ArcPass launch week

This week, ArcPass shipped its first public release: an end-to-end sponsorship platform that covers the first transaction for new Arc Network wallets.

​
New features

  • Sponsorship platform MVP — Submit a wallet address and receive native tokens for your first Arc Network transaction. See Request sponsorship to get started.
  • On-chain sponsorship registry — Every completed sponsorship is now recorded on Arc testnet through the SponsorshipRegistry contract, so you can verify any grant independently. Learn more in Smart contracts.
  • Automatic relay execution — Approved sponsorship requests are picked up by the relay and delivered to your wallet with no further action required. Read about the flow in How it works.
  • End-to-end sponsored execution — The full lifecycle from request through approved, relayed, and completed is now live. See Sponsorship lifecycle.
  • Public REST API — Wallet registration, sponsorship requests, status lookups, and relay endpoints are available. Browse the API reference.
  • Sponsorship dashboard — Track requests and verify on-chain delivery from the dashboard.

​
Updates

  • Production hardening — Stricter input validation, per-wallet and per-IP rate limits, and improved error responses across the API. See Rate limits.
  • Runtime validation suite — Added end-to-end runtime checks so service health and configuration are continuously verified.
  • Standardized API proxy — Unified the request path so the frontend and external integrations share a single, consistent API surface.

​
Fixes

  • Stabilized the sponsorship flow and runtime configuration loading, reducing failed requests during high traffic.
  • Fixed worker runtime issues on the Arc testnet configuration so relayed transactions land reliably.
  • Resolved status-tracking edge cases where requests could stall between approved and relayed.
