### When are we Launching? <a href="#id-06b7" id="id-06b7"></a>

The IDO is set to happen on ARCO IDO platforms (<https://idoarcoprotocol.io/>) between 29th and 31th of October (48 hours). We’ll keep everyone posted with the exact details on time when finalized.

### How much $ARC is available? <a href="#b6f6" id="b6f6"></a>

### $ARC claiming process: <a href="#e08d" id="e08d"></a>

Tokens will be claimable right after contributing and will be listed on Aptos DEXs (Pontem, HoustonSwap, Aptoswap, etc.) shortly thereafter. $ARC will also be listed on centralized exchanges (Houbi, OKX, gate) by the mid of November.

### $ARC sale and listing price: <a href="#id-8f81" id="id-8f81"></a>

We will list $ARC on multiple DEX and provide initial liquidity (locked) right after IDO ends. The listing price will be 0.1 APT.

As we approach the exciting IDO event, we are truly grateful for the early support that Arco family members have given us! In order to express our gratitude, we have decided to give one “ARCO PASS” to every IDO participant! (Total supply is 5000 and will be minted on Topaz)
