Arc Open Source Showcase 🥚🥚🥚
The Arc Open Source Showcase is a call for codebases that other builders can hack upon. We want open, well-documented projects that expose reusable primitives — the kind of building blocks the next wave of Arc apps can fork, import, and ship on top of.
Multiple projects will be chosen by Arc and Canteen.
What we're looking for
The Arc ecosystem already has solid reference code — mostly in the circlefin/arc-* repos, like arc-commerce and arc-p2p-payments. We want you to add to it: composable tools and flows that aren't there yet. The more dedicated thought you bring to building composable tools for other Arc builders, the better.
Eligibility
To be considered, a project must:
- Stay open source — keep your code open during and after the event.
- Expose useful primitives — building blocks other Arc builders can pick up (see arc-commerce / arc-p2p-payments for the shape of this). It often helps to split out a standalone, infra-focused repo that's easy to fork.
- Document it clearly — write down how your code works and how to use it, so a builder can get going without reading every line.
A strong submission also gives reviewers a clear answer to two questions:
what primitives are you exposing that other builders could find useful? And
compared to the code already out there for Arc builders (mostly the
circlefin/arc-* repos), what tools and flows do you add?
Two ways to apply
1. Through the Google form. Fill out the two Arc OSS sections:
2. Through the CLI
(the-canteen-dev/ARC-cli).
Submit one or many product updates with a message prepended with
ArcOSS:. Install and sign in with your GitHub handle:
uv tool install git+https://github.com/the-canteen-dev/ARC-cli.git

arc-canteen update product # prepend the message with "ArcOSS:"For example:
ArcOSS: Tools <x> are a great fit for cirBTC on Arc
ArcOSS: made a dedicated tooling repo here for other Arc builders
