Issues relating to the development and use of artificial intelligence in our business could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We use, and may increasingly use, artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative artificial intelligence, and other automated technologies (collectively, “AI”) in our business, including in fraud detection, transaction monitoring, compliance, reserve analytics, smart contract development, cus…
Our use of AI may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities, including due to regulatory scrutiny, litigation, compliance issues, ethical concerns, confidentiality or security risks, and other factors that could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condit…
There can be no assurance that our use of AI will enhance our products or services, produce the intended results, or be beneficial to our business. AI systems are complex and may be flawed, reflect unwanted bias, or produce outputs that are incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent with our policies, r…
Other risks associated with the use of AI tools could include unauthorized use of our confidential information, or that of our users or third parties, in user prompts, code outputs that are potentially not protectable under copyright, reproduction of our code in code outputs to third parties, use of…

The market for blockchain infrastructure is highly competitive, and Arc may fail to achieve sufficient adoption to support a viable ecosystem.
The market for blockchain infrastructure is intensely competitive. We anticipate that Arc will compete with numerous established and emerging blockchain networks, many of which already have significantly larger developer communities, user bases, and ecosystem resources than Arc would have at the out…
There can be no assurance that we will launch Arc on our contemplated timeline or that Arc will achieve the adoption necessary to sustain a robust ecosystem. Failure to attract a critical mass of developers, users, and/or applications could limit demand for block space and/or reduce the utility and …
Moreover, although we have entered into token purchase agreements with certain institutional investors in connection with a presale of ARC Tokens, there can be no assurance that the ARC Token will ultimately be launched. The launch of the ARC Token remains subject to numerous contingencies, includin…
Arc may be subject to technical risks, including software vulnerabilities, bugs, and failures that could result in loss of assets or network downtime.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
