What is ARC Terminal?
ARC Terminal is a trading app for perpetual futures that starts with Hyperliquid. It offers 387 markets covering crypto, US stocks, gold and forex from a single account, and orders placed in it go straight to Hyperliquid. ARC states that it never holds user funds and that closing a trade is never blocked.
Its distinctive piece is ANIMA, ARC's AI. Instead of reading a chart, a trader types a request such as "Long SOL, risk $40", and ANIMA proposes the entry, the stop and the size. Nothing is placed until the trader presses Confirm. A Feed of cards sits beside it, each card describing one event in one market, such as a large bet by a big investor.
ARC describes its aim as an AI-native exchange, and says more exchanges and more markets are planned. The app is not available to residents of the United Kingdom, the United States or Canada.
How ARC Terminal works
ARC makes a card in its Feed whenever something worth knowing happens in a market, for example a whale bet, a pile of positions near forced closure or a key price level. A trader either takes a card or describes a trade to ANIMA. The trader sets the most a trade can lose, ANIMA works out how much to put in, and the order goes to Hyperliquid once the trader confirms. Funds stay in the trader's own account.
Season 0 is the points campaign. The ARC homepage reads a connected wallet's last 90 days on Hyperliquid, listing the fees paid and any liquidations, and asks for no signature because it reads only what Hyperliquid already publishes. ARC points are claimed for those fees. After that, every trade on ARC adds points and moves the trader up a lifetime leaderboard.
A 13 October 2026 post says points already earned are eligible for ARC's future incentive programs, and that time spent on the app counts toward future rewards. ARC has not named a token, a launch date, an end date for Season 0 or a rate for turning fees into points.
