StockLayer is a synthetic-equity layer and a launchpad on Arc. Everything is on-chain Uniswap v3; the site is just the exchange.
Arc launched with no tokenized equities. For each of the 153 Robinhood-listed names, StockLayer deploys an ERC-20 on Arc and opens a single-sided Uniswap v3 pool against USDC, seeded at the real quote. That gives the name a live on-chain price. It is a synthetic reference that tracks the equity on a curve — it is not the real share, carries no ownership, and pays no dividend.
You pick a synthetic stock as your quote. One transaction deploys your coin, creates a coin/stock v3 pool, and places the entire 1B supply as single-sided liquidity above spot — a bonding curve with no seed capital. The first buyer walks the price up. You never buy your own coin, and StockLayer holds the LP forever, so the liquidity cannot be pulled.
Every trade in your coin pays a 1% pool fee, denominated in the synthetic stock it is quoted in. A keeper claims those fees each round and distributes them to holders, weighted by balance. Holders are effectively paid in NVDA, TSLA or whichever equity your coin references. 20% of each claim goes to the creator, 80% to holders.
Arc is a USDC-native chain (gas is USDC) with sub-second blocks. There is no public DEX interface or block explorer yet, so StockLayer is also the exchange: buys and sells route straight through the layer contract against each coin’s own pool. Prices come from the pool ratio, not an oracle.
