TREE NEWS reports: Circle’s Arc chain will open its public mainnet on September 16, and a launchpad race is already underway on the network, which uses USDC as native gas with sub-second finality. Tolly leads with about $1.8 million in cumulative volume and a peak $2.47 million market cap for its $TOLLY token, while Warp has drawn roughly $1.5 million. One Arc launchpad promoted by trader Bonkguy was identified as a scam.
Arc Chain Launchpad Ecosystem Heats Up Ahead of Sept 16 Mainnet
The launchpad race on Arc is forming before the chain has even proven itself, which inverts the usual order: distribution infrastructure is arriving ahead of demonstrated demand for the network itself. The scam flagged among these launchpads is the more instructive signal, since USDC-denominated gas and fast finality lower friction for users and bad actors alike. Whether any of these early launchpads builds durable volume once the mainnet is live, rather than front-running the launch, is the open question.
