and our thesis goes beyond memecoins we think the same rails can eventually support markets built around other onchain assets, including tokenized equities and RWAs as the underlying infrastructure becomes available on @arc

community-owned markets that pay back a market can direct trading fees toward mechanisms such as: → holder rewards → buybacks → burns → creator revenue → liquidity ...and more, so stay tuned 😏

ArcApe is built around a flywheel loop: create → trade → graduate → pay back → repeat markets should be able to turn activity into value that flows back to the people who created, traded and supported them

today, most launchpads follow the same loop: create → trade → graduate → extract creators launch traders speculate platforms collect fees then everyone moves on to the next token we think the model can be better

we’re building community-created markets that don’t extract attention and liquidity from their communities we would return value to them

we said we’d rather launch smaller and launch clean - no private-mainnet head start - no pretending demo assets were real markets - no treating the public as exit liquidity for wallets that got there first

before mainnet, we made a deliberate decision not to launch early private access meant an uneven starting line limited liquidity, no open bridge, and a market where a small group of insders could position before everyone else arrived we didn’t want to build on that advantage
