Launching a token
How to create a token on Arc and how it trades once it is live.
The Envelope launchpad lets anyone create a token on Arc. Every launch mints a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and places all of it into a Uniswap v3 pool, so the token trades on Uniswap immediately. There is no bonding curve and no separate pre-graduation market.
Creating a token
On the Create page you set a name, ticker, image, and optional description and socials, then choose the pair: USDC or eUSD. You pay a launch fee and can optionally make a creator buy in the same transaction to seed the first position. The token, its pool, and its locked liquidity are all created in one transaction.
The launch fee is shown on the review step before you sign.
Trading
Tokens trade directly on Uniswap v3 at the 1% fee tier. Because the supply launches as a single-sided position, the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. Buying a large share of the supply moves the price a long way.
