Quarterly report (Form 10-Q)

Circle 10-Q

Filing excerpt

In addition to consensus-layer attacks, Arc may be vulnerable to Sybil attacks, eclipse attacks, routing attacks and other forms of sophisticated adversarial behavior. We cannot guarantee that Arc's security model will be sufficient to prevent all such attacks, and any successful attack could result in significant harm to Arc users, the value of the ARC Token and our reputation.
