Before mainnet · the program

Lightkeeper: get here first, honestly.

Arc mainnet has not opened yet. That gap is the whole opportunity: Lightkeepers are the people already launching, trading and building on the testnet, so that when the chain opens, this harbor is already alive.

01 · Why now

Being early is the only edge nobody can buy later.

Most launchpads arrive after a chain is already crowded. Arclight is being built before Arc opens, in public, on the live testnet. Everything you do here is a practice run that actually counts: the same contracts, the same curve, the same harbor that will greet mainnet on day one.

The road as it stands. Dates are Arc’s to set; readiness is ours.

02 · Light points

Points come from what you do, never from what you claim.

Light points are the record of a Lightkeeper’s work. They accrue from three on-chain, verifiable sources, and from nowhere else. We do not pad numbers, sell points, or run engagement theatre.

Three sources, one score. All three are visible on the chain or in the harbor.

  • Launch a beacon: create a token on the testnet curve and take it toward full light.
  • Trade the curves: real buys and sells on any beacon, recorded as points of light.
  • Build the harbor: posts, comments and roles inside BeaconHarbor.

Straight answer on rewards: what light points become at mainnet is decided at mainnet. We promise the record will be honest and on-chain; we do not promise an airdrop. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.

03 · Standing

Your rank in the harbor is your wallet, not your word.

The same portfolio-based ranks that gate posting in BeaconHarbor apply to Lightkeepers. There is nothing to apply for and no form to fill: hold, build, and the rank follows automatically.

The Lightkeeper loop, in four moves.

1 · Jump Arc L1Any page, top rightYour wallet is on the chain (gas is test USDC from the faucet).
2 · Create a beacon/launchYou can take a token from a form to a live curve, with your dev post in the harbor.
3 · Trade the sky/exploreYour points of light land on other people’s arcs.
4 · Speak in the harbor/beaconharborYou are part of the community the mainnet will inherit.

Nothing is for sale today. There is no token sale, no whitelist to buy, no points package. The only way in is to show up and build, which is exactly the point.

05 · The handover

What day one of mainnet inherits from you.

  • A harbor that already talks: profiles, posts and ranks carry the same rules over.
  • A tested launchpad: the curve, fees and graduation will have run hundreds of times.
  • $LIGHT as launch #1: Arclight’s own token launches on its own arc, under the same rules as everyone else’s.
  • A record: the constellation of what every Lightkeeper actually did, on-chain.
