🚀 How to Launch a Meme Coin on Arbitrum (ARB)

Updated October 2025 — ~12 min read

Introduction: Why Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is Ethereum’s largest Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution, combining low fees with fast transactions and full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

For meme coin creators, Arbitrum offers the sweet spot between Ethereum’s visibility and Solana’s speed. It’s home to top DEXs like Camelot, Uniswap V3, and SushiSwap, all of which make liquidity deployment straightforward. Plus, ARB’s thriving ecosystem now includes no-code token launch tools and growing “Pump.fun-style” platforms tailored for Arbitrum creators.

“Arbitrum gives you Ethereum-level trust with Solana-level speed — ideal for meme coins ready to scale.” — LaunchCommand

Step 1 — Wallet Setup & Network

Before launching your token, you’ll need an Arbitrum-compatible wallet. Popular choices include MetaMask, Rabby, and Rainbow. Make sure you’ve switched your network to Arbitrum One:

• RPC: https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc
• Chain ID: 42161
• Symbol: ETH
• Explorer: Arbiscan.io

Fund your wallet with ETH on Arbitrum to pay for gas. You can bridge ETH from mainnet using bridge.arbitrum.io.

Step 2 — Choose a Launch Platform

Here’s where Arbitrum shines — there are multiple ways to deploy your meme coin:

• Manual (for devs): Use tools like Remix or ThirdWeb to compile and deploy ERC-20 contracts.
• No-code launchpads: Several emerging platforms now let creators deploy tokens in minutes — e.g., Moonshot Arbitrum, ARB Memepad, or future Pump.fun Arbitrum clones.
• Hybrid solutions: Some devs prefer creating the token manually, then using LaunchCommand for presentation, FAQ hosting, and launch flow automation.

Each option has pros and cons. Manual gives full control, but no-code solutions save time. For most meme projects, the no-code path works best, especially when paired with solid branding.

Step 3 — Deploy & Verify Your Token

1. Choose a name and symbol that’s short, unique, and story-driven. Example: PEPU, SHIBARB, or ARBPEPE.
2. Use 18 decimals (default for most ERC-20s) and define total supply — e.g., 1,000,000,000 tokens.
3. Deploy via Remix or your chosen launchpad. Pay attention to ownership (renounce or lock it later for transparency).
4. Verify the contract on Arbiscan. Verified contracts build trust instantly with traders and explorers.

Pro tip: include your social links (Telegram, X/Twitter) in the contract metadata or comments. Many explorers now display clickable links directly.

Step 4 — Add Liquidity (Camelot, Uniswap, Sushi)

Once your token is live, it needs liquidity to trade. The three best options on Arbitrum are:

• Camelot: Native Arbitrum DEX with custom fee structures and yield farming options.
• Uniswap V3: Familiar, highly liquid, and integrates easily with charting platforms like DexTools.
• SushiSwap: Legacy multi-chain DEX — great fallback for meme coins chasing early liquidity.

Pair your token with ETH, ARB, or a stablecoin (USDC/USDT). Always lock your LP tokens — you can use tools like Team.Finance or Unicrypt for this. A 3–6 month lock is considered healthy for meme projects.

Step 5 — Community Growth & Branding

Arbitrum meme coins that win focus on community storytelling and visual identity. Don’t just deploy — brand it.

• ✅ Create a Telegram hub using LaunchCommand — include token info, chart links, and FAQs.
• 🎨 Generate memes with Midjourney or DALL·E and automate daily posts with the AI Prompts Guide.
• 📈 Track performance with DexTools and GeckoTerminal — monitor liquidity and volume changes.
• 🧠 Focus on utility storytelling — maybe your meme token powers something (rewards, community DAO, etc.).
