About Argus
Argus is a memecoin launchpad on Circle's Arc chain that departs from the usual bonding curve: every new token's entire supply goes straight into a permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool, price is set by the pool, creators may set a 0-10% trading tax settled in USDC, and Circle's CCTP bridge is built in for moving funds. It targets the shortage of issuance venues and liquidity on a new chain, where without a launchpad neither developers nor speculators have anywhere to go.
Putting the full supply in the pool means no allocation and no staged unlocks, and anyone trades on the same curve, which is closer to an open market than a bonding curve; the cost is extreme early price instability and parameters that cannot be adjusted once the pool is locked. Arc mainnet launched on 16 September 2026, Argus recorded about $202 million in first-day volume and 86% of that day's mints, and the platform token briefly rose from $1.8 million to $34 million in market value. Concentration is the obvious risk, with the top 100 wallets holding about 71% of supply.
Listing and performance: ARGUS is the launchpad token of the Arc chain, listed on MEXC on September 16 (ARGUS/USDT, ARGUS/USD1) and on Gate on September 17; it gained over 500% on launch day with daily volume above $5 million and a market cap that spiked to $34-38 million.
Supply and mechanics: Total supply is 1 billion with about 950 million circulating; it uses a launch-and-graduation model where some launched tokens can set a 0%-10% trade tax for buybacks/burns and USDC holder rewards, while ARGUS's own utility remains unclear.
Argus went live on September 16, 2026 alongside the public mainnet of Circle's stablecoin L1 network Arc, having deployed its full contract stack during the private mainnet window to dominate token launches on Arc. On launch day Arguspad recorded roughly $202 million in trading volume and 83,751 token launches, accounting for 86% of all Arc mints that day; the $ARGUS token spiked to about a $30 million market cap intraday
Future strategy and roadmap: On September 22 Argus shipped an interaction upgrade adding HoudiniSwap private swaps, GeckoTerminal charts, KyberNetwork routing and Quicknode RPC, plus Chinese and Korean language support. The V2 platform is now in testing and security audit, set to introduce CTO creator token offerings, fairer token distributions, flexible creator fees and creator token locking. The longer-term roadmap plans to expand beyond memecoins to stocks, stablecoins, major crypto assets, commodities and fiat in staged phases.
