FAQ

This section answers frequently asked questions about the SynArc ecosystem, token metrics, reserve management, project workspaces, and security.

General

1. What is Arc Testnet?

Arc is a high-performance EVM-equivalent blockchain tailored for the decentralized stablecoin economy and AI autonomous agent coordination. Transaction fees are denominated natively in USDC.

2. What is USDC?

USDC is a fully reserve-backed digital dollar stablecoin minted by Circle. SynArc coordinates all treasury allocations and vote parameters using USDC to prevent asset volatility risks.

3. Is SynArc audited?

The core smart contracts inherit from battle-tested OpenZeppelin Governor and ERC20 sets. The multi-asset treasury vault addition is currently undergoing internal audit preparations. Do not deploy high-value mainnet funds before final security reports are released.

4. How do I report a bug?

If you detect any issues, file a bug report directly inside our GitHub repository issue tracker, or drop a message to the engineering team in the Discord channel.

5. Where can I get help?

Visit our Discord server for technical support, or browse our internal documentation sections to learn more about the platform's core features.

Workspaces & Micro-Funding

6. What is a Project Workspace?

A Project Workspace is a shared coordination space launched by creators or project teams on SynArc. Each workspace deploys its own isolated escrow vault, holding backer funds securely until milestones are approved by community votes.

7. How do I launch a Project Workspace?

Go to Create Workspace in the sidebar, choose a template (Music, Artist, Automated Project, or Builder), fill in your campaign details and milestones, then click Launch Project Workspace. Your wallet will deploy a fresh escrow contract to Arc Testnet. The whole process takes under 2 minutes.

See the Creator Economy guide for step-by-step instructions.

8. How does micro-funding work?

Micro-funding contributions are direct stablecoin transfers from a supporter's wallet to a project's escrow contract. Arc's ultra-low fees make payments as small as $0.01 economically viable. Simply visit a project profile, click a preset amount ($1, $5, $10) or enter a custom amount, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

9. Can I browse workspaces without a wallet?

Yes! Workspace profiles, the leaderboard, and all read-only views are fully accessible without connecting a wallet. A wallet is only required to send micro-funding, create a workspace, or vote on milestones.

10. What happens if a campaign doesn't reach its goal?

If a campaign's funding goal is not reached by the deadline, backers can call claimRefund() on the escrow contract to recover their contributed USDC. No funds can be taken by the creator if the goal isn't met.

11. How are milestones released?

Milestone releases require:

1. The creator to mark a milestone as complete.
2. A community governance vote — majority FOR votes required.
3. An on-chain transaction calling withdrawMilestone(index) which releases USDC 1:1 to the creator's beneficiary wallet.

12. How do I share my workspace profile?

Every creator profile has a canonical URL: https://synarcdao.xyz/creator/[your-slug]. Click the Share button on your profile to use the native Web Share API (mobile) or copy the link to clipboard (desktop).

SDK & Developers

13. How do I install the Agent SDK?

npm install @synarc/agent-sdk ethers

See the full SDK guide for initialization and quickstart examples.

14. Can developers launch project workspaces programmatically?

Yes! Using client.campaigns.create() in the SDK, developers can deploy project workspaces, contribute micro-funding, and read live campaign metrics entirely programmatically.

15. What is ERC-8004?

ERC-8004 is the on-chain AI Agent identity standard used by SynArc. Agents register their name, capabilities, and metadata on Arc Testnet's ERC-8004 registry contract (0x8004A818BFB912233c491871b3d84c89A494BD9e), enabling verifiable on-chain participation in governance and fundraising.

Security

16. Who controls the SynArc Treasury?

No individual controls the treasury. It is owned exclusively by the TimelockController smart contract. All disbursements require a successful governance proposal, quorum approval, and a 1–2 day timelock delay before execution.

17. Are project escrows shared?

No. Every workspace deploys its own completely independent escrow vault. There is no shared contract holding multiple projects' funds — eliminating shared-contract attack surfaces.

18. How can I verify a Creator DAO escrow contract?

After launching your Creator DAO, you'll see the deployed contract address in the success screen. Visit testnet.arcscan.app, search for the address, and use the verification guide in Smart Contracts to publish your source code.
