It’s supposed to be a “superstar-level” public chain backed by Wall Street giants—so why, the moment it goes live, does the entire screen reek of cheap “dog” camera footage?
Yesterday, Arc chain’s mainnet launch livestream went live—and it really threw everyone into a frenzy.
After seeing blurry video call connections, and an Indian developer bro taking over the frame, the anti-rug instinct hardwired into the DNA of traders on CT instantly kicked in. Funds fled the scene, and within hours, Arc’s ecosystem—its Memes and platform tokens—saw drops ranging from 40% to 75%.
So how did this strong, “about to withdraw liquidity—this chain isn’t grand enough” vibe even come about?
Curiosity got the better of me, so I actually dug into Circle’s 6-hour online mainnet release event. Turns out, this really feels like a public-relations layout disaster...
The official team actually force-fitted random community call-ins and an upscale, institutional-grade venue into the same livestream feed—and shoved the most off-putting, worst-looking segment right at the very beginning.
So when people click in to watch, the first thing they see is the so-called Developer Pre-Show (developer preheating).
Naturally, the camera cuts to community builders from around the world—their rooms are a mess, the lighting is dim, the mic connections lag, and the whole thing gives off the vibe of a scam.
Then, the real headline segment arrives—quite late. The camera finally switches to a high-definition main stage in New York: well-dressed executives in suits, institutional big shots sitting under carefully arranged spotlights, talking endlessly about tokenization funds and macro finance...
In a crypto circle that cares so heavily about emotions and first impressions, the order of appearance may be everything.
In the end, once people form the impression of “a top half in couture, but the bottom half in ripped sandals,” the consensus can only be: “Something’s wrong—run.”
On-chain, as of now, among the projects on arc with a market cap exceeding 10M, it looks like only Argus
