Argus launchpad reports $455 million in swap volume on Arc network

Argus, a permissionless launchpad on Circle’s Arc network, has reported over 184,000 token launches and more than $455 million in swap volume since its launch alongside the Arc mainnet in September 2026.

The platform utilizes Uniswap v4 pools with custom tax hooks, allowing tokens to be tradable immediately upon deployment without a bonding curve. This architecture enables creators to set buy and sell taxes between 0% and 10%, which are distributed among various stakeholders including the creator, burn mechanisms, dividends, and liquidity.

Argus has distributed over $5.5 million in USDC to users, representing approximately 1.2% of its total swap volume. The platform distinguishes itself by using USDC for gas fees on the Arc chain and offering a Bundler tool to help creators manage initial liquidity and mitigate the impact of automated snipers during the opening seconds of a launch.
