For projects

Send us players,
earn on every spin.

If your token is a reward on Arcade, you can earn a share of what the platform makes. You are paid per spin you send us — not per spin that happens to pay out your token.

The rate

$0.05 per referred spin

A spin costs 2 USDC. Rewards are sized to return roughly 77% of that, and half of what is left buys $ARCADE on the open market and burns it. This rate is paid out of the remainder, which is why it is five cents and not fifty.

The basis

Why we pay on referrals, not on outcomes.

The intuitive design is to pay you when a spin lands on your token. We do not do that, and the reason matters if you are deciding whether this is worth your time.

Which token a spin pays is random, in proportion to a weight we set. If your token holds 4% of the table, it wins about 4% of spins — whether you promote Arcade to fifty thousand people or to nobody at all. Under an outcome-based split, a project that brought a thousand players would collect on forty of those spins and hand the other nine hundred and sixty to everyone else.

It would also give every project a reason to argue for a bigger weight, and those arguments would eventually win. Paying on referrals keeps the reward table out of that conversation entirely.

Limits

What this does not buy.

Not for sale

A place in the reward table

Admission is decided by the checks published on the rewards page, and the table is capped at 24 tiers by the contract — so adding a token now means removing one. Paying us nothing and paying us something get a token into that table on exactly the same terms: none.

Not for sale

A larger share of the odds

Weights are set to hold the published rarity split and to keep every common paying a similar amount in dollars. They are re-checked against live prices and changed when they drift. Revenue share is not an input to that.

A token can also be removed from the table while its project is earning. Beancat was removed on 2026-09-29 after its daily volume fell to roughly $530, against published thresholds it had passed when it was admitted. Earning revenue would not have changed that, and the rule is written down here so it cannot be argued about later.

Mechanics

How a spin gets attributed to you.

Attribution
A referral code in the link you share, recorded against the wallet that spins.
Counted from
Settled spins onchain. A refunded or unsettled spin earns nothing.
Paid
Monthly, in USDC or $ARCADE — your choice.
Published
Spins referred, amount owed and the payment transaction, per project.

Attribution is off-chain today. The spin function takes no referrer argument, so putting this onchain needs a new machine contract, and we would rather find out whether anyone wants it before writing one. The ledger is published either way, and the spin counts in it can be checked against the chain by anyone who disagrees with them.

Scale

Arcade is early.

The machine has been live for days, not months, and the rate above is worth what that implies. This is a set of published terms fixed in advance, for a platform you think will be busier later — not income today.

We would rather you took it on that basis than on a projection. Every spin is onchain and the rate is five cents, so the arithmetic is available to you now and at any point after — which is the reason to agree terms while they are simple.

Start

If your token is already a reward.

Get in touch and we will issue a referral code. If your token is not in the table yet, the checks it has to pass — and the ones other tokens failed and were admitted anyway, with the reasons — are all on the rewards page.
