Mine ARCORE with USDC.
Commit USDC into the open 10-minute round to mine ARCORE pro-rata, claim your reward once the round resolves, and redeem any time to burn ARCORE for your pro-rata slice of the USDC floor (net of the 5% protocol fee).
Commit USDC into the open 10-minute round. 95% of your commit deepens the redeemable floor for every holder (a 5% protocol fee is skimmed); ARCORE is minted to you at resolve, pro-rata by your USDC share.
No token is minted at commit, your share is only knowable once the 10-minute round closes (kills peek-then-withdraw). A fixed 5% fee in USDC is skimmed on commit (1% keeper / 1% dev / 3% staking) and never enters the reserve; the other 95% is your redeemable backing. Commits are irrevocable.
Mint the ARCORE you earned from resolved epochs (pro-rata by your USDC share). Claiming is floor-neutral: owed supply simply becomes circulating.
Anyone can poke() to resolve fully-elapsed epochs, it's permissionless and idempotent. Rewards only become claimable after their epoch resolves.
Burn ARCORE for a pro-rata slice of the USDC reserve, the guaranteed exit, any time, forever, depending on no external system. You receive 95% (a 5% exit fee applies); the amount below is net of that fee.
Redemption is slippage-free and pro-rata, it can never drain the reserve below intrinsic backing, and every rounding leaves dust in the reserve, so the floor only ratchets up. A fixed 5% exit fee (1% keeper / 1% dev / 3% staking) is taken from your gross pro-rata slice; the “You receive” figure above is already net. Even the terminal redeem of the whole supply charges the 5% fee.
