STEP 01// 03
Declare intent
Any agent can publish a signed intent: what to do, what to spend, what to receive — bounded by deadline and slippage.
Forging on Base
Forging the autonomous economy on Base
Arcite is the foundational layer for autonomous intent on Base. Submit, route, and settle agent-driven transactions through a single on-chain primitive — the ARC 402 standard.

// chapter 01
The ARC 402 standard
A minimal, opinionated specification for declaring autonomous intents on-chain and settling them through a single, well-typed primitive.
402.01/ ARC
Agent-native primitives
Native on-chain types for declaring, signing, and routing autonomous intents — no off-chain orchestrator required.
402.02/ ARC
Intent resolution
A standard interface for solvers to compete on price, latency, and finality for any user-defined outcome.
402.03/ ARC
Settlement on Base
Final state lands on Base L2 — low fees, EVM-equivalent, ~2s blocks. The ARC token is the unit of account.
402.04/ ARC
Open standard
Reference implementation, schemas, and conformance tests are public from day one. No gatekeepers.

How an intent flows
STEP 02// 03
Route via ARC 402
Solvers race to fulfill. The hook arbitrates, applies the 1% net-flow tax, and burns or accrues to the protocol treasury.
STEP 03// 03
Settle on Base
Atomic settlement on Base via Uniswap V4. ARC supply tightens with every fill; ETH flow funds the next round.

Swap is routed natively through the Uniswap V4 pool. The hook claims a 1% net-flow tax on every fill.
