Trade thestory.

How ARC’s cards turn what is moving the markets into trades, what ANIMA does with them, and where ARC goes next.

Every move in a market starts with a story. A pattern forming. A headline. A big investor putting millions on one side. By the time most traders hear about it, the move is over.

ARC is built to put you in front of the story while it is still happening, and to turn it into a trade you can place in one press. This is how it works, and where it goes next.

Trade the story. The Feed finds the stories. ANIMA turns them into trades.

A card for every story

Most trading screens show you everything at once: hundreds of numbers, dozens of charts, and nothing to tell you which one matters right now.

ARC does the opposite. It watches nearly 300 markets, and when something worth knowing happens in one of them, it makes a card. You swipe through the cards in your Feed. Each one is one thing, in one market, happening now.

Step 1: find a trade. Swipe through the ideas ANIMA finds. Pick one.
A card in ARC’s Feed: a whale is betting $114.9M that HYPE goes higher, with 5x leverage, the chart marking where the whale got in and where it would be forced out, and ANIMA beside it.
A real card from the Feed, with ANIMA beside it. Prices from Hyperliquid.

Every card is built the same way:

  • One sentence that says what is happening, with the number: “A whale is betting $114.9M that HYPE goes higher, with 5x leverage.”
  • The chart with the prices that matter drawn on it: where the whale got in, where it would be forced out, the highest and lowest prices of the week.
  • ANIMA’s read in one line, and an Ask ANIMA key for anything else you want to know.
  • Two keys to act. Long, a bet the price goes higher. Short, a bet it goes lower. On a whale card, Follow the whale, or Fade it to bet against it.

What the cards look for

ANIMA spots patterns forming, and puts each one in your Feed as a trade idea.ANIMA watches big investors. When they move, you see it in your Feed.
  • Big investorsOne bet of $5M or more, close enough to the price that would force it to close for that to matter.
  • Forced closesPiles of bets that would be forced to close if the price reaches them.
  • Key pricesThe highest and lowest of the week and of yesterday, when the price is near one or has just crossed it.
  • Big waiting ordersLarge orders to buy or to sell, sitting at one price.
  • SignalsWhen several readings of a market point the same way.
  • ARC’s setupsOur own trade setups, when the price comes near one.
  • The newsThe stories moving a market, and how the price has moved since.
  • The big pictureThemes forming across many markets at once.

There are cards for big moves, for what it costs to hold a trade, for trading suddenly picking up, and for what the accounts we follow on X are saying about a market, too.

Only what is true right now

We hold every card to three rules.

  • Facts, not forecasts. A card says where a price is or what it did, with the number and where it came from. Never where it is going.
  • No made-up numbers. If a source does not answer, there is no card. We would rather show you nothing than guess.
  • Some cards do not pick a side. The news, the big picture and what people are saying on X tell you what is happening, and leave the call to you.

The Feed also learns what you like. Take a card or pass on one and the next ones change, and it still shows you something new now and then, so it never closes in on one kind of trade.

Perps, with AI that does the work

Perps let you bet on whether a price goes higher or lower, with leverage, and keep the trade open for as long as you want. They are where active traders spend their day. They are also fast, full of noise, and easy to get wrong.

That is what ANIMA, ARC’s AI, is for.

Meet ANIMA: ARC’s AI. It turns your idea into a trade.
  • ANIMA reads the market for you. The news, the big investors and the key prices, in plain words.
  • ANIMA builds the trade. Pick a card, or say what you want in one sentence: “Long SOL, risk $40.” ANIMA sets where you get in, where you take profit, and your safety exit if the price turns.
  • ANIMA sizes it to your risk. You choose how much a trade can lose, and ANIMA works out how much to put in.
  • You make the call. Nothing is placed until you press. Then your order goes straight to Hyperliquid.
ANIMA builds the trade: from one sentence, the entry, the safety exit, the amount.ANIMA sets your safety exit: where you get out if the price turns, set before you get in.You set the risk. ANIMA sizes the trade to match it.

The order itself is four things: what you put in, the leverage, what you make if it works, and what you lose if it does not. Everything else is one key away.

Three taps. That is it. Find a trade, tell ANIMA, press to confirm.
Your money stays in your account. ARC never holds your funds.

Where ARC goes next

ARC starts with perps on Hyperliquid. It does not end there.

  • One terminal, many exchanges. More exchanges are coming, all traded from the same place.
  • More markets. Crypto, stocks, gold and more, from one balance, with more being added.
  • The Trader Chamber. A home on ARC for the traders who trade the most.
  • Ambassadors trading live, with their real results.
  • Competitions with real prize pools, paid in stablecoins.
  • Rewards that remember you. Every trade earns points. Points you have already earned are eligible for our future incentive programs, and all the time you have spent on ARC counts towards future rewards.
One app. Many markets. And more being added.Points on every trade. Every trade adds to your total.

The aim is bigger than one app. ARC is building the AI-native exchange: you bring the idea and ARC does the work, from finding the trade to placing it, in every market worth trading. The cards are where that starts.

The AI-native exchange. You bring the idea. ARC does the work.
