Status
Portal 8 went live on Arc mainnet on 2026-09-22. All of its contracts are verified on Arc Etherscan. Every term below is fixed in the contracts.
Every new launch goes to Portal 8, from the Create form or from your own code. Portals 1 to 7 are legacy: their tokens trade and pay out as before, but nothing should launch on them. Portal 8 launches carry a V2 badge on the board.

Admitted quote assets
The admin Safe sets each asset’s starting and bond value in that asset’s own units: about $2,500 to start and $45,000 to bond, at the asset’s price when admitted. Read from the quote registry’s economicsFor on 2026-09-30, rounded for display; minimums are rounded up. None is revoked.
| Asset | Starting / bond value · minimum opening buy |
|---|---|
| USDC | 2,500 / 45,000 USDC · 4.50 USDC |
| EURC | 2,184.09 / 39,313.55 EURC · 3.9314 EURC |
| GBPA | 1,884.58 / 33,922.44 GBPA · 3.3923 GBPA |
| cirBTC | 0.02899 / 0.52183 cirBTC · 0.00005218 cirBTC |

GBPA is Agant’s British pound stablecoin. GBPA launches pay creator fees and dividends in GBPA only; the site offers no USDC payout for it.
The Safe can re-size an asset later. A launch keeps the values it was created with.
The pool and its liquidity
Locked for good
The launch position sits in a locker with no withdraw path. Liquidity can only be added to it.
No LP fee
The pool itself keeps nothing on a swap. The hook takes the whole fee in the quote asset.
No migration
Bonding is a flag on the hook. Trading continues in the same pool.
Image and links
| Item | Where it lives |
|---|---|
| Image link | Stored on the token and read with logo(). Up to 512 bytes. Cannot be changed. |
| Website, X, Telegram, description | Written once to the LaunchMetadata event in the launch transaction. Not kept in contract storage. |
