About Arc

Arc is an open, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built for global financial markets, real-time money movement, and agent-driven economic activity.
Key features of Arc include:

• Stablecoins as gas, with USDC used initially.
• Sub-second deterministic finality
• Predictable USD-denominated fees
• EVM-compatible, supporting existing Ethereum tools and application ecosystems
• For application scenarios such as payments, lending, trading, onchain forex, tokenized assets, and agent-driven economic activity

Arc Chain Limited-Time Gas Fee Waiver

To celebrate the integration of Trenches with Arc chain and to thank users for their support, during the event, users who trade Arc onchain assets via Trenches can enjoy exclusive limited-time 0 Gas trading benefits. Details of these benefits and the end time will be announced in a separate notice.

Trading Fee as Low as 0.5% for a Limited Time

During the event period, users who buy or sell assets via Trenches can enjoy a limited-time offer of trading fee rate as low as 0.5% . This offer applies to both the Web platform and the Gate App, as follows:

1. Web: All users can directly enjoy a 0.5% trading fee rate without any additional action.
2. Gate App: All users will enjoy the 0.5% trading fee rate. For app versions below 8.36.0, the app pages will still display the original 0.8% fee rate, but the system will actually settle and deduct fees at the 0.5% rate. This does not affect the discounted fee rate users enjoy.

The specific end time of the promotion will be announced separately.

Reward 1: Trade Check-in to Share 10,000 USDT

During the event, if a user's daily trading volume of Arc chain tokens in the Trenches zone reaches 200 USDT, it counts as 1 valid check-in.
Users who complete 3 or more valid check-ins during the event will share the 10,000 USDT prize pool based on their share of total check-ins.

Reward 2: Meet the Volume Target to Share 15,000 USDT

During the event, users whose cumulative trading volume of Arc chain tokens in the Trenches Zone (including both buys and sells) reaches 5,000 USDT will share the 15,000 USDT prize pool based on their share of trading volume.

Reward 3: Trade to Top the Rankings and Share 25,000 USDT

During the event period, users will be ranked by cumulative trading volume (including buys and sells) of Arc chain tokens in the Trenches Zone. The Top 30 users will receive rewards for their corresponding tier. Users must also meet the minimum trading volume threshold for that tier to claim the corresponding ranking reward.

If the volume reaches the minimum threshold for a tier but the ranking falls in a lower tier, rewards will be issued according to the tier corresponding to the actual ranking, and no higher-tier supplement will be issued.

Reward 4: 10,000 USDT Trading Fee Rebate Voucher Pool for New Users

New users who trade Arc chain tokens in Trenches during the activity period and reach a cumulative trading volume of 100 USDT can receive a 10 USDT trading fee rebate voucher. The prize pool is 10,000 USDT, available while supplies last.
Users who already have trade records in the Trenches Zone (including the former Gate Alpha Zone) before the event starts are not eligible for this reward.
