$PI logo: a glowing π inside a blue arc

Written into Arc before Arc began.

Circle hid π in the coinbase address of Arc's mainnet genesis. It has been there since block 0. $PI is that number, on Arc.

There from block 0.

Genesis is where a blockchain begins.

Block 0. The chain ID, the initial parameters, the contracts a network is born with.

Circle left something inside Arc's.

A small technical easter egg in the official mainnet genesis file. Line 10.

Look closely.

Drop the 0x. Add a decimal point.

Those are the digits of π.
