How Hopium works
Everything below describes the live contracts deployed on Arc (chain 5042): pairing, pricing, fees, payouts and the locker, written out in full.
What Hopium is
Hopium is a launchpad on Arc. You create a token, pair it with a real tokenized asset, and it trades instantly in a Uniswap v4 pool with locked liquidity. No presale, no bonding curve graduation step.
Pairing with stocks
Instead of pairing against a volatile coin, your token is paired against a tokenized equity that lives on Arc. Its price is therefore quoted in that stock, so your chart reflects performance relative to a real company.
Paying in plain dollars
Arc uses USDC as its native gas asset. When you make a first buy, you can simply pay in dollars. The launcher routes that amount through Uniswap on Arc into the stock you picked, then seeds the pool. You never have to hold the stock first.
USDC is gas on Arc. A small USDC balance covers both the launch fee and every transaction after it.
Fees and creator rewards
You pick the trading fee at launch, anywhere from 3% to 10%. The platform always keeps 2% and the rest is yours, so a 3% fee pays you 1% of every trade and a 10% fee pays you 8%. Both shares accrue inside the pool hook and can be read on the Rewards page at any time.
How payouts reach your wallet
Accrued fees go to the creator wallet set at launch and to the platform wallet. Every coin pays out in dollars: a dollar-paired coin pays straight out, and a coin paired with a stock, an ETF or another currency has its fees swapped back into dollars first. If a swap is ever unavailable the paired token is handed over instead, so a payout can never get stuck.
Source verification
Every token minted here uses the same audited token code, and verification is submitted automatically right after launch, with retries until the explorer accepts it. The protocol contracts themselves are verified with an exact bytecode match.
Liquidity locking
Launch liquidity is deposited into a locker contract at creation, so it cannot be pulled by the creator.
The locker has no withdraw path for principal. Only accrued fees can ever be collected and split. There is no state in which a Hopium pool can be drained by its creator.
Supported pairing assets
Every asset below is live on Arc with on-chain liquidity, so a token can be priced in it today. Fee payouts settle in dollars for every pairing, with non-dollar pairs converted on the way out.
