Blast will be shutting down. We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable. As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down. We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible. We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA. To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours. As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours. Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay. Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then. We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

We can view $ARGUS V2 as one of the main potential catalysts for the next phase. 0xece5ca8bf9220718e5727754026757512212cb3c V2 is upgrading ARGUS from a simple Launchpad into Token Lifecycle + Trading Infrastructure. ARGUS is already one of the important Launchpads on Arc. Its core model is:Token Launch → Uniswap V4 → Trading and it generates platform revenue through trading taxes, LP Fees, etc. According to current DefiLlama data, ARGUS has generated approximately $2.94M in Fees and $293.6K in Protocol Revenue over the past 30 days, with around $1.45M TVL. And V2 is the catalyst that is truly worth watching in the next phase. The core V2 features officially announced include: CTO (Community Takeover) Holder-prioritized distribution More flexible Creator Fees Creator Token Locking The common point of these features is not simply adding more functions, but solving one core problem: What happens after a Token is launched? Previously:Launch → Trading → Dev Leaves → Token Loses Operations → Trading Volume Declines V2 is trying to turn this into:Launch → Trading → Dev Leaves → Community Takeover → New Team Continues Operating → Longer Token Lifespan Among these, CTO is one of the most important changes. If a Dev abandons a project, the community can take it over instead of letting the Token die immediately. At the same time, Creator Fees can be distributed more flexibly, for example to developers, contributors, etc., rather than simply going to the Creator. The official Bot has already started supporting this kind of Fee Assignment. Therefore, ARGUS’s positioning is beginning to change: V1: Launchpad → Token Launch → Trading V2: Launchpad → Trading → Community Ownership → Fee Distribution → Token Lifecycle Combined with Token Locking, this is an attempt to reduce Dev selling and short Token lifecycles. So I believe V2 itself is the clearest potential catalyst for ARGUS’s next phase. But we need to distinguish between: V2 Announcement = Expected Catalyst V2 Official Launch = Event Catalyst Real CTO / Trading / Revenue after V2 Launch = Fundamental Catalyst The third layer is what really matters.Because if V2 simply launches without users actually using the features, the Narrative remains just a Narrative. But if we see:V2 → CTO Project → Community Takeover → Project Becomes Active Again → Trading Volume ↑ → Fees ↑ then ARGUS proves that it is not just a Launchpad, but is actually managing the entire lifecycle of Tokens. More importantly, ARGUS already has real economic activity. Current third-party data shows that ARGUS’s revenue mainly comes from Launch Token trading taxes and LP Fees, with approximately $2.94M in Fees and $293.6K in Protocol Revenue over the past 30 days. So its original flywheel is:More Launches → More Trading → More Fees → ARGUS Revenue After V2, this can further become:More Launches → More Tokens → More Trading → More Creator Fees → More Community Incentives → More CTO → Longer Token Lifespan → More Trading This effectively adds a Token Retention Loop to ARGUS. At the same time, ARGUS also has its own Token Value Capture. The project team has previously stated that a large portion of platform revenue is used for ARGUS Buyback/Burn. Third-party sources have recorded the project’s statement about an 80% Revenue Buyback, but this percentage comes from the project’s own disclosure and should not be treated as independently audited data. Therefore, the complete Token flywheel is:ARGUS Launches ↑ → Trading Volume ↑ → Platform Fees ↑ → ARGUS Buyback/Burn ↑ → Supply ↓ → Attention ↑ → More Launches V2 adds: CTO → Longer Token Lifespan → More Trading So ARGUS is now beginning to have two flywheels: Product Flywheel: Launch → Trading → CTO → Longer Lifespan → More Trading Token Flywheel:Trading → Fees → ARGUS Buyback/Burn → Supply ↓ → Attention → More Trading In addition, ARGUS has greater Optionality further down the road. The team has publicly mentioned Index Pair Tokens and Stocks on the roadmap and plans to pursue them after xStocks brings stocks to Arc, although there is currently no confirmed launch date. If these actually go live in the future, ARGUS could continue evolving from: Arc Launchpad → Arc Trading Infrastructure → Community-Owned Token Infrastructure → Privacy / RWA / Stock Pairing This is also why I would not simply interpret ARGUS’s future upside as “Arc Meme continues to rise.” The real market bet could be:Arc Growth → More Tokens → More Trading → More Fees → ARGUS Value Capture plus:V2 → CTO → Token Lifecycle → More Sustainable Trading and eventually:Stock / Index Pair → RWA Trading → More Asset Volume So for ARGUS’s next phase, I would watch the catalysts in this order: First: V2 Official Launch This is the clearest near-term event catalyst. Second: A Real Successful CTO Case This is the most important Product Validation. If a Token that has already died is taken over by the community and starts generating trading volume again, it would directly prove that CTO has real utility. Third: Trading Volume and Revenue Growth Driven by V2 Ultimately, it still comes back to:V2 → Users → Volume → Fees → ARGUS Buyback/Burn Fourth: Stock / Index Pair Launch This would further expand the RWA Narrative around ARGUS. Therefore, my current view of ARGUS’s positioning is: Before: ARGUS = Arc First Runner / Launchpad Now: ARGUS = Arc Launchpad + Trading Infrastructure After V2: ARGUS = Token Launch + Trading + Community Ownership + Token Lifecycle Infrastructure If Stock / Index Pair and Privacy-related roadmap items continue to be implemented, it could further become: ARGUS = Token + RWA + Trading Infrastructure on Arc But the most important point is not to price every roadmap item as already realized fundamentals. V2 is the next catalyst, but what ultimately determines whether this Narrative can upgrade is the data after V2 goes live. The key things to watch are: CTO Count ↑ V2 Launch Count ↑ V2 Trading Volume ↑ Platform Fees ↑ ARGUS Buyback/Burn ↑ Stock/Index Pair Launch If these metrics grow together, ARGUS’s logic could shift from “Arc First Runner Premium” toward “Arc Infrastructure Premium.” So what V2 needs to prove is whether it can turn this existing trading volume into longer Token lifecycles, stronger community participation, and more sustainable platform revenue.
