Arcana Protocol
Estimated time to read: 2 minutes
The Arcana Auth protocol is built and operates using the Proof of Stake Polygon chain.
It is deployed in the form of two networks:
- Arcana Testnet
- Arcana Mainnet
Mainnet Roadmap
The Arcana Auth Mainnet was released in January 2023 with the Arcana Auth SDK release v1.0.0.
The following services are active on Testnet as well as the Mainnet
- Configuring Arcana SDK usage with Arcana Developer Dashboard
- User onboarding, gasless transactions through the Arcana Auth SDK v1.0.12
- Gasless Transactions (Third-party wallets) via the Arcana Gasless (Standalone) SDK v0.0.45\
- Asynchronous Distributed Key Generation that powers the Arcana Auth SDK and helps onboard users to Web3
We are actively working towards adding newer features and capabilities to the SDKs. Watch out for our upcoming Chain Abstraction solution!

Protocol Audit
At Arcana, we take the security and privacy of applications seriously and believe in transparency. To eliminate any security vulnerabilities in Arcana Smart Contracts and the ADKG module, we put it under the rigorous vetting process and cybersecurity tests conducted by Certik. The audit is complete and you can refer to the reports for details.
Network Nodes
| Network Metrics | Beta | Mainnet |
|---|---|---|
| # Protocol Nodes | 7 | 21 |
| # Distributed Key Generator Nodes | 3 | 7 (4 operated by Arcana, 3 by trusted partners) |
ADKG Subsystem
Arcana has made great strides since our alpha SDK release. Our new asynchronous distributed key generation (ADKG) algorithm is now part of the Arcana protocol, offering improved security and efficiency in key share generation.
Refer to the Arcana Technical Whitepaper for more details on ADKG.
Decentralization
The Arcana ADKG subsystem uses multiple nodes, including some operated by trusted Arcana partners called validators. We plan to fully decentralize the protocol in future releases.
