Get & hold $ARX
Fund a wallet with $ARX to pay for builds — and lower your per-build rate by holding more.
$ARX is the metering unit of the network. You need a balance to run builds, and holding more lowers your effective price. This guide covers acquiring and holding it.
1. Set up a Solana wallet
If you don't already have one, install a Solana wallet — Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack — and back up your recovery phrase. Your wallet is your account; there's nothing else to register.
2. Acquire $ARX
$ARX is an SPL token on Solana. Acquire it on a supported exchange or DEX and withdraw it to your wallet address.
3. Connect to ArxCode
arxcode login --wallet
arxcode balance
arxcode balance shows your available $ARX and your current per-build rate tier.
4. Hold to lower your rate
Because of hold-for-discount, a larger balance reduces the per-build rate across every product. The same compute costs a committed holder less than a one-time user.
Builds estimate their $ARX cost up front and settle the actual amount on completion — you only ever pay for compute that was delivered.
