We launch first, on the same rules.
Lightkeepers are the people who registered, launched and traded here before Arc mainnet opened. The rule has not changed now that value is real: standing comes from what your wallet does, never from what you claim.
A launchpad that opens all at once gets taken.
BeaconHarbor was built before Arc mainnet opened, in public, on the testnet, where the queue and the curve that run here now were first exercised with real transactions. The queue exists because a launchpad that opens all at once is taken by the fastest script in the block. Every launch registers on-chain and waits its turn instead, and the order is a number anyone can check.
- Built in public, and tested on Arc testnet with real transactions: the queue, the curve and the tax.
- One line for everyone. The contract only lets the head of the line launch, and nobody can pay to move.
- No dates are promised. Mainnet moves when Arc moves.
$BEACON trades under the same rules.
BeaconHarbor's own token is launch one on BeaconHarbor. It goes through the same six-step form, the same curve, the same max wallet, the same per-block budget and the same tax choice as any other beacon. There is no presale, no private allocation and no special terms, because the contract has no way to give any.
- Registered by the founder wallet written into the queue contract, which is the only address a genesis registration is accepted from.
- The ticker BEACON is reserved on-chain, so nobody can launch a second one.
- Standard registrations open the moment $BEACON is trading, so nothing launches ahead of it and nothing is held back after it.
- The one rule genesis cannot follow is the holding requirement. The 1,000 $BEACON a registration holds does not exist until genesis trades, so genesis holds nothing, and the reserved ticker takes that job instead.
No launch id is promised We will not tell you which registration number $BEACON gets. The contract makes it the first launch, and the number it is written under is the chain's answer, not ours.
Things this site will never do.
- Invent a number. Holders, volume and trades are read from the chain, and a preview built from sample data says so on the same line.
- Sell a place in the queue, or hold one back. Paid priority does not exist in the contracts.
- Show an audit badge, a partner logo or a listing we do not have.
- Promise a price, a return or a date.
No audit The contracts have not been reviewed by an outside security firm. Read them, and size every position here as money you chose to put at risk.
What you did is on the chain, not in a scoreboard we keep.
Light points are how we talk about a Lightkeeper's record. They are not a balance: nothing on BeaconHarbor mints them and no page shows a total, because a score we could edit would be worth nothing. What exists is the public record, and it is complete: every registration, every launch, every trade, and everything you post in the harbor.
Straight answer on rewards There is no airdrop and no allocation promised. If that record is ever read for something, the rule will be published before it counts, and it will be computed from what the chain already shows. Anyone quoting you a number today is selling something.
The Lightkeeper loop, in five moves.
| Move | Where | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| Jump Arc L1 | Any page, top right | Your wallet is on the chain, with gas in USDC from the same balance you trade with. |
| Register a beacon | /launch | You took a token from a six-step form to a place in the on-chain line. |
| Watch it light | /queue | You know what a round looks like before it is your turn. |
| Trade the curves | /explore | Your points of light land on other people's arcs. |
| Speak in the harbor | /harbor | You are part of the community that mainnet inherits. |
No token is sold outside its curve. There is no presale, no whitelist to buy and no points package.
What day one of mainnet inherits.
- A queue that ran end to end on Arc testnet before mainnet opened: rounds, cancellations, refunds and the claim path, all with real transactions.
- A harbor that already talks: profiles, posts and ranks carry over unchanged.
- A tested launchpad: the curve, the tax, the max wallet and the per-block budget, each with real transactions behind it, and graduation onto Uniswap v4, tested against Uniswap's own contracts on a local chain.
- $BEACON on its own launchpad, under the rules above.
- A public record of what every Lightkeeper actually did.
