About AI Rig Complex
AI Rig Complex is a blockchain and artificial intelligence framework project built around the Rig open-source ecosystem, focused on integrating AI tooling and infrastructure. It was developed by Playgrounds Analytics Inc., with Jephthah Akene as CEO and Christophe Vauclair as CTO. The token launched as a fair launch on 10 December 2024, with no private sale and no pre-mined tokens. ARC is a Solana-based token, not the native asset of an independent Layer-1 blockchain, and the project does not operate its own consensus mechanism. The native token, ARC, is used within the AI Rig Complex ecosystem, with allocations directed toward the community, the team, and an ARC prize pool and treasury. On-chain staking or governance rights are not clearly defined in publicly available disclosures. The total supply is capped at approximately one billion ARC, with essentially the full supply already in circulation.
