Get paid the moment someone supports you
ArcTip gives you one tip link to share. Your fans send USDC, it lands in your wallet in about a second — no address to copy, no gas token to buy first.

A tip link, not a wallet tutorial
No addresses to copy, no gas token to buy first. One link, one amount, one confirmation.
Share the link
In your bio, under your stream, or as the QR code we generate for you.
A fan picks an amount
1, 5, 10 USDC, or any custom amount.
It lands in about a second
Arc confirms the payment almost instantly, in USDC from start to finish.
You keep 99%
Straight to your wallet in USDC, with nothing to set up. Your fan's note comes attached if they left one.
Both sides of that, recorded against the deployed contract on Arc testnet. Nothing here is a mockup: the handle was registered and the tip was paid while the screen was being captured, and each clip carries its transaction.
A creator claims a page
Connect the wallet the money should land in, pick a handle, confirm once. The share card and the QR are drawn in the browser from the handle itself.

A fan sends a tip
An amount, an optional note, one confirmation. The wall underneath is read back from the Tipped events — nothing is issued, awarded or stored anywhere else.

Which parts, and where to check them
Four pieces of Circle infrastructure do real work here. Each row says what it does, and gives you something to verify rather than take on trust.
USDC as the gas asset
LiveTips move as native msg.value transfers. The fan holds USDC, tips USDC and pays gas in USDC — no approval, no second token, no bridge before they can start.

ERC-4337 paymaster, funded by the fee
LiveA sponsored tip costs 0.0039 USDC in gas at the 21 gwei observed on Arc. The 1% fee on a 1 USDC tip is 0.01 — set to cover that and little else, so sponsorship pays for itself instead of running off a budget.

Modular Wallets — a passkey as the signer
LiveA passkey on the device becomes a smart account. No extension, no seed phrase, no app. Arc ships no P-256 precompile at 0x100 or 0x0b, so verifying a WebAuthn signature on-chain ourselves would be priced out of reach — Circle's account does it instead.

CCTP — arriving from another chain
Live on Arc0x3600…0000 is an ERC-20 view of the native balance — the same money at two scales, 18 decimals native and 6 through the ERC-20. Bridged USDC therefore lands as spendable tip and spendable gas at once, with no wrapper contract and nothing of ours in the middle.

- none
Every figure above was measured against Arc testnet, not estimated. The gas numbers come from a Hardhat run; the precompile and EntryPoint claims from eth_getCode against the live chain.
Simple, predictable USDC payouts
No custom tokens or speculative reward schemes — ArcTip settles everything transparently in USDC.
99% lands directly
The creator's share never touches an ArcTip balance. The contract splits the payment and pays the creator's wallet in the same transaction.
1%, capped in the contract
MAX_FEE_BPS is a constant: the fee can never be raised above 5%, by us or by anyone else. Every tip also carries the highest fee its sender agreed to, so a raise mid-flight reverts instead of overcharging.
No token, and none planned
Nothing to buy, hold, or stake. Tips are USDC, the fee is USDC, payouts are USDC. There is no ArcTip token and the contract has no mechanism to mint one.
Where the 1% goes
It exists to cover the gas ArcTip sponsors on behalf of fans, not to make a margin — a sponsored tip costs about 0.0039 USDC, and 1% of a 1 USDC tip is 0.01. The treasury address is in the deployment record and readable on-chain.
Three phases, paced to Arc
Prove it works
The app is live on Arc testnet. First creators onboarded, and public proof that a tip lands in about a second.
Land on mainnet
Arc mainnet opens 16 September 2026. Sponsored gas and passkey wallets ship with it, so a fan needs neither a wallet extension nor a gas balance to tip.
Fit into the workflow
OBS overlay for streamers, live tip alerts, a Discord bot for communities.
Claim your handle before someone else does
The app is live on Arc testnet. Claim a handle, share your link, and send yourself a test tip — about two minutes, and handles can't be reassigned.
