# Circle³ (C3)

> Circle³ ("Circle Cubed", ticker C3) is a token on the Arc blockchain (chain id 5042) with a fixed supply of 333. Every C3 is held as three component tokens (cUSD, cEUR, cBTC) and a wallet's C3 balance is their sum. Each component earns the trading fees of one permanently locked Topaz Dex liquidity position, paid in C3 and that pool's paired asset. There is no staking: holding is enough. It is an independent community token, not issued or endorsed by the issuers of USDC, EURC or cirBTC, or by Topaz.

The community mission is to make one whole C3 trade above one whole Bitcoin, measured by price per coin, not market cap. It is an ambition, not a forecast or a promise. C3 is built on Arc, the blockchain from Circle, and is paired only with three assets issued by Circle: USDC, EURC and cirBTC (Circle Wrapped Bitcoin). There is no affiliation with or endorsement by Circle.

Key facts:

- C3 token: `0x3333f23800A32dE29Cc102ff1a6eE90b3E413333` on Arc mainnet (chain id 5042), 18 decimals, total supply 333, verified source.
- Buy and sell on Topaz Dex: https://topazdex.com/swap?chain=arc&outputChain=arc&inputCurrency=0x3600000000000000000000000000000000000000&outputCurrency=0x3333f23800A32dE29Cc102ff1a6eE90b3E413333
- Three primary pools (Topaz concentrated liquidity, tick spacing 200, 0.30% fee): C3/USDC, C3/EURC, C3/cirBTC. Each launched with 111 C3 and no paired asset, starting near $100 per C3.
- Buying C3 from a primary pool delivers equal thirds of cUSD, cEUR and cBTC. Selling retires components in proportion to the seller's mix.
- cUSD holders earn C3 + USDC, cEUR holders earn C3 + EURC, cBTC holders earn C3 + cirBTC. Rewards are real trading fees and are not guaranteed.
- The liquidity cannot be withdrawn. The C3 contract owns the three position NFTs, has no owner, no upgrade path, and can only collect fees.
- Components are shares of C3 ownership, not dollars, euros or bitcoin.
