Argus shipped v2 on Wednesday. Here's what's in it, and what the numbers did after.
WHAT V2 ADDS
· Creator payouts to X and GitHub accounts — fees can now be shared with contributors and collaborators, not just wallets.
· CTO, a formal path for abandoned tokens. A community taking one over can request that creator fees be redirected to a new wallet. Argus reviews, approves and monitors it.
· A Creator Token Locker, so locking tokens no longer means leaving the platform.
· A rebuilt Portal distribution system, aimed at a fairer spread to holders.
· Fee Wallet Settings — a creator can name another wallet, or a contract, as the fee recipient.
That last one is the sleeper. A fee recipient that is a contract means launch fees can be routed straight into a dividend splitter, a buyback, a treasury. On a chain where tokens have already paid $2.17M to holders, that's a primitive, not a setting.
On the roadmap: AI features, micropayments, FX, agentic finance.
THE NUMBERS, THREE DAYS LATER
$333.2M traded all time. 3,998,021 swaps — it crosses four million today.
172,617 tokens launched. 828 graduated.
Daily volume, complete UTC days:
· Sep 22 · $7.01M
· Sep 23 · $7.70M
· Sep 24 · $7.82M — v2 ships
· Sep 25 · $10.44M
· Sep 26 so far · $6.58M by midday
The seven-day slide is over. After a week of lower lows, Argus has printed three straight days up.
GRADUATIONS ARE THE REAL STORY
All time, 828 of 172,617 tokens have cleared the curve — 0.48%.
In the three days since our last update: 7,960 launched, 183 graduated. That's 2.30%.
Nearly five times the historical rate. Fewer launches, and far more of them making it.
THE TOKEN
$23.1M market cap, up from $18.2M three days ago. $2.08M traded across 15 pools, $1.63M of liquidity, 8,597 trades.
67.1M ARGUS burned — 6.7% of supply, $1.66M at today's price. It was 6.3% on Tuesday. It only moves one way.
ONE THING WE'D FLAG
Average trade size fell to $29 today from $56 yesterday, on 224,593 swaps before midday — more swaps than any full day since the 19th, each one half the size.
We've seen that shape elsewhere on Arc this week, on pools doing millions in volume with four traders. We're not calling it: it may just be a cheaper crowd. But it's the number we'd watch before treating today's swap count as demand.
