THERE IS A LAUNCHPAD WAR HAPPENING ON ARC
Think of Arc like a brand-new playground.
The playground is not even fully open yet.
Arc mainnet launches on September 16.
But already, 9 launchpads are preparing to launch coins on Arc.
Here’s what I found 👇
🏆 THE ONES WITH REAL VOLUME
1️⃣ TollyLabs
@TollyLabs
💰 $1.8M traded
🪙 209 tokens launched
👨💻 64% of fees go to creators
👥 12% goes to holders
It is currently the only Arc launchpad that has published its code.
The holder reward pool already has $1,252 in it, but there is no way to claim it yet.
2️⃣ CircleWarp
@circlewarp
💰 $1.5M traded
🪙 172 launches
📈 The only bonding curve currently live
🏆 1 graduation in 6 weeks
But here is something important:
84% of its volume comes from its own $WARP token.
3️⃣ Archemist
@Archemistdotfun
💰 $337K traded
🪙 49 tokens
🐦 You launch by tagging a bot on X
👨💻 80% of fees go to creators
But 77% of its volume comes from its own $ARCH token.
THE ONES WITH NUMBERS, BUT NOT MUCH VOLUME
4️⃣ ArcDEXScan
@ArcDEXScan
🪙 2,203 launches — the most on Arc
👛 One wallet created 394 of them
💰 1% fee
➕ Another 1% fee through the router
5️⃣ ArcPad
@arcpad_meme
This is a fork of PotatoPad from Robinhood Chain.
🪙 15 tokens
💰 $29K traded
💸 Takes 50% of fees
💵 Lifetime revenue: $75
6️⃣
UBI.fun
@UBIdotFUN
🦄 The only one using Uniswap V4
💰 1.25% fee
👥 24% goes to holders
🪙 3 coins launched
💵 $4.8K volume
👥 Holder pool: $1.38
⏰ THE ONES THAT ARE NOT OPEN YET
7️⃣ ACT
@actfunxyz
The contracts are already live, but launches are gated until September 16 at 9AM UTC.
Their own token is also expected to launch the same day.
They say "LP locked," but the owner still has an emergency withdrawal function.
8️⃣ Minara
@minarafun
Still on testnet.
🏦 Backed by Circle Ventures
💰 Lowest fees on Arc: 0.5–0.75%
🪙 Creators can buy up to 80% of the supply at launch
9️⃣ Flutch
@Flutchdotfun
👥 667 people on the whitelist
🪙 0 launches
🌐 0 launches on any chain so far
⚠️ NOW HERE IS THE PART YOU REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND
Out of these 9 launchpads:
❌ 7 don't use bonding curves.
Instead, they put new tokens directly into a Uniswap pool with $0 of initial real liquidity and allow buyers to fill the pool.
💰 Creators can receive 50–80% of fees.
👥 Holders receive 0% on 5 of the 9 launchpads.
And even where holders are supposed to receive a share...
Nobody has been paid yet.
The entire Arc chain currently does around $1.3M in DEX volume per day.
But there is another important detail:
A large part of that volume comes from the launchpads trading their OWN tokens, rather than the tokens they launched.
And right now:
❌ Nobody is audited.
❌ Nobody is verified on an explorer.
❌ You cannot bridge USDC onto Arc today because Circle has not activated CCTP for mainnet yet.
SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Arc is still VERY early.
The mainnet hasn't even opened yet, but 9 launchpads are already fighting for users, creators and liquidity.
That could create some very interesting opportunities.
BUT...
Don't see $1M volume and immediately buy a token.
Do your homework.
Look at:
Real volume
Real users
Real launches
Liquidity
Fees
Smart contracts
Audits
Holder rewards
Where the volume is actually coming from
The Arc playground is about to open.
The question is:
WHO BUILT THE BEST PLAYGROUND?
And more importantly...
WHO IS ACTUALLY USING IT?
This is why I watch ecosystems BEFORE the crowd arrives.
Not financial advice. Do your own research.
