Arc

Argus Bundler on Arc

Launch an Argus token on Arc with its USDC pool, set taxes and valuations, add an atomic dev buy and up to 20 snipers that buy after the opening tax.

The developer buy is part of the launch transaction, so the token never exists on chain without it. It needs a separate USDC approval first.

Sniper buys are separate transactions sent one after another once the three-second opening tax ends. Each uses a fresh quote with 20% slippage protection, and each wallet reports its own result.

Each sniper wallet pays for its own buy and gas in USDC. The 25 USDC launch fee covers the whole bundle; there is no extra Smithii fee per sniper.

The Priority option checks for the end of the opening window more often. It does not raise gas prices.

How to launch on Argus with the Bundler

  1. Connect your wallet on Arc. It becomes the token creator and pays the Smithii fee.
  2. Enter the name, ticker, description and image, and add optional website, X and Telegram links.
  3. Review the defaults under advanced settings: 1 billion supply, 2,500 USDC starting valuation, 45,000 USDC bond valuation and 3% buy and sell taxes paid to the creator. Change them if your launch needs different values.
  4. Set an optional developer buy in USDC and import up to 20 sniper wallets with their USDC amounts.
  5. Approve USDC for the developer buy, pay the 25 USDC Smithii fee, then confirm the launch.
  6. Follow each sniper wallet as it buys after the opening window, then open the token and transactions on Arc Explorer.

Benefits of Argus Bundler

Dev buy inside the launch

your first purchase is in the same transaction that creates the token and its pool

Snipers wait out the opening tax

sniper wallets buy only after the three-second ramp, so they are not charged it

Launch settings you can read

supply, valuations, taxes and tax split are shown before you sign, not hidden in the contract

Keys stay in your browser

sniper private keys sign locally and are never stored in the transaction journal

One fee for the bundle

25 USDC charged before the launch, with no per-wallet surcharge

Recover after a reload

the confirmed token and launch transaction are kept, so a refresh never launches twice

Argus (argus.world) is a token launchpad on Arc. Each launch deploys a token and a Uniswap V4 pool with a hook, which is custom contract logic attached to the pool. Argus calls these contracts Portals. New launches trade against USDC, the asset Arc also uses for gas.

By default: 1 billion tokens, a starting valuation of 2,500 USDC, a bond valuation of 45,000 USDC, and 3% buy and sell taxes with all tax proceeds going to the creator. These are editable defaults. The bond valuation must be higher than the starting valuation, and the Portal caps each tax at 10%.

You split the tax between the creator, burning, dividends and liquidity, and the shares must add up to 100%. The default sends 100% to the creator, paid out in USDC. Claiming those creator proceeds is not part of Smithii yet.

For the first three seconds after a launch, an Argus token applies an opening tax ramp. Smithii does not quote or send sniper buys until that window has passed, so snipers pay only the regular tax and pool fee.

The developer buy is: it executes inside the launch transaction. Sniper buys are not. They are separate transactions sent after the opening window, so a sniper can fail on slippage or balance while the launch and the other wallets still succeed.

Smithii charges 25 USDC after your token launch confirms, paid by the connected wallet. You also pay Arc gas in USDC and the USDC you spend on the developer buy. Each sniper wallet funds its own purchase and gas.

What is Argus and how does it work on Arc?

Argus (argus.world) is a launchpad on Arc, the network where USDC pays for gas. There is no separate bonding curve to graduate from: each launch creates the token together with a Uniswap V4 pool that carries a hook, and Argus refers to these deployments as Portals. The pool charges a 1% fee and tracks whether the token has bonded against the bond valuation set at launch.

Three things make an Argus launch different from other Arc launchpads. The creator chooses the starting and bond valuations. Buy and sell taxes of up to 10% can be split between the creator, burning, dividends and liquidity. And every new token opens with a three-second opening tax ramp before normal trading conditions apply.

What the Argus Bundler adds

The Bundler puts the launch, your developer buy and up to 20 sniper wallets in one form. The developer buy is atomic with token creation. Sniper wallets are timed around the opening ramp: Smithii waits until three seconds after launch, gets a fresh quote for each wallet, and sends the purchases one after another with a minimum output based on 20% slippage.

Sniper private keys are used only in your browser. The public journal that lets you recover a launch after a reload keeps addresses, statuses and transaction hashes, never keys.

What can fail and what you pay

A sniper purchase can fail if the price moves past its minimum output or the wallet lacks USDC for the buy and gas. That failure does not undo the launch or the developer buy. The 25 USDC Smithii fee is requested before the launch is signed, once the exact launch transaction has been simulated, and it is never charged twice for the same launch.
