Get paid to your name
Turn @you into a way to get paid. Every ArcNS name with an Arc record carries a QR code and a shareable payment link, so anyone can pay you by scanning or tapping — no copying a long address.
Once your name has a live Arc address record, @you becomes something people can pay in a tap. Every name gets a QR code and a shareable payment link on its page in app.arcns.io — nobody has to copy a wallet address.
A QR code to scan
Your name's pay screen shows a QR of its Arc address as a standard EIP-681 payment URI, so any EVM wallet can scan it and pay — hold it up at a table, put it on a screen, print it on a flyer.
A link to share
Copy the payment link or hit share, and send it in a message, a bio, or an invoice. Opening it opens a payment to that name.
How to get paid
Link a payment address
Add your Arc address to your name (see Register your name) and, ideally, verify it. That's the address your QR and link point at — the name's live Arc address record, never the wallet that merely owns the name. Until it's set, the pay screen shows an honest "no payment address set" rather than sending anyone to the wrong place.
Open your name's pay screen
Your name's page shows the QR code, your address with a one-tap copy button, and the buttons to copy or share your payment link.
Share it any way you like
Show the QR to be paid in person, or send the link online. Optionally set an amount first and it's carried in both, so the payer sees exactly what to send.
What the QR and the link carry
- The QR is a standard payment URI. It encodes an EIP-681 URI wallets already know how to parse:
ethereum:<address>@5042002(Arc testnet's chain id), with?value=<wei>added when an amount is set. Nothing proprietary — any EVM wallet that can scan a payment QR can pay it. - The link carries the name, not just the address. It is an
arcns:URI shapedarcns:<name>?recipient=0x…&chainId=5042002&amount=<usdc>. A simple consumer pays therecipient=address directly; a name-aware wallet re-resolves the name when the link is opened and warns if the two disagree — the same way a shared link should behave once a name changes hands. - Verification travels with it. The address carries its flag from Verified records:
verifiednext to the address if you proved control of it,unverifiedas an explicit warning otherwise. Nothing unproven is dressed up as confirmed.
Amounts are decimal USDC (Arc's settlement and gas asset) up to six decimal places. The QR's value= field carries the equivalent in native wei (1 USDC = 10^18 on Arc); the link's amount= field carries the decimal figure — both come from the one amount you type.
Because the link and QR are tied to your name, they keep working for as long as @you is yours. Change which address receives, and the same link and code follow — no need to reprint or re-share.
