$5 for Circuswap fees. No email required.
The first 500 wallet addresses with a verified Circuswap testnet bridge receive a $5 promotional credit for Circuswap service fees after mainnet execution launches.
Circle/CCTP protocol or forwarding fees and source or destination network gas are separate and remain payable by the wallet.
How a wallet qualifies
- 1Connect an EVM wallet
No email, name, or Circuswap account is required.
- 2Complete a Circuswap testnet bridge
A successful Sepolia-to-Arc Testnet or Arc Testnet-to-Sepolia USDC bridge qualifies. Testnet tokens have no monetary value.
- 3Submit the source burn transaction
Circuswap submits new burns automatically when possible. Earlier testers can paste a burn transaction hash on the bridge page.
First 500 means first verified submissions
A slot is assigned when the registry receives and verifies a valid transaction, not by when a wallet first visited the site. Allocation is atomic and sequential, from wallet #1 through wallet #500. Each wallet can receive one Founding 500 allocation, and each burn transaction can qualify only once.
This wallet-only design does not attempt to identify whether one person controls multiple addresses. Circuswap does not make private or discretionary additions to the Founding 500 after all slots are assigned.
What onchain verification checks
- The burn is confirmed successfully on Ethereum Sepolia or Arc Testnet.
- The transaction sender is the wallet receiving the credit.
- The transaction calls Circle App Kit's disclosed testnet bridge contract.
- The source USDC contract and destination CCTP domain match the selected route.
- The destination is the same wallet address on the other EVM network.
- The disclosed Circuswap recipient and exact 2% service fee are present.
How the $5 credit works
When enabled on mainnet, the ledger balance can reduce Circuswap's service-fee portion of eligible bridges until the $5 is used.
Protocol, forwarding, relayer, and gas costs are not paid, reimbursed, or discounted by Founding 500 credit.
The credit is not USDC, a token, cash, stored value, or a transferable or withdrawable balance.
An EVM account has the same address on Sepolia, Ethereum mainnet, and Arc. The credit stays with the qualifying address.
Privacy-minimized record
The registry stores the public wallet address, qualifying burn transaction, source chain, bridged amount, rank, timestamps, and credit-ledger entries. It does not ask for an email, name, private key, seed phrase, IP address for the program record, or an offchain user profile. Full wallet lists are not published; only aggregate slot counts and the status of a specifically queried wallet are returned.
Wallet addresses and transactions remain publicly visible on their blockchains. See the Privacy Notice for hosting and third-party processing details.
Future wallet allocations
Circuswap's ledger supports later promotional allocations to a specified wallet through a protected, auditable administrative process. Those additions do not change Founding 500 ranks or consume a Founding 500 slot and must use a unique reference so an allocation cannot be applied twice.
