Risks & eligibility

Know what the index is.

StockPairs is software infrastructure, not a broker, stock issuer, investment adviser, or guarantee of tracking, liquidity, or legal eligibility.

Stock-index selection is active; stock ownership is not.
Every market settles in Arc USDC. A ticker changes the unit shown by the interface, not the legal or economic nature of the launched token.

No stock backing

The launched meme or community token is not backed by company stock and provides no shares, voting rights, dividends, custody, redemption right, or claim on the underlying company.

Reference is not exposure

Displaying a price in fractional stock units does not make returns track the stock. The launched token can move independently and can lose all of its value.

Market-hour divergence

Arc markets run continuously while U.S. equities have defined sessions. During closures, the last available stock reference can become stale while the token continues trading.

External source risk

The indicative stock conversion depends on a third-party public endpoint. Outages, symbol changes, methodology changes, latency, or incorrect responses can make the displayed index unavailable or inaccurate.

Oracle and basis risk

A production feed can be stale or manipulated, and an indicative quote may differ from a consolidated market price. Freshness checks reduce risk but cannot eliminate it.

Liquidity and slippage

The TOKEN/USDC pool can be illiquid even when the referenced equity is liquid. Users can lose value through price impact, routing fees, MEV, volatility, and failed transactions.

Eligibility is not inferred from a wallet address

The interface cannot determine citizenship, residency, sanctions status, professional classification, or local legal eligibility from an EVM address. Users and integrators must follow applicable law and obtain appropriate legal advice.

Emergency controls

A production pause is intended only for genuine security incidents. It must not enable seizure, arbitrary blacklisting, hidden transfer blocks, mutable tax increases, or retroactive changes to a launch’s economic terms.
