Arc Score rates tokens on the Arc blockchain from on-chain data only. Every token gets seven sub-scores between 0 and 100, combined into one total by fixed weights. No manual adjustments, no paid listings, no opinions. The same rules apply to every token.
All Arc tokens with at least $5k of pool liquidity (up to 80), plus every new USDC pool detected directly on-chain (Uniswap V3 PoolCreated / V4 Initialize events, scanned every run) once it holds ≥ $2.5k USDC — new tokens are rated within about 15 minutes of launch and carry a NEW tag for 24 h. Tokens seen in the last 24 h stay listed so that a pulled pool remains visible as liquidity pulled.
Read by us from the Arc chain: liquidity and price (USDC held by V3 pools, V4 pool state with a quoter check — hook pools included), supply and burn, contract and pool creation, sell checks (quoter round trip and a transfer simulation from a real holder), every swap on Uniswap V3/V4 for the rated tokens (24 h volume, unique wallets, buyer flows, real buyers, round-trip share), every token transfer (holder counts, wallet clusters) for tokens whose full history is indexed, new pools, the CCTP bridge, chain activity. Still external: holder counts from arc-scan for tokens whose history is not yet fully indexed, the explorer's lookalike flag, GeckoTerminal volume for the few tokens traded mainly outside Uniswap, token logos, and the arcts token list as one of three universe sources. Every figure on a token page carries its source.
Liquidity (25%) — pool depth and how the liquidity is controlled (launchpad-managed vs. a manually created pool whose owner can withdraw it).
Concentration (15%) — how much of the supply sits in the largest wallets, after removing the pool, lockers, burn addresses and contracts.
Holder quality (15%) — holder count, the share of real buyers vs. dust/airdrop-farming activity, and the buyer/seller balance.
Lookalike risk (10%) — explorer name checks and same-symbol clones on Arc. Copies score lower than the original; the original (the dominant one by liquidity, several times all copies combined) is only lightly marked for buyer-confusion risk, because being copied is not its flaw.
History (15%) — age, deployment path (launchpad, factory, direct deploy) and whether the source is verified.
Trading pattern (10%) — volume relative to liquidity, buy/sell balance and how many distinct wallets stand behind the trades.
Volatility (10%) — drawdown from the recent high and the size of the 24 h move.
Every token is test-driven on-chain: a simulated $10 buy-and-sell round trip through the Uniswap quoter (Uniswap V3 pools) and a simulated transfer from a real holder. A blocked transfer or a reverting sell caps the score near zero; a round-trip loss far above the pool fees is flagged as a hidden sell cost.
A pool whose liquidity collapses and is confirmed on-chain is marked liquidity pulled and its score is capped near zero. Very thin pools cannot be rated low-risk regardless of their other numbers (score capped). Informational flags such as LP unlocked, one wallet holds N% or N same-symbol tokens explain what pulled a score down.
A ≥ 80 low risk · B 65–79 moderate · C 50–64 elevated · D 30–49 high · F < 30 critical.
Arc JSON-RPC, arc-scan.org, GeckoTerminal and arcts.fun. Scores refresh every 15 minutes; slower-moving data (holders, deployer history) is cached for up to an hour. Every token page shows the exact on-chain evidence behind each sub-score.
LP lock status is inferred from how the pool was created, not from reading every LP position. The sell check is a simulation at the current block; a contract can change behaviour later. Scores describe risk structure, not expected returns. Nothing here is investment advice.
