Arcus airdrop

Arcus is the big one on Robinhood Chain. It is a next-generation exchange built jointly by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, it went live on July 2, 2026, and unlike most fresh launches it has a confirmed token on the way with a slice reserved for the community. The team pedigree is real: Arcus was incubated at dYdX Labs, Eddie Zhang is CEO and founder, and dYdX founder Antonio Juliano is on the board driving strategy. When the people behind one of crypto's largest historical airdrops build a new DEX and openly say a token is coming, you pay attention. Join the spot on Arcus and get on the perps waitlist at waitlist.arcus.xyz.

• Spot (live now): 95 tokenized stock tokens trading 24/7 with 0% fees, plus crypto, and now the top Robinhood Chain memecoins are listed too. Spot Beta is open to everyone.
• Perps (waitlist): equity perpetuals and 35 RWA perps with up to 50x leverage, in beta. Access is gated by a waitlist you climb with your trading history.

The token is the headline. There is no $ARCUS yet, but the team has confirmed an allocation of any future Arcus token will be reserved for the dYdX community, with priority for people who traded, staked, validated or built on dYdX. That is a rare thing to see stated plainly before launch, and it turns a normal "position and hope" farm into something with a documented commitment behind it.

This is where WaterX-style daily quests do not apply. Your Arcus perps waitlist position is driven by your real onchain trading history, not clicks. Two things move you up the queue:

• Past perp volume on dYdX v3, Hyperliquid and Lighter, plus RWA volume from HIP3, Cash and TradeXYZ as a bonus. You can connect multiple wallets to aggregate all of it, and connecting a dYdX v4 address moves you up further.
• Referrals of validated traders. Bring real traders through your link and your rank climbs, and referrers earn referral trading fees (up to 10% of a referred trader's fees) once perps go live.

If you have traded perps anywhere before, you already have the fuel to climb. Connect those wallets at waitlist.arcus.xyz.
