Arc Mainnet, T-minus 20: the fake ARC tokens are already trading
There is no ARC token. There are already contracts named ARC with liquidity, charts and Telegram groups.
Every high-profile mainnet date produces the same pattern in the three weeks before it: tokens deployed on unrelated chains using the target chain's name, paired with a small amount of liquidity and a chart that looks like early accumulation.
Arc has no launched token. The ARC whitepaper is exploratory. Therefore every contract currently calling itself ARC is, without exception, not the thing buyers think it is.
Why it matters
The second wave is worse than the fake tokens: fake airdrop checkers that ask you to connect a wallet and sign a message. Signing is how the funds leave. A checker that reads public on-chain activity never needs your signature, and ours never asks for one.
