name, ticker, image, socials, and an optional dev buy in usdc. one transaction creates the coin (1 billion fixed supply, no taxes, no mint), deploys it through our factory so the address cannot be known in advance, and opens a real uniswap v4 pool denominated in native usdc. your coin's chart is in dollars from its first trade. that is the whole recipe for making an arc meme coin: there is no step four.

a 2% per wallet cap in the first hour (over cap buys fill to the cap and refund the rest), trading opens one block after create, an anti snipe premium decays over the first 30 seconds, and a 90 minute name and ticker cooldown makes copy launches worthless. the dev buy obeys the same cap as everyone else.

what you earn

creators receive 70% of every trade fee, forever: 1% per curve trade, and the pool's 1% lp fee after graduation. when the curve raises $8,413.80 the coin graduates at a $42,069 market cap: the raise and the 200 million reserve become full range liquidity, locked forever.
