#GateMemeCarnival Arc Mainnet went live on September 16, and the first thing that caught my attention was not a single meme token it was the speed at which trading activity appeared across the new ecosystem. Arcscan recorded approximately 7.76 million transactions on September 16 and another 5.47 million on September 17. That means the launch generated millions of on-chain transactions almost immediately, creating a very different environment for early meme-token trading.

The important part for Gate users is that Arc-chain meme assets can now be accessed directly through Gate Trenches. Instead of first setting up another on-chain wallet and separately managing the network experience, supported Arc tokens can be traded through the Trenches interface using USDT. For early-stage meme trading, reducing that friction can matter because liquidity often moves faster than traders can react.

The current 0-Gas setup makes the early trading environment even more interesting. Arc assets supported through Trenches are currently available with 0-Gas trading, alongside a limited-time 0.5% trading fee. For a meme market where traders frequently enter and exit positions quickly, the difference between network friction and a simplified execution flow can directly affect how actively liquidity moves between tokens.

PANCHU (Pacharan) is one of the Arc-chain meme assets initially supported through Trenches, making it a useful token to watch through actual market data rather than simply following the launch narrative. The numbers I would record around any Arc meme trade are straightforward: entry price, current or exit price, 24-hour volume, 24-hour price change, liquidity, holder growth and the buy/sell ratio. Those figures tell a much clearer story about whether a token is attracting genuine trading participation or simply experiencing a short-lived spike.

The transaction data from Arc provides useful context for this. Going from 7.76 million transactions on launch day to 5.47 million the following day still represents a very large amount of network activity, although the decline itself is worth monitoring. For meme traders, the key question is whether token-level liquidity and volume can remain active as the initial mainnet excitement cools down.

PONS provides another interesting comparison for liquidity rotation. Gate News reported approximately $270 million in 24-hour Robinhood Chain meme volume, with PONS contributing around $66.7 million. That does not mean Arc and Robinhood Chain have the same market structure, but it demonstrates how quickly meme liquidity can concentrate around a small number of tokens when a new ecosystem becomes active.

This is why I would not judge an Arc meme simply by its percentage gain. A token showing +30% with weak liquidity can behave very differently from one showing a smaller move while volume, holders and liquidity are expanding together. The strongest signal is the combination: price movement + volume expansion + deeper liquidity + increasing holders + balanced buy/sell activity.

Arc's launch has therefore created a fresh test for meme-market liquidity. The ecosystem already produced millions of transactions during its first two days, while Gate Trenches is giving traders direct access to supported Arc assets. The next phase is about discovering which tokens can retain meaningful volume after the initial launch rush.

For #GateMemeCarnival, the useful trading record is not just “I traded an Arc meme.” It is the complete data trail: token → entry → price movement → 24H volume → liquidity → holder change → buy/sell ratio → exit or current position. That turns a meme trade into an actual market observation and makes it possible to see whether Arc's early activity is translating into sustainable token-level liquidity.

The first wave of Arc meme trading is already underway. Now the data will show which tokens are actually earning liquidity and which ones are only benefiting from the launch-day attention. @Gate_Square
