Getting NUR — the exact steps, including the awkward ones
Arc is a young chain. Buying anything on it takes one step that other chains
don't: getting USDC onto Arc. This page walks through it honestly,
including the parts that are inconvenient.
Read this first. The NUR/USDC pool holds $2.55. A $1 buy moves the
price roughly 40%. A $5 buy moves it about 200%. If you are thinking of this as
an investment, stop — it is not one. If you are curious what a real pool on a
new chain behaves like, $1 is plenty.

That $1,040 is arithmetic on $2.55 of real capital. It is not a valuation and
no one paid it.
What you need
An EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, anything that speaks WalletConnect)
USDC — about $2 is plenty
A few cents of that USDC for gas. On Arc, gas is USDC
The steps
Add Arc to your wallet
Chain ID 5042, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.arc.io,
symbol USDC, explorer https://explorer.arc.io.
Your wallet may warn that the gas symbol is not ETH — that is expected, Arc uses USDC.
Get USDC onto Arc — this is the awkward step
Arc has no faucet, so the USDC must come from somewhere real. Two routes that work:
Route A — an exchange that lists Arc. Kraken and Upbit were in Arc's launch cohort. Withdraw USDC directly to your Arc address. This is the simplest route by a wide margin.
Route B — bridge with Circle CCTP. Hold USDC on Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum or another supported chain and bridge it across. Use only interfaces linked from Circle's own CCTP documentation — fake "Arc bridge" sites exist and they take your money. Send a small test amount first.
Sending USDC to an Arc address on the wrong network means permanent loss.
Arc is not Base, not Ethereum, not Arbitrum.
Swap USDC for NUR
The pair is live on Uniswap v2 on Arc.
Set a slippage tolerance of 5–10%. On a pool this thin, the default will
often fail — that is the pool, not a bug.
Add NUR to your wallet so it is visible
Use the Noor Pay page — "Add NUR to wallet" does it in one click,
or add the contract address manually with 18 decimals.

If you would rather not trade at all
That is a completely reasonable answer, and probably the correct one. NUR has
no utility yet. A payment tool exists, a market exists, and the code is
verified — but none of that is a reason for you to spend money.
