$arc just released its whitepaper v1. Here are some key details:

arc's next step in building AI agent infrastructure is Ryzome.

Ryzome is "The Agentic App Store" connecting AI agents to thousands of digital services.

Ryzome uses Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard interface allowing agents to access Web2 and Web3 services.

Service fees for transactions will be settled in $arc, and revenue distribution is as follows:
> 85% to service providers
> 10% to Arc treasury
> 5% to Playgrounds operations

That is the main utility (plus revenue sharing w/ $arc) — but you could also argue its a representation of ownership or the future success of the arc project (much like governance tokens).

So $arc is simply a proxy token to pay for LLM services? And agents I guess.
