What uarc.me shows publicly about its Arc launchpad, and what remains unconfirmed as of 2 Sep 2026. > uarc (uarc.me) markets itself with the tagline "Launch on Arc. Trade in USDC," promising liquidity locked from the first block. As of 2 Sep 2026 the public record beyond that landing page is minimal — no team, docs, audit, or contract information was found. This page states what's known and stops there. **Builds on Arc:** A claimed Arc token launchpad promising USDC-settled trading — no team, docs or contract yet observed. · **Role:** Deploys · **Category:** Launchpads, NFT & Meme → Launchpads ## What uarc says about itself uarc's homepage describes a token-launch model built around Arc's native USDC settlement: "Launch a token on Arc with liquidity locked from the first block, and trade it in USDC." A second line of marketing copy states that "creators only earn while they hold," framed as an alignment mechanism between token creators and holders — implying some kind of vesting or fee-sharing structure tied to a creator continuing to hold their own token. That is the extent of the self-description available on the public site as fetched on 2 Sep 2026. ## What's verifiable as of 2 Sep 2026 The domain uarc.me resolves and displays the tagline and value proposition described above, using a consistent green brand color across its metadata and social-share image. That confirms a public-facing presence exists. Search turned up no separate documentation site, GitHub repository, whitepaper, or announcement post from Arc or Circle referencing uarc. No named founders or company entity were found attached to the project. ## What is not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026 The "liquidity locked from the first block" claim is uarc's own marketing language — whether any lock mechanism exists on-chain, what it locks, for how long, and whether it is independently checkable on an explorer is **not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026**. The "creators only earn while they hold" mechanism is described only at the level of a tagline; its actual rules are **not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026**. Team identity, funding, and audit status are all **not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026**. Whether uarc has any deployed contracts on Arc testnet, and whether any tokens have actually launched through it, is **not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026**. ## Status and on-chain checks **Status:** Announced only. **On-chain checks (Deploys role):** Contract — none published. Liquidity-lock claim ("locked from first block") — unconfirmed, no contract to check. Audit — none found. ## How to check it yourself The landing page is the entire public record checked for this page, so a reader doing their own diligence should start there and look for anything that has changed since 2 Sep 2026 — a docs link, a launched token, a contract address you can paste into Arc's testnet explorer. If uarc has since published a contract, verify it directly on-chain rather than trusting a claim in the UI. Our general walkthrough — [how to research an Arc project before using it](/guides/how-to-read-an-arc-project-entry) — covers where to look for explorer records, audit registries, and team disclosures on any pre-mainnet Arc project. See also [Launchpads on Arc](/category/launchpads-nft-meme) for the category this project sits in. Built on Arc does not rank or compare launchpads — for a ranked comparison of Arc launchpads, see Meme Central's [best Arc launchpads guide](https://memecentral.fun/guides/best-arc-launchpads?utm_source=builtonarc&utm_medium=guide&utm_campaign=arc). Sources: - [uarc.me](https://uarc.me/) ## Questions **What does "trade in USDC" mean for uarc specifically?** It appears to describe settling trades in USDC rather than a separate quote asset, consistent with how gas and much of Arc's design centers on USDC. Beyond the tagline, uarc's specific trading mechanics are not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026. **Is uarc's liquidity-lock claim verifiable on-chain?** Not from the public materials checked for this page. If uarc has published a contract address, check it directly against Arc's testnet explorer rather than relying on the marketing claim. **Does uarc have a whitepaper or documentation?** None was found in public search as of 2 Sep 2026. **Is uarc connected to Circle or Arc officially?** No official acknowledgement from Circle or Arc was found as of 2 Sep 2026. **Has uarc launched any tokens yet?** Not yet confirmed as of 2 Sep 2026 — no evidence of live launches was found in the sources checked.
