A little lore on why PI exists.
Deep inside Arc’s genesis configuration, Circle left a small technical easter egg.
Genesis is where a blockchain begins. It defines the network at block 0 — the chain ID, initial parameters, pre-loaded contracts, and everything the network is born with.
And inside Arc’s official mainnet genesis file, there’s this:
"coinbase": "0x3141592653589793238462643383279502884197"
Look closely.
3141592653589793238462643383279502884197
Those are the digits of π:
3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197...
@circle built our chain called @arc and embedded π directly into its genesis.
Not in a random transaction.
Not added later.
It was there from block 0.
PI was written into Arc before Arc even began.
