A character crypto adopted on its own.
$COOL was born from the “USDC is cool” character with thug life sunglasses that we often see in Jeremy Allaire’s posts, turning that image into a community-driven meme on Arc.

Cool shades on a stablecoin. Nobody built this character, it showed up and it stuck, and the accounts at the center of the dollar on-chain kept reaching for it.
February 2025. Circle posts a single word and a pair of sunglasses. No campaign, no explanation, no product behind it. Just the tone.
That is the whole personality of the dollar on-chain in five characters. Calm, boring in the best way, and completely unbothered.
April 2025. Same word, same shades, this time from USDC itself. Once is an accident. Twice is a voice.
By this point the joke belonged to everyone. People were putting the shades on profile pictures and replies because it already meant something without anyone explaining it.

The low resolution version of USDC is not something a meme coin invented last week. It was already there, on a shirt, in front of the billboard.
Jeremy Allaire, co-founder and CEO of Circle, liked a $COOL post.
Peter Schroeder and Shamus Noonan are in the same list.

It stopped being one person. Likes, follows and a repost kept arriving from inside the company that issues the dollar, from the team building Arc, and from one football-shaped direction nobody expected.
Different desks inside the same building, all reaching for the same shades.
Every ecosystem eventually chooses a symbol, and the strongest ones are never chosen by marketing. People connect with a character first. The ticker follows.
Arc arrived without a mascot, and the community brought its own. $COOL is that character with a ticker attached, community owned, with fees going into burns and buybacks.
USDC is cool. Stay cool.
A part of the supply has already been permanently removed from circulation. Burned tokens sit at the dead address, where nobody can move them again.
Burning reduces supply. It does not promise anything about price, and nothing on this page is financial advice.
Fixed supply, an independent identity, and creator fees that leave the project entirely.
Total supply, fixed. 5.53% of it has already been burned.
Its own name, its own art, no third party brand attached to any of it.
Creator fees are directed to Matt Venables, the founder of usdc.cool, the site where the sunglasses character first appeared. Nobody on this side takes them.

Upload a picture, drop the shades on, drag them into place, size and rotate until it is right, then download and flex. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Upload a picture to get started.Tip: drag the shades on the canvas to reposition them. Works with touch too.
No. $COOL is an independent community meme token. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Circle, USDC, Arc, or any individual mentioned anywhere on this site.
No. usdc.cool is a separate project run by someone else and there is no relationship between the two. $COOL is a meme adopted by the Arc community, running under its own name, its own art and its own contract.
They go to Matt Venables, the founder of usdc.cool, the site where the sunglasses character first appeared. The fee recipient address is published on this page and nobody on this side takes a share.
No. Burning reduces supply, which is a fact about the token, not a promise about its price. Nothing here is financial advice.
Look up the token contract on Arcscan and check the balance held at the dead address. Tokens sent there cannot be recovered by anyone.
Arc mainnet, more research and theses, a community built visual identity, and growth. Beyond that, vibes. Be cool, stay cool.
