FAQ
Questions? Answered.
Short answers. No fine print.
Basics
What is ArcLock?
A non-custodial app on Arc to lock, burn and vest tokens. Every record gets a public proof page.
How does a lock work?
Pick a token, amount and unlock date. Only the owner can withdraw, at or after that date. You can extend a lock, never shorten it.
How does vesting work?
Tokens unlock linearly from start to end. Nothing is claimable before the cliff. Schedules cannot be cancelled.
What does a burn do?
It sends tokens to the dead address for good and records exactly how much left.
Can I hand a lock or schedule to someone else?
Yes. You propose a new address and that address accepts.

Live fees, block 21555818, 2026-09-18 20:36:44 UTC. Network cost about 0.01 USDC.
What does it cost?
A flat USDC fee plus a small percentage in tokens, paid once when you create something. Withdrawing, claiming and extending are free.
Can fees change after I sign?
No. If fees change before your transaction runs, it fails instead of charging more. Existing positions never change.
Why did my transaction fail with a fee message?
The fee changed while you were signing. Refresh and try again. You were not charged.
Safety
Can the admin move or unlock my tokens?
No. The admin can only set future fees, change the fee collector and hand over the admin role.
Are the contracts audited?
Not by a third party yet. They are heavily tested, and every setting can be checked live on the Security page.
What if Circle blocklists a contract?
USDC inside that contract would be frozen. Other tokens are not affected.
Tokens and limits
Can I lock liquidity pool tokens?
Yes, classic v2-style LP tokens. NFT positions such as Uniswap v4 are not supported.
What about tokens with a transfer fee?
The record shows what actually arrived. For burns, the dead address receives a bit less.
Are rebasing or taxed tokens supported?
No. They can leave the last withdrawal of that token short.
