Bullcheese, a memecoin launchpad built on Circle’s Arc blockchain, went live alongside Arc’s public mainnet launch on September 16, 2026. The platform is structured around direct trading in locked Uniswap v3 liquidity pools rather than the bonding-curve model commonly used by token launchpads.
Arc was introduced by Circle as an open Layer 1 focused on financial services and fast movement of money, with transaction fees paid in USDC instead of a native gas token. Circle said more than 100 applications were ready for Arc at launch, and Bullcheese is among those listed as Arc-ready.
Launch model built around locked liquidity
Bullcheese’s core design is to place a token’s full supply into a single locked Uniswap v3 position from the first block. Each token has a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000, and the project says that supply remains in the pool so the token trades there permanently.
Because the pool exists at launch, there is no separate graduation or migration phase before public trading begins. The result is a standard Uniswap v3 market from the outset, rather than a token first trading along a bonding curve and later moving into external liquidity.
No upfront liquidity requirement for creators
According to the project description, token creators can launch without posting liquidity themselves. Gas on Arc is paid in USDC, and Bullcheese also allows an optional initial buy that can be included in the locked liquidity position.
The fee model is tied to trading activity. Bullcheese uses a 1% trading fee, with 75% of that fee allocated to the creator and 25% retained by the platform. The project presents this as an organic revenue model based on market activity rather than upfront launch payments.
Infrastructure, chain details, and lock terms
Bullcheese runs on Arc chain ID 5042 and is developed by TrustSwap El Salvador, S.A. de C.V. For the token minting, pool creation, and liquidity locking process, it uses MintPlus from Team Finance.
The article states that the liquidity locking system has been audited by multiple security firms. Liquidity can be locked for terms ranging from 90 days to five years, although the minimum lock period may be adjustable by the contract owner.
Positioning and access limits
Bullcheese says its token rankings and labels, including Fresh Cheese, Aged Cheese, and Bulls Arena, are based on trading activity rather than any claim about the underlying quality of a token. It also states that featuring a token does not amount to an endorsement.
Access to the platform is restricted in some jurisdictions, including the UK and the EU, among others. The source article did not provide a full list of restricted locations or further detail on how those limits are enforced.
What comes next on Arc
Bullcheese’s launch gives Arc an early memecoin issuance and trading venue that is aligned with the chain’s day-one trading stack, which Circle said includes infrastructure such as Uniswap. The immediate next confirmed step is simply live operation on mainnet, where tokens can begin trading as soon as their pool is created.
More broadly, the project’s early rollout serves as one example of how Arc-based applications are using Circle’s USDC-gas model in production. Whether the locked-pool approach gains traction relative to bonding-curve launchpads will depend on actual usage after launch.
