Arc mainnet goes live as ARGUS and meme token COOL draw early trading interest

Circle-backed public chain Arc went live at around 9 a.m. UTC+8 on Sept. 16, with cross-chain transfers already open, according to GMGN data cited by BlockBeats. In the first hour after launch, several early speculative names stood out on-chain: ARGUS, the token tied to the ArgusPad issuance platform, led the group with a $14.1 million market cap and a $540,000 liquidity pool. LONG, linked to the long issuance platform, was valued at $7.76 million with $324,000 in liquidity, while TOLLY reached a $5.25 million market cap and a $275,000 liquidity pool. COOL, described as an early community meme token under the name “usdc is cool,” posted a $6 million market cap and $360,000 in liquidity. BlockBeats also noted that LONG had previously become controversial after trader Bonk Guy promoted it, with multiple community users questioning the project’s security and citing concerns including high token concentration. The outlet warned that Arc has only just launched, most tokens on the chain have trading volume below $1 million, concentration levels remain unclear, liquidity is thin, and price swings could be severe.

Bonk Guy says Arc is trying to draw meme traders ahead of launch, sees echoes of Robinhood Chain’s playbook

Bonk Guy said on X that several developers tied to the Arc ecosystem have contacted him over the past few weeks as the network prepares for launch, with the goal of bringing meme-coin traders in during the chain’s early stage. In his view, the Arc team appears to have recognized that meme trading can be one of the faster ways for a new chain to lift on-chain activity, and it may be borrowing from the ecosystem bootstrapping approach previously used by Robinhood Chain. He added that Arc had not been a major focus for him before, but that he has recently started a short-term position. According to his post, he has bought LONG, the native token of Arc’s main launchpad, as well as the top three meme coins by market capitalization on that platform. At the same time, he stressed that the Arc trade is only a short-term, high-risk attempt and does not change his longer-term preference for on-chain trading activity on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Solana. Earlier reports said Arc mainnet is scheduled to go live on Sept. 16.

Quantus to launch mainnet on Sept. 9, with mining as the only initial token access route

Quantus founder and CEO Yuvi Lightman said on X that the quantum-resistant blockchain’s mainnet is scheduled to go live on Sept. 9, a Wednesday. At launch, mining will be the only way to obtain tokens, while liquidity and trading functionality are expected to come several weeks later. Lightman said the team has merged its Immunefi security work into the public codebase and completed all fixes from its audit contest. He also outlined several protocol and infrastructure measures ahead of launch, including support for ML-DSA-65 and ML-DSA-87, contextual binding for every signature under the FIPS 204 standard, fail-closed handling for undecodable multisig transactions, and a hardened network stack designed to resist denial-of-service attacks. The team said it completed a full end-to-end rehearsal on a global pre-production mainnet spanning the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia. Quantus also said it deployed multi-region bootnodes and dedicated RPC nodes through infrastructure-as-code, reduced indexer memory usage from above 90% to about 26%, launched its registration page, revamped its website, added multi-account support for Keystone hardware wallets, and released CLI v2.1.3 and miner v4.0.2. A Quantum & Privacy Day event with NEAR is set for Oct. 8 in Singapore during Token2049.

AEGIS X (XDAO) Sets Sept. 3 Mainnet Launch, Moves Into USD1 × AI × DeFi Ecosystem Phase

According to ChainCatcher, AEGIS X, also referred to as XDAO, has announced that its mainnet will officially go live tomorrow, Sept. 3, 2026. The launch date marks the point at which the project says it will fully enter ecosystem operations and begin a phase of global market expansion. Before the mainnet goes up, AEGIS X had already wrapped up the global co-building phase of its Genesis Reserve Steward Program. That phase produced cumulative co-building volume of $31,656,800. AEGIS X positions USD1 as the core settlement asset of its network. Around that asset, it is building an ecosystem that combines USD1, AI and DeFi, with application areas that include stablecoin liquidity, on-chain payments, DAO collaborative governance and AI Agent scenarios. The project's stated direction is to bring more on-chain applications and users into the USD1 ecosystem, and the Sept. 3 mainnet launch is the step that starts that expansion.

FUNVERSE's First On-Chain Game 'FUN LONGINUS' Goes Live on Anubis Chain Today

FUNVERSE's first on-chain game, FUN LONGINUS, goes live on the Anubis Chain mainnet today at 10:00 UTC (18:00 Beijing time). The title, born from a hackathon, is a wuxia-themed game built for the Anubis GameFi ecosystem. It draws on martial-arts elements like jianghu arenas, master-disciple lineage, and artifact mechanics, and structures its competitions around the 24 solar terms. Each round brings 24 unique addresses together, and players use the platform's fLGNS token to enter the arena. Smart contracts oversee match execution, outcome verification, and final settlement, with one league leader crowned at the end. All match records, reward distributions, mentorship links, and player histories remain stored on-chain. On August 18, FUN LONGINUS completed its 'shared casting' phase, which was valued at over $1.4 million at current market prices. The launch marks the game's official debut and adds a new on-chain gaming option to the Anubis ecosystem.
