Question 1

Is ARL for sale?

Accepted Answer

ARL is live on Base Mainnet. The only official contract is 0xde91E6f39D50bBd875f831dcc1134A3D7f3aaDb4; it trades in the official Uniswap v3 pools on Base (see How to get ARL). Any other address presented as ARL is not official. Tokens can lose all their value, and nothing here is investment advice.

Question 2

What is ARL for?

Accepted Answer

ARL is the native utility token for decentralized AI and compute services: AI services paid per use, GPU and CPU capacity paid per second, and staking. The token, the verified jobs escrows (paid in ARL or USDC, with staked ARL validators) and the compute payment contract are live on Base Mainnet, and the ARL app runs at arlcoin.io/app. Staking is deployed and opens when its first reward period is funded.

Question 3

What is the maximum supply?

Accepted Answer

21,000,000 ARL. The whole supply is minted once at deployment and split into 11 allocations. The token contract has no owner, no mint function, no pause and no upgrade path.

Question 4

Does registering on the whitelist guarantee an allocation?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no airdrop at the launch. An airdrop of 500,000 ARL is planned for a later date; its date, eligibility and rules will be announced on arlcoin.io, X @arlprotocol and the Telegram community. Registration is free and no payment is requested.

Question 5

Why would an AI developer pay with ARL instead of existing payment methods?

Accepted Answer

Because of what happens to the money, not the token itself. A job paid through ARL sits in an on-chain escrow (ERC-8183) and is released only after a staked validator committee has checked the result, with a challenge window before payout; compute is paid per second and stops when the work stops. There are no chargebacks, no accounts to open with each provider and no intermediary holding the funds. ARL does not replace card payments for everything: it fits paying agents and providers you do not know. Escrowed, verified jobs run on Base Mainnet today.

Question 6

Why would a GPU provider accept ARL for capacity?

Accepted Answer

The client escrows the whole amount before the work starts, and the provider earns it second by second (ComputePayment) or on approval of the job (ARLJobs), so it never works on credit and cannot be charged back. Payment is settled on Base within seconds, with no invoicing or payment processor. A provider decides for itself whether to accept ARL; no provider is paid in ARL on Base Mainnet yet.

Question 7

Will buyers actually use ARL, or only hold it to sell?

Accepted Answer

Both will happen; no token can prevent speculation. ARL has uses that spend it or lock it: paying for AI services and compute, staking, and validator stake on the verified evaluator, where each accepted job locks a bond that is burned if the validator misbehaves. How much ARL is used rather than held depends on real usage, which does not exist on Base Mainnet yet; the app publishes the network's jobs, stake and slashing so this can be checked rather than claimed.

Question 8

What net revenue does the protocol earn per transaction?

Accepted Answer

Today, zero. The jobs escrow, the compute payment stream and the verified evaluator charge no protocol fee: the full amount goes from client to provider, and slashed bonds are burned, not collected. A validator fee paid by the client and shared among the voting validators is a published design for a later phase (docs/verifiable-execution.md); any fee would need new contracts and would be announced before it applies.

Question 9

How do circulating supply and selling pressure change as demand grows?

Accepted Answer

The supply is fixed at 21,000,000 ARL with no minting, so demand cannot be met by issuing new tokens. At TGE the Founder's 2,100,000 ARL is unlocked and may be sold (this is disclosed). The launch pools hold ARL that leaves them only when buyers pay in. Investor, partnership and team allocations unlock after a 12-month cliff over 36 months, and treasury balances are not circulating until spent. Staked ARL stays circulating but is not for sale while staked, and validator bonds are locked while a job runs.

Question 10

Which blockchain will ARL use?

Accepted Answer

Base. ARL is an ERC-20 token on Base Mainnet (chain 8453), and the ARL app at arlcoin.io/app runs on Base Mainnet too.

Question 11

When is the launch?

Accepted Answer

ARL launched on Base Mainnet on 24 October 2026: the token, the vesting wallets and the treasury timelock are deployed and source-verified on Basescan. The TGE date for every vesting schedule is 23 October 2026.

Question 12

After the launch, can I sell ARL on a DEX?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the token has no transfer tax, blacklist or pause. The launch pools on Uniswap start with ARL only, priced from 0.20 USD: buyers pay USDC, USDT, ETH or BTC into them, and a seller can sell back only as much as buyers have paid in, never below 0.20 USD. Right after the launch a pool may therefore have little to pay sellers until buying starts.

Question 13

Is ARL Protocol the same as other tokens called ARL?

Accepted Answer

No. ARL Protocol (arlcoin.io) is the ERC-20 token on Base described on this site, with a fixed supply of 21,000,000. It is not related to other projects or tokens that also use the ticker ARL on Solana, Ethereum or BNB Chain. Check the contract address on arlcoin.io before you interact with any ARL token.

Question 14

What are the official channels?

Accepted Answer

Only these: the website arlcoin.io, X @arlprotocol, the Telegram channel t.me/arlprotocol_community with its chat t.me/arlprotocol_chat, and the email address team@arlcoin.io. Any other account claiming to be ARL is not official.

Question 15

How do I delete my whitelist registration?

Accepted Answer

Ask through the contact form or write to team@arlcoin.io from the email address you registered with. The registration is then deleted, as described in the privacy notice.

Question 16

Will ARL ever ask for my private key or seed phrase?

Accepted Answer

Never. ARL will never ask for your private key, your seed phrase or a payment. Anyone who does is attempting theft.

Question 17

How do I contact the team?

Accepted Answer

Use the contact form or write to team@arlcoin.io. Report security vulnerabilities privately by email with “Security” in the subject.
