HOW TO PLAY ARCADE

Arcade is a token launchpad built on Arc Chain, Circle's EVM-compatible L1 blockchain. Anyone can create a token and instantly get a liquidity pair on DyorSwap, making it tradeable from the moment it launches.

No pre-sales, no insider allocations, no waiting periods. Your token goes live with real liquidity the second you deploy it. Arc Chain uses USDC as its native gas token, so every transaction settles in USDC (Chain ID: 5042).

Arcade uses a standard LP (Liquidity Pool) model powered by DyorSwap, a Uniswap V2 fork on Arc Chain. When you create a token, the system:

1. Deploys a standard ERC-20 token contract with 1 billion total supply.
2. Sends 80% of the supply into a DyorSwap liquidity pair, paired with your initial USDC.
3. Sends the remaining 20% to your wallet as creator tokens.
4. LP tokens go to you as the creator, representing your share of the liquidity pool.

Token supply breakdown

Because tokens are paired on a real DEX from the start, they are immediately visible on DEX aggregators, trading bots, and portfolio trackers. No graduation phase, no waiting.

1. Connect your wallet. Use MetaMask or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet. Make sure you are on Arc Chain (Chain ID 5042).
2. Click "Start game" or "Spawn coin". This opens the creation form.
3. Fill in token details. Choose a name, ticker symbol, description, and upload an image.
4. Set initial liquidity. Enter the amount of USDC you want to pair with 80% of the token supply. This is your initial investment and determines the starting price. More USDC = higher starting market cap.
5. Deploy. Confirm the transaction. Your token contract deploys, a DyorSwap LP pair is created, and liquidity is added in a single transaction. Your token is instantly tradeable.

Buying tokens

Navigate to any token page and enter the amount of USDC you want to spend. The trade executes through the DyorSwap router, swapping USDC for tokens in the LP pair. Your tokens arrive in your wallet immediately.

Selling tokens

Switch to the sell tab, enter the number of tokens to sell, and confirm. The first time you sell a token, you will need to approve the DyorSwap router to spend your tokens. After approval, USDC is sent to your wallet.

Trading elsewhere

Since tokens have standard DyorSwap LP pairs, you can also trade them directly on DyorSwap, or any DEX aggregator that supports Arc Chain.

Price impact

Larger trades relative to the pool size will have more price impact. Small pools with low liquidity will see bigger price swings.

The 2% platform fee is deducted from your initial liquidity when you create a token. For example, if you launch with 10 USDC, 0.2 USDC goes to the platform and 9.8 USDC goes into the LP pair.

After launch, trading fees follow the standard DyorSwap 0.3% LP fee, which is distributed to liquidity providers. Arcade does not charge additional fees on trades.
