators earn a share of trading fees. See memecoins on Arc.
- Spot. Major assets with live prices and quotes in USDC.
- Predictions. Markets on events where a YES share pays out if the event happens. Settlement is in USDC on Arc. See prediction markets.
USDC everywhere
On Arc, according to the Arc gas and fees docs, "Arc denominates all transaction fees in USDC, the native gas token", and transactions are final in under one second. arky follows the chain: every price, position, profit figure and network fee is shown in dollars. You never need a second token to pay gas, and you never convert a gas cost back into dollars in your head. The USDC trading guide walks through it step by step.
Scout, the AI agent inside the terminal
Every arky account comes with Scout, an AI trading agent that lives in the terminal. Ask it what is hot on the launchpad, how a token has moved over the last six hours, or what you hold, and it answers from live arky data and your own history. Ask it to buy, sell or bet and it prepares a proposal card. Your wallet signs it, and Scout then checks the fill on chain. It cannot move funds on its own. The Scout guide covers the safety model in detail.
Built for safety
- Your keys, your signature. Trades are signed in your wallet: arky's built-in wallet or one you connect, such as MetaMask, Phantom, Rabby, OKX or Coinbase Wallet.
- On-chain checks. Every fill Scout proposes is confirmed from the chain receipt, not from the browser's word.
- Public status. arky publishes a status page so you can see whether services are healthy.
Getting started
- Open app.arky.bet and create a wallet or connect your own.
- Deposit USDC. If it sits on another chain, follow how to bridge USDC to Arc.
- Pick a desk, or ask Scout where to start.
