Common questions
- Why does every amount appear twice?
- Because a spreadsheet cannot hold a uint256. Open a column of 18-decimal integers in Excel or Sheets and each one is silently rounded to fifteen significant figures — the value looks right and is not. So each amount ships as the exact base-unit integer and as the scaled decimal beside it, both computed with integer arithmetic and neither rounded. Import the raw columns as text if you intend to reconcile against the chain.
- Why do some values look a trillion times larger than others?
- Arc's gas token is USDC and the same dollars are addressable at two scales: native balances and transaction values carry 18 decimals, while the ERC-20 interface at 0x3600000000000000000000000000000000000000 carries 6. A single dollar therefore appears as 1000000000000000000 in one row and 1000000 in another. The token transfer export names the decimals of every row's token in its own column, and marks whether the row came from a token contract or from the native mirror, so the two can be told apart. Adding them together double-counts.
- What happens when an export hits the row limit?
- The file ends with a line beginning with # that names the block to continue from. It is deliberately not a silent stop: a file that ends at exactly the limit and says nothing is indistinguishable from a complete one, and would be read as complete. Narrow the range using the block named in that line and export the remainder.
- How exact is a date range?
- Exact, when both ends fall inside the indexed window: the range is resolved against real block headers, taking the first block at or after the start instant and the last block at or before the end instant. Arc's headers carry whole seconds and blocks are about half a second apart, so roughly two blocks share every timestamp — those two rules are the pair that cannot drop a transaction out of the interval you asked for. When an end falls outside the indexed window it is clamped to the edge instead, and the range is then reported as approximate with the reason attached. Use Check range before downloading if it matters.
- Why is there no export of the whole chain?
- Because it would be the cheapest way to take the site down. One export reads as much data as thousands of page views and holds a database connection for the length of the download, so exports are bounded by a row cap and a block-span cap, limited to a couple running at once across the whole API, and rate limited well below normal traffic. The caps are printed beside the form and reported in the response headers of every file.
- Can I export pending transactions?
- There are none to export. Arc has no mempool and no pending state: a transaction is either committed in a block or it does not exist yet. For the same reason there is no uncle or forked-block export — the chain has deterministic finality and produces neither.
An address is a 20-byte identifier that can hold a balance and, when it carries code, execute it. Gas on Arc is paid in USDC, so the balance shown for an address is denominated in dollars rather than in a volatile asset. Read more
