Tonight, on Arc
Nightowl, watching the grid

The night is fully covered.

That is a real open hour on a real Arc project, right now. Twenty-four hours, twenty-four people: take one, write down what actually happens, hand it to the next.

What the last watch saw before the bell

What the last watch saw

Each line is one watch’s last sentence before the bell, with the block it was written at. What a person saw, next to what actually settled.

Deploy tx landed clean, first swap came in under two minutes — quieter start than the last launch.

How a watch runs

Claim, write, hand over

01
Claim an open hour

Pick a red tile. Every hour is a real ~7,200-block range on a project's first day — not a wall-clock guess.

A real ~7,200-block range, not a clock guess.

02
Write what only you saw

The chain events are already written. Add what only a human eye could see — the backbone can't tell you why.

Chain events are already written in.

03
Ring the bell, hand over

The entry locks itself, a line is ruled under your last sentence. Nobody has to be there to hand it off — the next watcher just finds it.

Locks the entry; the next watcher just finds it.

Method

An hour is a block range, not a clock

An hour is a block range

Each hour equals one pinned range of ~7200 Arc blocks. Logs combine your observations with automatically embedded onchain transactions. All entries are moderated for named individuals.

NO OPEN HOUR RIGHT NOW
resolved by binary search on Arc’s own JSON-RPC block timestamps — block times are non-decreasing, never strictly increasing, so no wall-clock label is trusted on its own
Named people

What a watch can say about someoneWhat a watch can say

A watch may report what a named account did onchain, cited to a block or transaction. It may not assert someone’s off-chain identity, motive or wrongdoing beyond what the chain or their own public statement shows. Every entry is held for review before it joins the permanent record.

A watch reports what a named account did onchain, cited to a block. It never asserts identity or motive beyond that.
