Arc mainnet is open, and our launchpad went up on day one — along with the first game of the hooks meme season.

A sell tax you can't change isn't a honeypot, it's just a fee. In 2021 it lived inside the token's transfer function, where whoever deployed it could raise it to 99% after you bought, or blacklist you outright. Here it lives in the Uniswap v4 pool: written when the pool opens, no owner and no setter to change it afterwards, ceiling checked by the contract at deployment. The token stays a plain ERC-20, transfers are untaxed, so wallets and aggregators handle it like any other coin.

Buy 1%, sell 3%, both readable straight off the contract.

[Arc @arc]

The ARC token has been minted.

Circle is the first publicly traded company to mint a network token for a new blockchain.

This is a technical milestone in the Arc roadmap as the network explores a future transition from Proof of Authority toward Proof of Stake.

The minting of ARC does not represent any commitment to a public launch of the token.

ARC is not live, tradeable, available for public use, or active for staking, governance, fees, or utility. The Arc network remains Proof of Authority today. Future ARC functionality and activation remain subject to change.

@danrobinson Same problem from the buyer's side. A router can keep an allowlist; the person clicking buy usually can't. So the agent reads the hook address off the pool before buying, and every pool our launchpad opens on Arc has it set to zero. A fact we show, not a verdict.

[AZEx 🪼 @azex_ai]

Two things I bet you've done onchain.

Bought the wrong token. Same name, same logo, different address. Or the right one, and then found out it has a 30% sell tax, or you just can't sell it at all. Sure, someone labels these eventually. New ones show up before anyone gets around to labeling them.

Added liquidity on Uniswap, then sat there looking at a position you didn't really understand, wondering what happens when price moves. Taking it out again? Same puzzle, backwards.

That's kind of how onchain has always been. Built for people who already know. The rest of us learn from someone's docs at 2am, a Telegram group, and a few small mistakes.

So here's what we're building. Azex is an onchain exchange for the AI era. You just say what you want. Before it buys anything, the agent checks the token for you: the fee, the tax, whether you can actually sell, who's holding it. Then it does the thing and tells you what it did, in normal words. Buy, launch, add liquidity, pull it out. All in one sentence.

And it gets better the more you use it. Every chat teaches it how you trade and what you care about. After a while it's less of a tool and more like your own DeFi friend who happens to know everything and never gets tired of your questions.

We're starting with a token launchpad on @arc. It's live on testnet right now. From here the agent heads into a lot more of what people do onchain. Come try it, and if you want to build with us, the door's open.

Azex (https://t.co/b75CtyTENA) — token launchpad on @arc, built as an onchain exchange for the AI era.

Mechanics: one tx deploys a fixed-supply token, opens a USDC pool and moves the LP position into a contract with no owner and no remove function; the fee split is fixed at launch.

A copilot finds, explains and trades for you.

Postman is the fastest way to get hands on a new API surface before committing to a stack. Tom built a workspace covering the Uniswap API end to end: quote requests, swap requests, swap status, error responses, all visualized side by side.

"This was fully vibe coded. Just literally one line as a prompt and just digested the trading API."

You can poke at every endpoint and see what comes back before writing any app code.

Uniswap web app, mobile wallet, and browser extension are now totally free products!!

No frontend swap fees, fees on positive slippage, or any other app level fees

After #Uniswap's fee burn proposal was approved, the #Uniswap treasury burned 100M $UNI($591M) 4 hours ago.

'You guys are out here fighting the good fight, making all this noise and looking like you’re doing pretty damn well… and somehow no one thought to bring me along for the ride? Feels like I missed the group chat invite. 😭'

[Hayden Adams 🦄 @haydenzadams]

Fascinating if a bit infurating to watch. Some takeaways:

1) Just like Amanda Fischer tweets, an increasingly clear picture is coming forward - they didn't make a real attempt to understand the technology, mostly operated off vibes and things seemingly looking similar to other things on first glance - no consideration at all about self-custody, immutable code, the difference between something running on a server vs a blockchain

2) Zero willingness to disambiguate between the software developers, frontend, protocols, DAOs, etc

3) His definition of what "real" DeFi would be is so narrow he had to use the phrase "immaculate conception" to describe it. Basically dismisses everything other than bitcoin as centralized

4) He doesn't not understand how Uniswap upgrades work and seems to assume we make changes to the protocol codebase after deployment. This is not true. Each deployment is an entirely new codebase, old one continues to exist forever, and users have to choose to migrate funds to it. This is maximum decentralization, probably beyond hardforks.

5) When asked why they don't just hire some smart contract devs to understand how Uniswap works and if we have control he basically just acknowledged they dont understand how it works or make any attempt to. Says it would require trippling their budget. They employ literally thousands of lawyers to sue people, and only needed one dev lol

6) He says "come in and register" was in good faith and not a trap. So point to one crypto project that did this, was successful at it, and built a real business that is currently operational (you can't)

7) Glad he acknowledged it LOOKS really bad that all of Genslers texts magically disappeared even if he tried to play it off as an accident. If 2 years of my texts disappeared when they had a preservation notice against me they probably would have recommended criminal charges

Happening tomorrow.

Join @Derekmw23 for a session on how @Unichain is scaling, onboarding new protocols, and giving builders the infra they need for high-performance DeFi.

time travelers discussing @Uniswap

[Uniswap @Uniswap]

The internet made knowledge open

DeFi makes value open

[Jason Badeaux @jasonbadeaux]

No one wants to hear it but we already have the roadmap for token alignment: @Uniswap’s UNIfication proposal.

If you want to understand the “why” just go read @a16zcrypto’s articles on tokens and governance

1. DUNA gives a protocol legal personhood, ability to enter contracts, own IP

2. Protocol fees are programmatic, not routed through Labs’ wallet! Contracts are controlled by governance multisig. All revenue goes to token.

3. Labs Co converts to a PBC, with a chartered mandate to benefit the network

4. Labs Co gets paid in tokens from the DAO via a services contract

Please stop asking for rights. We have something better than rights - code.

Aave V4 is the most significant architectural evolution in the history of Aave.

The team rebuilt the system from the ground up with the new design called the Hub and Spoke. It makes it easier for others to build on. The bigger picture is that it allows the system to move beyond lending into a full liquidity infrastructure.

[AZEx 🪼 @azex_ai]

We're on it. 👊

#AZEx is building the permissionless perps layer for this exact vision on #Uniswap v4.

(We'll make sure our UI has a very, very cute pink theme. 🎀)👀

Spot + Perps. All in one. All on-chain.

[Ash @ashleighschap]

Uniswap needs perps, lending/leverage and prediction markets under one roof. Because we can do it all better, and because everything is cuter in pink. 🦄

[Hayden Adams 🦄 @haydenzadams]

Sometimes a new competitor pops up, talking a big game about dethroning Uniswap

We welcome the competition, the arena gets boring without it

Maybe they're right, maybe this time its different

But I doubt it
