Lens AI
Lens AI is the agent at the center of ArcLens — and our mascot. It used to be a chatbox you could ask about projects. Now it has a wallet, and it pays the builders it learns from.
What it does
Ask it anything about Arc. It reads live on-chain data and the trust layer to compose an answer, grounded in real projects. Then it does the part nobody else does: it pays the verified builders whose work grounded that answer — a fraction of a cent in USDC, settled on Arc, with a clickable receipt.
The payment isn’t income — at these amounts it’s a signal. The ecosystem’s own AI, publicly and on-chain, vouching for the teams that proved useful.
How payouts stay honest
Every payout is:
- Trust-gated — only Verified, Established, or Claimed Arc-native builders. Never infrastructure, the chain, or risk-flagged projects.
- Capped — per answer and per day.
- De-duplicated — the same asker can’t repeatedly fund the same builder within a 24h window.
- Accrue-to-claim — if a trusted builder hasn’t connected a wallet yet, earnings accrue and are held until they claim them.
