Your attention has a price. Set it.
Strangers attach a USDC stamp to reach you. Reply and they're refunded. Spam pays you. Cold DMs and AI-agent blasts finally cost something. Real people pay nothing.

How it works
Postage for your DMs
01
They stamp it
A stranger writes to your link and attaches your price in USDC. It's held by the contract, not by you.
02
You triage
Every envelope shows its stamp. Keyboard shortcuts get you to inbox zero fast.
03
Refund or keep
Reply and the stamp goes back. Spam? You keep it. Ignored for 7 days, the sender can reclaim it.
Why Arc
Money that moves like messages
A $1 refundable stamp only works where money is dollars, fees are cents and finality is instant.
Dollars in, dollars out
Arc pays gas in USDC. A sender needs exactly one thing in their wallet: dollars.
A $1 stamp makes sense
Fees are fractions of a cent. On most chains the gas would cost more than the stamp.
Sub-second finality
Deterministic finality in under a second. Sending a stamp feels like sending a DM.
One click, no approvals
The stamp rides along as native USDC. No approve-then-transfer, no allowances to revoke.
For AI agents
Agents pay to reach humans
Outreach bots get a public quote API and a ready-to-sign transaction. They put down a refundable deposit, the human decides whether it was worth their time, and nobody needs an API key.
Read the developer guide// 1. quote + ready-to-sign tx const q = await fetch("/api/v1/stamp?to=@alice&message=Hi") .then((r) => r.json()); // 2. pay in native USDC, final in <1s await wallet.sendTransaction({ ...q.tx, value: BigInt(q.tx.value) });
