Introduction
This guide will take you inside the Arcium Testnet, where you’ll learn how to explore and interact with the DApps you can try right now.
What is Arcium?
Arcium is a decentralized encrypted supercomputer that enables trustless, verifiable computation over fully encrypted data at scale. Designed to solve one of Web3’s biggest limitations - the exposure of sensitive data during processing, Arcium uses secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to deliver full privacy, guaranteed execution, and verifiable results without ever revealing the underlying information.
Built on Solana and designed for multi-chain compatibility, it offers developer-friendly tools for seamless integration into any application, unlocking powerful new possibilities for AI, DeFi, healthcare, supply chain management, and beyond. With Arcium, industries can collaborate, analyze, and transact securely, paving the way for a new era of private, decentralized computing.
Step 1
First, let's claim some test SOL on Devnet.
To do this, head over to one of the following links, insert your wallet address and claim for devnet. I will use Phantom wallet for this guide.

Step 2
Now open your wallet, go to settings and enable testnet mode (or devnet mode depending on wallet).
Step 3
Now just head over to demos.arcium.com/dark-pool & connect your Solana wallet.

Step 4
After connecting wallet you should automatically see 500,000 USDC demo funds.
Try to perform swaps between SOL and USDC as often as possible.

Step 5
Now let's head over to arcanehands.xyz & connect wallet.
Here we can test out their Rock Paper Scissors game, try to climb the Leaderboard!
You can also select the Events tab at the top and complete the Decrypted Throne event.

Step 6
Keep an eye on the ecosystem to see when new demo Dapps become available to test: arcium.com/testnet
