What Slice is
Slice is a liquidity layer for Arc. It does two things, for two different groups of people, on top of the same piece of machinery.
For people holding tokens
Providing liquidity on a DEX earns you a cut of trading fees, but it is fiddly: you pick a price range, you hold a non-fungible position, you remember to collect. Slice wraps all of that. You deposit into a pool's vault, you get fungible shares, and the fees that pool earns arrive as USDC.
The yield is real trading activity, not token emissions. Nothing is minted to pay you. If the pool is busy you earn more; if it is quiet you earn less.
For people launching tokens
A token with thin liquidity trades badly, and deepening it by hand means remembering to do it. Slice lets you point a fee router at your pool, fund it with USDC, and have it deploy that budget into liquidity automatically — on a timer, or as the token crosses market-cap milestones you pick in advance.
Where the USDC comes from is up to you. A launchpad forwarding your fee share, a treasury wiring a budget, or a plain transfer all look identical to the router.
What it is built on
- Uniswap v4 — every vault owns one full-range position in a real Uniswap pool. Slice does not run its own AMM.
- Arc — Circle's stablecoin-native L1, where gas is paid in USDC and every token launches paired against it.
- No custody by us — vaults are contracts you interact with directly. Your shares are an ERC-20 you hold.
Where to go next
- How it works — the full path from a swap to your claim.
- Staking liquidity — depositing, withdrawing, what your shares represent.
- Fee routing — the creator side, end to end.
- Building on Arc — what makes this chain different, and why the design responds to it.
