What you accept by using this

Argus is a set of contracts on Arc and a website that talks to them. You launch and trade from your own wallet, straight to those contracts. We never take custody of your tokens or your USDC, we hold no keys over a token once it is launched, and there is no account to open and nothing for us to freeze, reverse, or refund. If a transaction settles the wrong way, it has settled.

Anyone can launch here. There is no listing to apply for, no approval step, and no review. That is the point of the product and it is also the largest risk in it.

Tokens on this site are created and promoted by third parties. The name, symbol, image, and links attached to a token were typed by whoever deployed it, and none of it is checked by us. Appearing on Argus means somebody paid gas. It means nothing else.

The Arc tokens index goes further still. It is a scan of the chain for tokens with a Uniswap v3 pool, so most of what it lists was neither launched by Argus nor has any relationship with it. It is a directory of what exists, not a shelf of what we recommend. Verify the contract address yourself before you trade, from a source that is not this site.

Nothing on this site is investment, legal, or tax advice. These tokens are extremely volatile and most of them go to zero. Trade only what you are willing to lose in full, and do your own research before you do.

Argus has not had a professional security audit. The contracts and this interface are provided as is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied. Bugs may exist that cause partial or total loss of funds. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of this software.

Immutability is a promise about what cannot change, not a promise that any given token is a good idea. There is no mint function, no pause switch, no blacklist, and no upgrade proxy. That constrains us as much as it protects you: we could not rescue a token from its own creator if we wanted to.

Every launch, plain or tax, opens a Uniswap v3 pool at the 1 percent fee tier, and the entire launch position is held by a contract with no owner and no withdrawal path. The principal can never leave it. The swap fees it earns can: collecting them is permissionless, and when anyone does, the token side is burned and the USDC side is divided between the creator and the protocol treasury in a ratio fixed at deployment and readable on-chain. So Argus can earn from trading against a launch, including while it is still on the curve. Read that ratio rather than assuming which way it falls.

A creator can launch a plain token or a tax token. On a tax token the creator also sets a buy tax and a sell tax at launch, 0 to 10 percent each with at least one above zero, and fixes how the collected tax is divided between the creator wallet, buybacks, and holder dividends. The rates can only ever be lowered afterwards, never raised. The division between the three is fixed outright and cannot be changed at all. Argus takes a protocol fee out of the collected tax before that division. All of it is visible on-chain.

The sell tax is best effort, and we would rather say so here than let you find out. Uniswap v3 requires a pool to receive exactly what it was sent, so the sell tax is charged against what the seller still holds afterwards. A wallet selling its entire balance has nothing left to charge, and neither do routes that forward exactly what they take, which includes multi-hop paths and most aggregators. Those sells pay nothing. The alternative was making whole-bag sells revert, which is the signature of a honeypot, so we chose this. The full mechanism is in the docs.

Prices, market caps, and progress bars are derived from on-chain state at the time the page was built or last revalidated, which means some of them are minutes old. The Arc tokens index is a periodic scan with a liquidity floor applied, so it is neither complete nor current, and a market cap computed from a nearly empty pool is arithmetic rather than a valuation.

Arc has no Quoter contract deployed, so any trade estimate shown here is computed locally against the pool as it stands. It assumes liquidity does not change and that your trade does not cross a tick, which makes every estimate an optimistic upper bound. What you actually receive can be less. Nothing displayed is a quote, an offer, or a promise of execution.

Argus runs bots that convert collected tax to USDC and push dividends out to holders. They are a convenience and not a commitment. If they stop, nothing is lost: those functions are permissionless, balances keep accruing on-chain, and anyone at all can call them and pay the gas.

The website itself carries no uptime guarantee either. It can go down, and the contracts keep running without it. We may change, restrict, or withdraw any part of this interface at any time.

You are responsible for obeying the law where you are, including any restriction on trading digital assets and any tax you owe. Do not use this site where doing so would be unlawful, and do not use it if you are subject to sanctions. You are responsible for the security of your wallet and your keys, and for checking the address you are about to trade against.

Do not use Argus to launch a token that infringes someone else, impersonates a person or a project, or exists to defraud its buyers.

Using this site involves software we do not control: your wallet, Arc RPC endpoints, the Uniswap v3 contracts trades route through, the block explorer behind our links, and the image hosts token logos come from. Each is independent of Argus and carries its own terms. What each of them can see is set out in the privacy notice.

These terms can change, and continuing to use the site means accepting the version published here. The acknowledgment your browser stores is versioned, so a material change re-prompts everyone rather than being backdated to a click you made months ago.
