ARC token community: holders verified by wallet

What ARC (AI Rig Complex) is on Solana, where its holders talk today, and how a Cherry room gated by the real ARC mint checks every member.

Cherry Team Published Updated 6 min read

The ARC token community is the crowd that formed around AI Rig Complex, a Rust framework for building AI agents, whose token trades on Solana as an SPL token at mint 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump. More than 45,500 wallets held ARC on 12 September 2026, spread across a Telegram group, an X account and price screens where a member list says nothing about who holds anything. Cherry (cherry.fun) is a wallet-to-wallet messenger and community app for crypto: you sign in with a wallet, DM any address, and join group chats that read the chain themselves. Cherry runs an ARC holders room at chat.cherry.fun/@arc , gated by an ARC balance. Cherry is not affiliated with the Arc team.

What ARC is

AI Rig Complex grew out of rig, an open-source Rust library for building applications on top of language models, published by Playgrounds Analytics. Two other parts sit around it: Ryzome, an app store that connects agents to outside services through one standard interface, and Arc Forge, a launchpad that issues tokens for new agent projects through Meteora’s dynamic liquidity pools. ARC is the token those parts settle fees in.

As of 12 September 2026:

  • Chain and standard: Solana, SPL token under the SPL Token program, six decimals.
  • Mint: 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump, with mint and freeze authorities disabled, so no new supply can appear there and no balance can be frozen.
  • Launch: minted on pump.fun, first pool 10 December 2024, graduated to a full pool the same evening.
  • Supply: 999,982,685 ARC circulating against a 1,000,000,000 maximum. At launch 90% went to the public, 5.5% to prize pools for participants and 4.5% to the team on a one-year vest.
  • Market cap: about $73.8 million.
  • Holders: 45,511 wallets.

ARC set its all-time high on 21 January 2025, when Solana AI-agent tokens were at their loudest, and the market cap above is a fraction of that peak. The largest wallets still hold roughly 45% of supply, which is worth knowing before anyone treats a chat as consensus.

Where the ARC token community talks today

Arc’s public channels, as of September 2026, are its site at arc.fun , a Telegram group and the @arcdotfun account on X. None of them can separate a holder from a visitor.

A Telegram group admits anyone with a phone number, so a wallet holding six figures of ARC and an impostor with a copied avatar sit in the same member list. The usual fix elsewhere is a verify bot: leave the server, sign a message on a third-party site, come back with a role. That loop is also the shape of the most common Solana phishing attack.

Two unrelated projects trade as ARC. This one is the Solana mint above; the other is an ERC-20 on Ethereum at 0x672fdba7055bddfa8fd6bd45b1455ce5eb97f499. A room that gates by ticker mixes the two audiences. A room that gates by mint cannot.

ARC holders on Cherry

Cherry opened an ARC Holders room at chat.cherry.fun/@arc on 11 September 2026. Cherry created it and runs it: this is Cherry’s holders room, not the Arc team’s channel, and Cherry is not affiliated with the ARC team. Entry is one token balance rule against the mint above, minimum 1 ARC. On 12 September 2026 the room was public, with one member and no reviews.

Every name in that member list passed an on-chain check run by the app. Nobody sends you a verify link, and members are re-checked in the background, so a wallet that sells out loses access. From the room a holder can DM any wallet address , including wallets that have never opened Cherry. Type $ARC in the composer and the message renders a token card with price and market cap, with swaps powered by Jupiter. Larger deals go through OTC escrow in the Cherry mobile app, where a program settles both legs atomically and refunds a deal that times out. An airdrop campaign can check the same balance before it pays.

Cherry’s mini apps are web apps that run inside a chat with the user’s wallet and room context, so an agent builder can demo one to holders without asking anyone to install something.

How to create an ARC-gated room

  1. Open chat.cherry.fun and sign in with a Solana wallet. The wallet signs a message: no gas, nothing on-chain.
  2. Create a group with a name, description and handle, and set it public so it gets a storefront page.
  3. Add an access requirement of the token-balance type and paste the mint 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump. Confirm the symbol resolves to ARC before you save.
  4. Set the minimum. 1 ARC admits any holder; a higher minimum narrows the room to real positions. A group takes up to five rules under all (every rule passes) or any (one is enough).
  5. Share the room link. Visitors see the requirement, and whether their own wallet passes it, before they join.

The full walkthrough is how to create a token-gated group chat , and reaching token holders covers what to do once the room fills.

Risks and disclaimers

ARC came out of a pump.fun mint in December 2024, most of its supply went out at launch, and concentration at the top is high. A balance gate proves a wallet held the minimum when the check ran, and nothing about the person behind that wallet, so scam links and impersonation still need moderators who can mute and ban. Group chats on Cherry are not end-to-end encrypted, by design, so moderation and bots can work; DMs are end-to-end encrypted with keys derived from your wallet. Every figure here is dated 12 September 2026 and moves constantly. Nothing here is financial advice. Tokens can lose value.

FAQ

Is the ARC Holders room on Cherry run by the Arc team?

No. Cherry created and runs the room at chat.cherry.fun/@arc, and Cherry is not affiliated with the Arc team. It is a room for holders whose wallets pass the balance check, and it does not speak for the project.

Which ARC does the gate check?

The Solana mint 61V8vBaqAGMpgDQi4JcAwo1dmBGHsyhzodcPqnEVpump, the AI Rig Complex token. A separate project also trades as ARC on Ethereum, and a room built on a mint never admits the wrong crowd.

How much ARC do I need to join the Cherry room?

At least 1 ARC in the wallet you sign in with. An owner running their own ARC room can set any minimum.

What happens if I sell my ARC?

Membership in a gated public group is re-checked on-chain in the background. A wallet that drops below the minimum is paywalled: it stays in the group, and message content is withheld until the balance is back.

Where does the ARC community talk officially?

As of September 2026, Arc points people to its site at arc.fun, a Telegram group and the @arcdotfun account on X. None of those check what a wallet holds before somebody posts.
