A list of Arc memecoins is only worth keeping if the entry rule is strict enough to exclude what will embarrass it later. Most chain-specific token lists are assembled from announcements, and an announcement is a claim about the future that costs nothing to make. This one is assembled from pools.

Arc is a Layer 1 blockchain built by Circle, the issuer of USDC. It uses USDC as its gas token and launches its public mainnet on 16 September 2026. Launch venues that spent August advertising themselves as Arc-native will begin producing tokens from that day. Sorting the tokens that exist from the tokens that were promised is the whole job of this page.
What counts, and what does not
A token enters this list when two conditions hold together. It was launched on Arc mainnet, not on the testnet and not on another chain with an Arc-themed name. And it has a liquidity pool anyone can open, read and price — a pool address on a public DEX, resolvable on Arcscan.
Both conditions are load-bearing. The first excludes the testnet tokens that circulated before mainnet and the impersonation tokens deployed elsewhere to catch searches for Arc. The second excludes tokens that exist as a contract but have no market: a deployed token with no pool is not tradable, however many holders its site claims.
Tokens sitting inside a bonding curve are a deliberate edge case. Until a curve token graduates it has no public pool, so it fails the second condition — not as a judgement on the model, but because the column headed "pool link" would have nothing to put in it. It enters on the day it graduates, dated to that day.
Nothing here is a recommendation, and the ordering carries no ranking. It is chronological by launch date, most recent first.
The list
Every row is read from the chain rather than from the venue that produced the token. Lock status reports what the record shows on the check date, in the language the record supports: a term lock states its expiry, a permanent lock states that the position cannot be withdrawn, and a token with no lock record reads "none found" rather than "unlocked."
| Name | Ticker | Launch venue | Launch date | Lock status | Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No mainnet tokens yet — Arc mainnet opens on 16 September 2026 and this table fills from the first pool. |
The lock column uses three phrasings and no others. A term lock reads as the locker's name and the expiry date. A position that cannot be withdrawn reads "permanently locked per venue," followed by "fee treatment not published" unless the venue's own documentation states it. A token with no lock record that resolves on-chain reads "none found."
How the list is compiled
New tokens are found three ways, in this order of reliability. Pools are read directly from Arc's public DEX contracts through the explorer, which catches every token regardless of where it launched or whether its venue announced it. Chart feeds are checked second — DexScreener, or any chart that indexes Arc pools, along with memecentral's Arc memecoin feed, which resolves each token to its own pool record. Launch-venue announcements are checked last and are never sufficient alone: an announcement sends us to look for a pool, and if the pool is not there, neither is the row.
Each candidate is verified before it is added. The pool address is opened on the explorer and confirmed to hold the token in question, and the lock, if a venue claims one, is checked as a contract state with an expiry field rather than as a claim on a launch page — how to verify a liquidity lock on Arc sets out the difference, and the lock is the claim this list checks most carefully. The launch venue is recorded as the contract that deployed the pool, not the venue claiming credit. Name and ticker are taken from the token contract as deployed, so an impersonation token cannot inherit the name it is copying, and the launch date is the block timestamp of the first liquidity transaction, in UTC.
Rows are re-checked weekly, and the "last updated" line moves only when that re-check happens, so a stale date is visible rather than hidden. A token whose pool has been drained is not deleted; its lock status is updated to what the chain now shows, because a list that quietly removes its failures is a marketing page. If a row disagrees with the pool, the pool is right.
The objection to a list like this one
The case against publishing it is reasonable. A curated list of memecoins, maintained by a company that operates a memecoin launch venue, is an advertisement wearing a reference page's clothes, and the act of listing confers a legitimacy most of these tokens have not earned. Worse, the strictness cuts a particular way: a pool-only rule quietly favours venues that launch straight into public pools, which is the design our own launchpad uses. A reader could reasonably conclude the methodology was reverse-engineered from the conclusion.
The second half of that deserves an answer from the compilation rule rather than a promise. Rows are discovered from the chain, not from venues, so a curve token that graduates lands here on the same terms as a token that launched into a pool on day one, and a Bullcheese token whose lock record does not resolve gets "none found" in the same column as anyone else's. The first half is answered by what the list omits: no ranking, no ordering by performance, no commentary on any token. A page that names things and refuses to rate them is a poor advertisement, which is roughly the evidence available.
What this list will look like in three months
The rows are the least interesting part of this page. The fifth column is the one that will matter, because it is the only place on Arc where several venues' claims about their own liquidity sit next to each other in checkable form.
If it fills with expiry dates and permanent-lock records, Arc's memecoin field will have set a norm most chains never managed, and this list becomes boring in the best way. If it fills with "none found," that is the more useful finding — and it will have come from the chain rather than from anyone's opinion of anyone's launchpad.
Bullcheese is a permissionless launch venue. Tokens launched on it are created by anyone, carry no endorsement, and can go to zero. Nothing here is financial advice.
