Carc docs

How it works.

Tokens launched on Carc are created in one transaction on Arc. That transaction opens a Uniswap v4 pool and burns the liquidity. The rules below apply to every token on this site.

Overview

Anyone can launch a token in one transaction. Liquidity is destroyed the moment it exists. The token is tradable from the first block in a real Uniswap v4 pool, at the same price for everyone.

Total supply
1,000,000,000

Fixed. No mint. No team unlock.

Opening FDV
~4,200 USDC

Every USDC-quoted launch starts at the same price.

Trading fee
0.75% or 1.00%

1.00% when creator rewards are on.

Snipe window
3 seconds

Early buys pay a decaying tax. Creator launch buy is exempt.

Graduation
73.86%

Share of supply bought. Milestone only — no migration.

Liquidity
Burned at launch

Position sent to a dead address. Cannot be withdrawn.

Launch

Name, symbol, description, image. One signature creates the token, seeds the pool with the full 1 billion supply, and freezes fee terms — including the creator address that can claim rewards. No presale, no allocation, no wait.

Launch costs a flat 1 USDC plus gas, charged by the launchpad contract. Native USDC is the quote. The pair is permanent.

You can buy up to 5% of supply in that same transaction. It is optional, priced on the same curve as any other buy, and is the only purchase exempt from snipe tax — it settles before the market exists for anyone else.

The bar on each token is how much supply has been bought and not sold back. At 73.86% the token graduates. Nothing moves, nothing unlocks. Trading stays in the same pool.

Snipe protection

For the first 3 seconds after a pool opens, buys pay a tax on top of the trading fee. It starts near everything and collapses fast.

  • Applies to buys only. Sells are never taxed.
  • The creator’s launch buy is exempt.
  • Tax plus fee together are capped at 99%.
  • Enforced by the pool. Bots cannot route around it.

There is no edge in buying inside the window. Wait three seconds.

Trading

Tokens trade on Uniswap v4 with on-chain slippage protection. Prices move along the liquidity curve. It is a real pool from block one.

Every USDC-quoted launch opens at about 4,200 USDC FDV. Buying pushes price up the curve; selling brings it down. Quotes on this site simulate your exact trade against the live pool, fees included.

The pool is public. The fee is inside the pool, so a trade costs the same on this site or any other router.

Fees

A trade costs 1.00% with creator rewards on, or 0.75% with them off. Same rate on buy and sell. The creator chooses at launch; the choice is permanent.

Creator rewards on · 1.00%

Creator 0.25%

Carc 0.75%

Creator rewards off · 0.75%

Carc 0.75%

Creator 0%

Creators never receive a token allocation. Their reward is 0.25% of every trade, in USDC, claimable from Fees by the address named at launch. Gas is paid in USDC because that is what Arc charges.

Liquidity

Launch liquidity is not held by the creator and not held by Carc. Ownership of the position is destroyed in the same transaction that creates the pool: it is sent to a dead address nobody has the key to. There is no withdrawal function. Pulling it is impossible.

Risks

  • Launch tokens are volatile and can go to zero.
  • Anyone can reuse a name, ticker, or logo. Always check the token address.
  • Graduation is a supply milestone, not a quality signal.
  • Wallet transactions are irreversible.
  • Carc does not custody assets and does not give financial advice.
