arc launchpads: the complete list
the list
circle's own arc ecosystem directory names roughly one hundred organizations: global banks, custodians, exchanges, lending protocols and DEX partners from uniswap to curve. the number of launchpads among them is still zero. the chain got launchpads anyway. with mainnet open, the honest list as of this page's update:
pmav (this site), live on arc mainnet: native usdc curves on uniswap v4, no creation fee, creators keep 70% of every trade fee, liquidity locked at graduation · Sharc, live, which describes its coins as unruggable by design with liquidity burned at graduation · ONIX, which per its own site charges a flat 50 iUSD to launch, graduates coins into uniswap v3 with the LP burned, and pays creators 50% of trade fees · Arcfun, which describes itself as a stablecoin native launchpad with bonding curves and automatic DEX migration · AstraPump, a launchpad and DEX focused on one click issuance, listed on the third party tracker ArcLens · USDcurve, a robinhood chain launchpad advertising arc as coming soon. others will follow, because anyone can deploy to arc.
we used to call ourselves the only launchpad on arc. that stopped being true, so we changed the sentence. facts about competitors above come from their own public sites as of this update; check them yourself, and use the checklist below on all of us.
pmav, in detail
every coin launches as a real uniswap v4 pool priced in native usdc, so every price, fee and market cap is an exact dollar amount with no conversion. the fair launch rules are enforced by the hook contract, not by policy: public trading opens one block after create, a 2% per wallet cap governs the first hour with over cap buys filled to the cap and refunded in the same transaction, and an anti snipe premium in the first 30 seconds pays 70% of that premium to the coin's creator, so snipers fund the dev. separately and permanently, creators earn 0.7% of every traded dollar, forever. graduation happens in place at the $42,069 market cap identity: the curve pool becomes the permanent pool with liquidity locked, no migration window, no second pool to rug. launching costs about a cent of gas and nothing else.
for comparison, pump.fun on solana pays creators a 0.300% creator fee on bonding curve trades, and after a coin graduates its creator fee schedule is tiered by market cap rather than fixed (source, july 2026). check both numbers yourself before believing either of us.
pmav also runs a free agent api and a hosted mcp server at https://pmav.fun/mcp/arc, because on a chain with cent gas and sub second finality, trading agents are first class customers. quotes come from a lens contract and are execution exact. as of this update it is the only arc launchpad publishing a hosted mcp endpoint, which is a claim you can test in one request rather than take on faith.
what to demand from any arc launchpad
hold every arc launchpad including us to the same five properties. each one is verifiable in contract code, not in marketing:
1. an immutable fee split. if an owner key can change the split, the split is a promise. pmav's 70/30 creator split is a constant in an ownerless contract.
2. no pause code path. a platform that can halt trading will eventually halt trading. there is no pause function anywhere in pmav's launch contracts.
3. in place graduation. migrations between pools are where coins get stuck and rugs get engineered. the pmav curve pool is the final pool.
4. pull based payouts. on arc, native transfers can revert on blocklisted recipients, so pushed payouts can brick. every pmav payout sits in a claim ledger.
5. exact dollar accounting. arc's gas asset is the dollar. any launchpad quoting estimates instead of exact amounts is choosing to.
