Arc mainnet is live now, and the most bustling place is the battle over the launch pads.
First, let’s talk about why everyone is eyeing the launch pads.
In a new chain’s early days, whoever becomes the first place where people earn tokens—then the tokens that emerge afterward will most likely come from there. So the platform tokens tied to the launch pad will be the first to move, and they’ll move the hardest.
Now, the platform tokens on a few of these pads have already started surging.
How do you decide the winner? By market cap. Whoever gets on top first essentially gets to sit firmly as the new top dog (Dragon One). This kind of competition mostly comes down to market cap.
The first one worth watching is Argus.
This is the launch pad with the strongest support from the most vehicles, with a market cap around 22m.
I think this is a place you can set up a position quietly.

The second is Tolly.
Its heat is also pretty good, with a market cap of 15m.
Treat this like a lottery—bet on whether it can rise up and secure Dragon One.

Both are already on the table, and it’s still not clear who’s going to win.
I’ll keep watching—whoever runs out ahead first, I’ll be the first to call it out.
