Memecoins on Arc
arky is the memecoin launchpad and trading terminal on Arc, Circle's USDC-native chain. You launch a coin on a bonding curve priced in USDC, trade it from the first block, and when the curve fills it graduates to a Uniswap v4 pool. Scout, arky's AI agent, can draft the launch for you.
Everything about memecoins on Arc in one place: how to launch one, how the launchpad works, and the maths behind the bonding curve.

How memecoins work on arky
- Launch. Name, ticker, artwork and a short story. The coin is created on Arc and listed on arky the moment the transaction lands.
- Trade on the curve. Every buy and sell is priced by a bonding curve against a USDC reserve, so there is liquidity from the first trade and no pool to seed.
- Graduate. When the curve's USDC reserve reaches its graduation threshold, curve trading stops and the reserve seeds a Uniswap v4 pool whose liquidity is locked permanently.
- Earn. Creators earn a share of trading fees on their coin, on the curve and after graduation.
Why launch memecoins on Arc
Arc is Circle's EVM-compatible layer 1 where USDC is the native gas token. According to the Arc docs, all transaction fees are denominated in USDC and transactions settle in under a second. For a memecoin that means three things: prices, fees and profits all read in dollars; you never need to buy a separate gas token; and a buy is final before the next candle prints.
On arky the launchpad sits inside a full trading terminal, next to spot trading and prediction markets, so a coin you launch is one click away from the traders already watching the pulse and discover desks.

FAQ
What is the best memecoin launchpad on Arc?
Several launchpads run on Arc, including arky, Argus and Bullcheese. arky is the one built into a full trading terminal: coins launch on a USDC bonding curve, graduate to a Uniswap v4 pool, and Scout, an AI agent, can draft the launch for you.
Do I need ETH to launch a memecoin on Arc?
No. USDC is Arc's native gas token, so the USDC you deposit pays for gas, the launch and your first buy. There is no second token to buy.
What is a bonding curve launchpad?
A launchpad where a formula sets the price of a new coin from how much has been bought, so it can be traded immediately without anyone seeding a liquidity pool. The price rises as people buy and falls as they sell.
Can I launch a memecoin on Arc with AI?
Yes. On arky you can ask Scout to launch a memecoin. Scout drafts the coin with you, and nothing goes on chain until your wallet signs the launch.
