Archway is a layer 1 blockchain that enables developers to capture the value they bring to the network. Archway is fostering an ecosystem that puts developers first, by enabling developers to earn revenue based on the transaction volume they create on the network.
The protocol provides developers a variety of tools to quickly build and deploy scalable dapps, and start benefiting from their usage immediately. Archway’s overarching goal is to cultivate an array of diverse and self-sustaining applications by providing developers a way to grow alongside the protocol.
The Archway ecosystem continues to expand with dApps across a wide variety of categories: NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, social, gaming, ReFi, key developer tooling, bridges, wallets, oracles, and more.
100+ dApps and tooling solutions have committed to build on Archway once the protocol is live. With 400,000+ contract executions in the month of April alone, the Archway testnet is already showcasing a vibrant and growing ecosystem.

The Archway protocol aims to distinguish itself by focusing on creating an economically sustainable token design for ARCH, the native token of the network. The specifics of the token design are key to understanding the unique benefits of the protocol.
Token Utility
The ARCH token serves four core functions within the protocol:
Token Distribution
Below is a breakdown of the ARCH token distribution at launch:
Additional details can be found in the Archway Economics and Token Allocation papers.
Archway introduces a completely new and unique economic design that redirects a portion of protocol revenue directly to developers. There are 3 sources of developer revenue:
Smart Contract PremiumsArchway enables developers to program a premium into dApp smart contracts. 100% of this fee will go to dApp developers.
Inflationary RewardsArchway shares a portion of the network’s token inflation directly with dapps. 25% will go to dApp developers and 75% will go to validators.
Gas Fee RebatesArchway gives developers half of all gas fees their contracts generate. These fees will be divided evenly between developers and validators.
