Announced for Arc· 52
As of 2 September 2026, Built on Arc tracks 52 projects announced with nothing observed yet on Circle's Arc. Arc mainnet has been live since 16 September 2026. These projects have been named — by themselves or by Circle — but nothing has been observed on Arc mainnet or testnet yet. That is not a criticism; most real integrations start here. When something ships, the status moves and the evidence changes with it.

Questions
Why keep announcements in the directory at all?
Because readers search for them, and the useful answer is usually that nothing has shipped yet. Separating announcements from live work is the point of the site.
How is status decided?
Status reflects what we observed on the date shown, not what a project announced. Every entry carries a dated source you can open and check yourself. Live can become Inactive if activity stops.
Does paying change where a project appears?
No. Paid entries are labelled Listing, sit in the same ranked order as everything else, and use rel="sponsored". Payment never affects status, flags, evidence or the Editor's Index.
