Hopium is an independent, community-built token launchpad deployed on Arc. It enables users to create and trade tokens priced in USDC, other currencies, or more than 200 stocks and exchange-traded funds. The platform is designed for one-click launches and same-second trading, with transactions settling on Arc in USDC, which serves as the network’s native gas token. By denominating launches in USDC, Hopium aims to keep token market capitalization from fluctuating with changes in the gas token’s price.

Hopium also provides automatic routing: a buyer’s initial purchase begins in Arc dollars and swaps into the selected stock within the same transaction. Users can explore available pricing assets, browse tokens, and access analytics and documentation. The site links to external trading and market-data services, including GMGN, Dexscreener, and GeckoTerminal. Hopium says its launcher, hook, locker, and token deployer contracts are publicly source-verified with matching bytecode. The platform states that it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Circle Internet Group, Inc.
