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