Your rice did not get more expensive this month.
At the market it did, by 2.1%. Your pay grew to match.
- What it is
- Pay priced in what your month costs: rice, rent, fuel, school. When rice goes up, your pay goes up with it.
- Who it is for
- Workers paid in a currency that keeps slipping.
- Try it now
- Set your basket, then receive pay into it.
In pesos, this month's pay buys 10.6% less rice than it did in Apr.
In your basket, it buys exactly the same.

Say what your month is made of
Rice, rent, fuel, school, everything else. Shares of your life, not of a portfolio.
Get paid into it
Pay goes in at today's prices and stays worth what it bought. When rice goes up, your rice slice grows.
Stop watching the currency
Whatever the local money does, your basket buys the same basket. That is the whole idea.
Why Arc
Keeping a wage level against rice, rent and fuel means adjusting it a little, all the time. That only works on a small salary if every adjustment costs a fraction of a cent and lands at once. Arc has stablecoin exchange built in and fees that round to nothing, so it works on three hundred dollars a month, not just three hundred thousand.
