Is ACTFUN on mainnet?
Is ACTFUN on mainnet?
No. ACTFUN currently runs on Arc Testnet only (Chain ID
5042002). There is no mainnet deployment at this time. All activity token creation, mining, trading, and refunds takes place on the testnet.Do I need real money to use ACTFUN ?
Do I need real money to use ACTFUN ?
No. ACTFUN uses ARC, the native currency of Arc Testnet. ARC has no real monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real money. You can claim free ARC from the official faucet at faucet.testnet.arc.network. A small amount is enough to cover mining fees and token creation.
What wallet should I use?
What wallet should I use?
Use MetaMask. The ACTFUN app is built around MetaMask’s injected provider. You need to add Arc Testnet to MetaMask manually before connecting see the Arc Testnet setup guide for the exact network values and step-by-step instructions.
Can I get a refund if a token never graduates?
Can I get a refund if a token never graduates?
Yes. If a token has not yet reached 95% of its mineable supply and therefore has not graduated you can call Claim Refund in the app to recover all the ARC fees you paid as a miner. Once the token graduates, refunds are permanently closed and the ARC you paid becomes part of the liquidity pool. Claim your refund before graduation if you want it back.
What happens to ARC fees when a token graduates?
What happens to ARC fees when a token graduates?
When 95% of the mineable supply is mined, the contract automatically calls graduation. At that point, the contract mints the remaining 5% of the token supply as LP reserve tokens and seeds a constant-product AMM (x*y=k) using those tokens together with all accumulated ARC fees as the initial liquidity. The ARC fees are locked permanently into the pool they cannot be withdrawn by the creator or anyone else.
Can I create a token for free?
Can I create a token for free?
On Arc Testnet the creation fee is minimal and payable in ARC, which you get for free from the faucet. When you deploy a token through the LaunchpadFactory you set the per-mine fee that your community will pay your own ARC cost to create is separate and small. There is no platform fee taken by ACTFUN beyond what the contract requires for gas.
What is the daily mining cap?
What is the daily mining cap?
Each token has a daily cap set by the creator at launch. The cap defines how many tokens a single wallet can mine within any rolling 24-hour window. The default cap is 10× the mine amount (so if each mine yields 1,000 tokens, the daily cap is 10,000 tokens per wallet). The cap is stored as an immutable parameter in the
TokenLauncher contract and cannot be changed after deployment.Can the token creator take the mining fees?
Can the token creator take the mining fees?
No. Once a mine fee is paid, the ARC goes into the
TokenLauncher contract and is controlled entirely by the contract’s logic not by the creator. The creator has no admin key, no withdrawal function, and no privileged access. The ARC either stays available for miner refunds (before graduation) or gets locked into the AMM liquidity pool (at graduation).Why do I need to approve before selling?
Why do I need to approve before selling?
Selling follows the ERC-20 standard. Before the
TokenLauncher contract can transfer tokens out of your wallet on your behalf, it needs explicit permission via an approve transaction. The ACTFUN app handles this automatically as a two-step flow: it submits the approval first, then the sell transaction once the approval is confirmed. You will see two MetaMask prompts when you sell for the first time.Where can I see my token's transactions?
Where can I see my token's transactions?
All on-chain activity is visible on Arcscan. Go to testnet.arcscan.app and search for your wallet address or the token’s contract address to see every mine, buy, sell, refund, and graduation event. You can also find a direct link to each token’s contracts from its detail page on actfun.xyz
Can I change a token's parameters after deploying?
Can I change a token's parameters after deploying?
No. All token parameters name, symbol, max supply, mine amount, cooldown, daily cap, and fee per mine are immutable. They are set once at deployment and stored as
immutable variables in the TokenLauncher contract. No one, including the creator, can modify them after the transaction confirms.What is graduation?
What is graduation?
Graduation is the automatic transition from the mining phase to the trading phase. It happens when 95% of the mineable supply has been mined. At that exact moment, the
TokenLauncher contract:- Mints the remaining 5% of the total supply as LP reserve tokens to itself.
- Locks all accumulated ARC fees alongside those tokens as initial liquidity.
- Opens the constant-product AMM (x*y=k), allowing anyone to buy and sell the token immediately.
