They built the chain. He wore the shirt first.

May 2015: Circle posts a photo of a German Shepherd in a company tee. Caption energy: employee of the month. Eleven years later Circle ships a chain — and the dog finally gets paid.

01 — the lore

Eleven years of
very patient sitting.

Every meme needs a receipt. This one has a timestamp.

  1. 2015

    The photograph

    Circle posts a black-and-tan shepherd wearing the company t-shirt. The logo sits crooked. He does not care. The internet files it away for later.

  2. 2026

    Circle ships a chain

    Arc goes live — a stablecoin-native L1 where USDC is the gas. Serious infrastructure. Grown-up documentation. Absolutely zero dogs mentioned anywhere in the whitepaper.

  3. now

    The dog gets his ticker

    $AROS launches on DYOR Fun v3 and graduates past its funding target. Uniswap v3 pool, 1% fee, liquidity permanently locked. No presale to sniff at, no team wallet buried in the garden.

    Off the leash

    He's a community dog now. Every holder is a co-owner of one (1) extremely good boy who has been quietly employed at a stablecoin company since the Obama administration.

02 — the papers

Pedigree, on chain.

Everything below is verifiable from the pool. Nothing below is a promise.

03 — fetch instructions

Four steps.
Then sit.

01

Get a wallet on Arc

Any EVM wallet works. Add the Arc network so you can actually see what you own.

02

Bring USDC

Arc runs on USDC — it's the gas and it's the other half of the pool. Fund the wallet.

03

Open the pool

Head to the $AROS page on DYOR, connect, and check the contract address against the one on this page.

04

Swap, then relax

Confirm the trade. Congratulations — you are now legally responsible for a dog on the internet.

Open the $AROS pool

Always verify the contract before you sign anything. Fake dogs are everywhere.

04 — obedience school

The roadmap,
in commands.

A memecoin roadmap is a joke with a deadline. Here's ours anyway.

SITdone

Launch. Graduate the bonding curve. Lock the liquidity and throw away the key.

STAYin progress

Hold the line. Grow the Telegram. Turn one 2015 photograph into an entire visual language.

FETCHnext

Listings, trackers, charts, and enough sticker packs to make the timeline unusable.

OFF LEASHsomeday

The dog becomes the mascot of an entire chain and none of us can explain how it happened.

“Aros, Circle's dog.”

— the entire whitepaper

05 — questions

Ask.

Is $AROS affiliated with Circle?

No. $AROS is an unofficial community meme token. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or operated by Circle Internet Financial, USDC, Arc, or the dog's actual owner. It's a tribute to a photograph, made by people on the internet.

Which chain is it on?

Arc — the stablecoin-native L1 where USDC is the gas token. The $AROS pool pairs against native USDC.

Where do I buy it?

Through the DYOR Fun v3 page for the token, which routes into the Uniswap v3 pool. The contract address is at the top of this page — copy it from here, or from the explorer, and never from a stranger's DM.

Is the liquidity locked?

Yes. The token graduated past its funding target and the LP position is permanently locked. You can confirm it yourself on the pool page rather than taking our word for it.

Is there a tax?

No transfer tax. You'll pay the 1% Uniswap v3 pool fee on swaps, plus gas, like everybody else.

Will this make me rich?

Almost certainly not. $AROS is a meme coin with no utility, no roadmap you should take literally, and no revenue. It can go to zero and stay there. Buy it because the dog is funny, spend only what you can lose entirely, and do your own research.

Good boy.
Good chain.

He's been wearing the shirt since 2015. Least you can do is hold the bag.
