Arc has launched a 10,000 USDC micro-grant program supporting early-stage development on its mainnet. Twenty eligible projects will each receive 500 USDC for mini-apps, prototypes, proofs of concept or other technical experiments. Applicants must submit a deployable link and a public code repository by October 14, with selected recipients scheduled to be announced by October 21. The grants are non-dilutive and require no equity, intellectual property transfer or exclusivity.
