An Arcturian explorer
// Story and lore

The star behind the colony

Our name comes from an old idea: a star system whose people guide others. We liked the idea, so we built a place around it.

THE STAR

Arcturus

  • Arcturus is a bright star in the constellation Boötes, about 37 light-years from Earth.
  • It is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, easy to spot in spring and summer from the northern hemisphere.
  • Its name comes from Greek and is often read as "guardian of the bear".
THE LORE

The Arcturians

  • In science fiction and cosmic folklore, Arcturians are advanced, benevolent beings from the Arcturus system.
  • They are pictured as teachers, healers and technologists who help other civilizations grow.
  • Teamwork and collaboration sit at the heart of the legend.
THE MISSION

Why we took the name

  • We want the internet to stay alive, open and accessible to everyone.
  • We run validators so blockchains keep working for the people who rely on them.
  • We build Arcturus so a community can create, play and own something together.
// The colony

A moon colony, a rescue, a new start

In our story, an unknown moon colony had to be evacuated with the help of the Arcturians. The survivors rebuilt on a new frontier, and now you can walk through it, build a life there and help decide where it goes.
