## @stitchdegen (Stitch) · 09-16 21:02 · ♥46 ↻8 💬19 And the third token I want to talk about is $DUKE
Quite a few of you have been asking me about this one
Before getting into $DUKE specifically, I think we need to look briefly at the current context of the ecosystem
ArgusPad is currently leading the launchpad space on Arc in terms of attention and capital flow. $ARGUS is also among the more prominent tokens in the ecosystem, while a growing number of new tokens are being launched underneath it and the market is starting to look for the first real runners
This is a pretty familiar pattern on new chains
Capital flows into the launchpads first, then the market starts looking for standout tokens coming out of them. And alongside tech/protocol plays, there are usually a few pure memes that retail chooses as attention magnets
$DUKE is currently one of the tokens I’m watching for that role
But let’s be clear: $DUKE basically has no fundamentals
This is a pure meme
No tech, no revenue, no utility for me to dig into
The thesis right now is almost entirely built around :
Narrative + attention + social catalysts
And the story itself is very simple
Duke is said to be Jeremy Allaire’s dog, the CEO of Circle. With Arc having just gone live on mainnet, the whole “Duke of Arc” angle is almost too easy for the market to turn into a meme
More importantly, this narrative wasn’t created entirely out of thin air by the community
Rachel Mayer, who works on product at Arc/Circle, posted a picture of Duke saying :
“the duke of @arc has entered the chat / I hear it’s @jerallaire’s dog”
That post later reached hundreds of thousands of views, becoming one of the catalysts that pushed more attention toward the $DUKE narrative
But I still want to make one thing very clear :
This is soft confirmation of the Duke story, not an official endorsement of $DUKE by Arc or Circle
Those are two completely different things
So what is the market actually betting on?
It’s pretty simple :
Whether this narrative continues to get fed
If Jeremy Allaire posts about Duke again, or people around Arc/Circle continue mentioning the dog, attention could come back very quickly
Especially during the early stage of a new ecosystem, the market doesn’t necessarily need a complicated story
We’ve seen this pattern many times across different chains
The most recent example I can think of is $CASHCAT on Robinhood Chain
I’m not saying $DUKE will become the next $CASHCAT. The similarity is simply in market behavior
A new ecosystem usually ends up finding a few memes that are simple, memorable, and closely tied to the identity of the ecosystem to concentrate attention around
For $DUKE, the “CEO dog + Duke of Arc” narrative at least checks those boxes
And with ArgusPad currently leading the launchpad side of Arc, I’m also watching to see whether the market chooses a strong meme runner underneath it
Right now, $DUKE is one of the names that clearly has the attention
But the thing I care about most right now is no longer the narrative
It’s positioning
The first $DUKE pump happened extremely fast, so not many people actually managed to get a good position
It wasn’t until the chart dipped back into the $3M–$4M range that I started seeing a lot more people buying and holding
And that was when I started getting a little concerned
For a pure meme, having too many people entering around the same level while waiting for the exact same catalyst isn’t necessarily bullish
If the chart moves higher, there’s a lot of supply waiting to take profit
More importantly, if support breaks, the same people waiting for the “CEO shill” can easily become the same people panic selling at once
And right now, that panic has already started
$DUKE has been pushed down from the $3M–$4M area to around $2M, with a pretty clear panic candle
This is actually where things become more interesting for me to watch
I already took a small position around $3M, but I’m not rushing to add just because it’s now at $2M
$2M being cheaper than $3M doesn’t automatically mean the setup is better
Considering how many people entered around $3M–$4M, if the chart remains weak, we could easily see another round of capitulation
What I want to see now is :
Can the market absorb this panic supply?
If people keep selling but the volume gets absorbed well, the chart stops making new lows and eventually starts reclaiming the levels it lost, then the setup becomes much more interesting for me to consider adding
But if holders continue panicking and there’s no real demand underneath, I have no reason to try to guess the exact bottom
The website is also currently having issues. I don’t want to overreact to that, but obviously it doesn’t help sentiment while the chart is already going through a panic
So my plan with $DUKE is pretty simple
I’m still holding a small position from around $3M and watching how the market reacts around the current area
No FOMO, and no rushing to average down just because the MC has dropped
I’d rather let the market flush out some of the weaker holders first
If the panic gets absorbed, the chart reclaims and social attention is still there, then the risk/reward starts becoming interesting again
But if this area gets lost, volume slowly dies and the narrative doesn’t get fed again, there’s basically nothing left for me to defend in the thesis
At the end of the day, I still see $DUKE as a gamble, not an investment
ArgusPad is currently leading the launchpad attention on Arc, $DUKE has a narrative simple enough to become one of the memes the market focuses on during the ecosystem’s early days, and it has already received a social catalyst from someone around Arc/Circle
But the entire valuation is still built on attention
More catalysts = the narrative gets extended
No catalysts = watch the chart
If both attention and the chart die, I have no reason to keep holding
Keep the size reasonable. With a pure meme like this, I’d rather buy after seeing the panic get absorbed than try to prove I can catch the exact bottom
0x41358defd0dedc90528b3f1835715e907b686e6a > 引用 @stitchdegen: And the second project in my Arc series today is $TOLLY
Most people following Arc over the past few days probably already know quite a bit about Tolly, so I won’t spend too much time explaining everything from scratch
What I’m more interested in is this :
Now that Arc is public mainnet and $TOLLY has already gone from around $25M to $8–9M, is there still a thesis for another leg?
1. Quick recap of the $TOLLY narrative
$TOLLY is the token of Tolly Labs, a platform building a launchpad, trading terminal, and several onchain tools for traders on Arc
It is not an official token of Arc or Circle
What I like most about Tolly is how they designed the launch mechanism
Tokens are launched directly into a USDC pool with LP locked from the beginning. There’s no bonding curve and no need to wait for a “graduation” before migrating liquidity
But what gives $TOLLY its own thesis is the fee mechanism
Native launches on Tolly have a 1% pool fee. On buys, the fee is split between creators, holders, and the protocol, with 9% used to buy and burn $TOLLY, plus another 5% used to buy and burn the project token
So the thesis is pretty simple :
More tokens launching on Tolly => more volume => more fees => more $TOLLY bought back and burned
The mechanics are easy to understand, and I think this was one of the main reasons Tolly got so much attention before mainnet
2. But good mechanics are no longer enough
This is the part I care about the most
Before public mainnet, Tolly being heavily researched, having a relatively clean LP model, and being considered one of the top Arc launchpads were all good catalysts
But Arc is public now
From this point, I don’t really care whether people call Tolly the #1 or #2 launchpad
What I want to see is :
Can Tolly actually launch tokens that run?
Because if most of the volume still comes from $TOLLY itself, then the current flywheel is basically :
$TOLLY generates volume => creates fees => fees buy/burn $TOLLY
That doesn’t prove product-market fit yet
The stronger version of the thesis would be :
Another token launches on Tolly => that token generates real volume => Tolly earns fees => part of those fees flows back into buying/burning $TOLLY
If Tolly starts consistently producing runners like this, then I can start viewing $TOLLY as a bet on Arc’s launch infrastructure, rather than just a platform token benefiting from mainnet hype
3. This is also a distribution war
Tolly isn’t competing alone
Arc just opened up, so launchpads are appearing everywhere. Argus, Warp, Archemist, and several other platforms are all fighting for the same thing :
Where will devs choose to launch, and which platform will traders open when they want to hunt new tokens?
There are a few things I like about Tolly
LP is locked from the beginning, there’s no bonding curve/migration step, creators receive a large share of the fees, and the team is also building things like a terminal, Telegram Mini App, holder maps, wallet clustering, and routing tools
So they’re trying to make Tolly a place where users can launch + discover + trade, rather than just another “Create Token” button
But ultimately, everything comes back to distribution
Good mechanics won’t save a launchpad if devs don’t launch there and traders don’t stay there
That’s also why I think comparing Tolly to PONS/Pumpfun this early is premature
Tolly first needs to prove that volume can come from tokens launched on the platform, rather than mainly from its own platform token
4. What about $TOLLY at ~$8–9M?
The chart is pretty interesting too
On day one, $TOLLY spiked to around $25M MC, then retraced hard back to roughly $8–9M on the chart I’m watching
That’s around a 60–65% drawdown from the peak
But to me :
Being down 60% doesn’t automatically mean something is cheap
Especially for a day-one token on a new chain with relatively thin liquidity
The $25M peak was the market pricing in expectations: Arc mainnet + top launchpad narrative + interesting mechanics + attention
Now those expectations are being reset
So the $8–9M area is starting to become more interesting to watch, but I’m not calling this a confirmed bottom
If I wanted exposure here, I’d only take a small starter position
Personally, I’d be more interested around $4–7M if the market gives us that opportunity, but there’s one important condition :
Tolly itself still needs to be alive
If it drops to $5M while platform volume disappears, devs move to Argus/Warp, and nobody trades tokens launched on Tolly, then $5M isn’t necessarily cheap either
On the other hand, if it holds $8–9M while external runners start appearing, fees increase, and buyback/burn activity follows real platform volume, I’d value the thesis much more highly
5. What I’m watching over the next 48–72 hours
I don’t need another announcement explaining how good Tolly’s mechanics are
The market already knows that
I want to see 1–2 tokens other than $TOLLY actually run on the platform, platform volume start separating from the native token, fee/burn activity grow accordingly, and creators continue choosing Tolly to launch
I’m also watching whether Arc itself can keep the attention
Because Tolly is still an infrastructure bet underneath the ecosystem :
Arc keeps attracting capital and attention => launchpads have a chance to fight for market share. Arc cools down => every launchpad struggles, regardless of how good the mechanics look. And remember, Tolly is not a product of Circle or Arc. It’s an independent team building on Arc
6. My current view
I still think Tolly is one of the more interesting infrastructure projects to watch in the early Arc ecosystem
I like the LP design, the fee structure, and especially the fact that $TOLLY has a relatively clear value-accrual mechanism through buybacks and burns
But I think the first leg of the thesis has already been traded by the market
That was :
Arc mainnet + Tolly being one of the most watched launchpads + good mechanics
For a second leg, the market needs something new :
Tolly needs to prove that it can generate volume for tokens other than itself
If we start seeing a few runners coming out of Tolly over the next 2–3 days, creators continue launching there, and fee/burn activity grows alongside external volume, then I think the story becomes much more interesting
But if volume continues revolving mainly around the native token while traders and creators move elsewhere, I’ll lower my expectations pretty quickly
So at around $8–9M, I’m not FOMOing and I’m not calling the bottom either
If I wanted to play it, I’d only start small. I’d rather watch the $4–7M area more closely, or accept buying higher later if Tolly proves real activity
In short, I’m not betting on $TOLLY just because the mechanics look good
I’m betting on the possibility that Tolly becomes one of the places devs actually choose to launch tokens on Arc
If that happens, the buyback/burn mechanism starts to matter
If Tolly can only generate volume for $TOLLY itself, then the thesis still isn’t strong enough for me
Now I’ll let the market and the volume give us the answer
