Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution

Published

on

The energy consumption of Blockchain

Recently, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, posted on Twitter saying that: Bitcoin can consume too much in mining and transaction process, such excessive fossil fuel consumption will result in negative impacts on the ecosystem. The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also noticed the high power consumption problem in Blockchain technology. He presented that Ethereum would change its consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS to reduce the power consumption caused by the mining process in PoW-based technologies like the Bitcoin. From a global view, energy consumption issues are concerned by an increasing number of countries. To urge the efficient power usage, many countries and organizations have set up environmental protection plans, such as the UN’s SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) and the US carbon neutrality, etc.

In this context, the future development of a technology need to consider the sustainable development and environmental friendliness as one of the important metrics and goals. As an emerging technology for privacy protection, Blockchain presents excellent protection capabilities. However, such capabilities rely on the large-scale computing resources and result in a large amount of power consumption. Part of the reasons for such high power consumption are due to the PoW (Proof of Work) consensus mechanism which has high demands on the performance of the Blockchain nodes.

Besides energy consumption, other concerns of the consensus mechanism

The technology of the base layer of the Blockchain has the advantages like anonymous, Immutable, decentralized and so on. To achieve these advantages, Blockchain enhances the privacy and protect the transaction process by increasing the cost of network participation. The core concept of the early-stage PoW consensus mechanism is based on the workload cost.  The credibility need to be proved by the cost of a lot of work. In this case, the machines that maintain the ledgers (also referred to as mining nodes) need to continually crack complex math puzzles to obtain Bitcoin as rewards. This computing process not only needs to rely on a large amount of computing resources, but also sacrifices part of the scalability on the Blockchain to ensure safety. When it comes to the boosting growing of transaction volume, this mechanism will not be able to meet high-speed and large-scale processing demands. Based on such limitations of PoW, PoS (Proof of stake) is gaining more and more attention to work as a consensus mechanism with low resource consumption and guaranteed decentralization, safety and scalability.

In a PoS-based Blockchain system, nodes do not have to consume much power to compete for accounting rights. The priority of accounting rights is measured by the amount of stake holdings. In this way, the nodes no longer consume a large amount of electricity to calculate the hash functions, thereby solving the high energy consumption issues in PoW mechanism. In spite of the improved efficiency in PoS, the safety of the mechanism is affected. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliable operation of PoS, the researchers need to develop reliable algorithms from the trade-off among the decentralization, safety and scalability.

Unique advantages of PlatON PoS

With the issues caused by the PoW mechanism has been widely criticized, more and more Blockchain technologies inclined to choose or transit to the PoS-based consensus mechanisms. This results in a boosting growing of the PoS-based Blockchain frameworks in recent years. As the world leader in computing privacy area, PlatON has rooted and researched in privacy computing technologies many years. PlatON’s research and practice in consensus mechanisms are also forward-looking. The PPoS (PlatON PoS) consensus mechanism uses off-chain identity, credit mechanisms and procedural arrangements to provide a scheme to select a number of verification nodes from many participating nodes as fair and randomly as possible. Hence, PPoS can effectively inhibit bribery, collusion, etc., and reduce the consensus cost and improve the system scalability by optimizing technical details. Meanwhile, ensuring the decentralization and scalability, PlatON further enhances the system safety by combining the experiences in computing privacy area. The Alaya network based on PlatON PoS has been operating stably and efficiently for a long time, successfully solving the problem of over-centralization of the system, reducing network communication complexity and message complexity, improving consensus efficiency and the entire Blockchain transaction processing performance. In this case, the safety and liveness of the technology are verified. PlatON has been able to improve its PoS mechanism through its attention to every detail, continuous attempts, active exploration of cutting-edge areas, and forward-looking plans in the future development. Next step, PlatON will continue actively promoting the efficient network operation with high-quality code, providing efficient, high-availability, distributed and sustainable infrastructure applicable for diverse industrial and commercial use cases, and supporting the exchange of data flows in the global world.

Press Release

ARCLaunch Prepares New Arc Launchpad for Arc Chain’s Memecoin Ecosystem

Published

on

ARCLaunch is developing an all-in-one memecoin platform for Arc Chain ahead of the network’s public mainnet launch. The planned Arc Chain Launchpad will combine token creation, trading, swaps, bridging, unified balances, creator profiles, Uniswap integration, creator fees and referrals.

United States, 13th Aug 2026 – ARCLaunch is preparing to introduce a new token launch and trading platform as Arc Chain moves closer to its public mainnet debut.

The upcoming Arc Launchpad is designed to give creators and traders one place to launch, discover, buy, sell and swap memecoins on Arc Chain. Planned features include an integrated bridge, unified balances, developer profiles, direct Uniswap launches, creator rewards and a referral program.

ARCLaunch is expected to arrive during an important period for the emerging network. Arc’s official team has confirmed that public mainnet is scheduled to launch on September 16, 2026, opening the stablecoin-native Layer 1 to developers, businesses and public users.

Bringing Consumer Token Launches to Arc

Arc has largely been introduced as infrastructure for programmable money, stablecoin payments, tokenized assets and onchain financial markets. ARCLaunch plans to complement that institutional and developer-focused foundation with a consumer-facing token platform.

The product follows a model familiar to memecoin communities: simplify token creation, place new launches in a shared discovery feed and allow users to trade without moving through several unrelated applications.

Creators will not be expected to deploy contracts manually. Instead, ARCLaunch plans to provide a guided interface for entering the token’s name, ticker, image, description and public links.

Once the launch is confirmed, the platform will handle the underlying onchain deployment.

Launch, Discover and Trade in One Place

ARCLaunch is being developed as more than a token-creation form.

The planned product will support the wider lifecycle of an Arc memecoin, from bringing funds onto the network to launching and trading the resulting asset.

Its announced functionality includes:

  • Token creation on Arc Chain
  • Discovery of new and active launches
  • Integrated buying and selling
  • Token swaps
  • Bridging into Arc
  • Unified USDC balances
  • Developer and creator profiles
  • Direct launches to Uniswap
  • Creator and developer fees
  • Referral rewards

Final specifications may change before release because ARCLaunch remains under development. Fees, supported networks and launch mechanics should be confirmed when the production platform becomes available.

Why Arc Provides a Different Foundation

ARCLaunch is being built specifically around Arc rather than adapting a launchpad designed for another blockchain.

Arc is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 developed by Circle. It supports standard Solidity contracts and familiar Ethereum development tools, while introducing a stablecoin-native economic model.

One of its most significant differences is the use of USDC as the native gas asset. Users will not need to acquire a separate volatile token simply to pay transaction fees.

For a launchpad, this could make costs easier to understand. Launch and trading expenses can be expressed in a dollar-denominated asset rather than a network token whose value changes independently.

Arc also provides sub-second deterministic finality. Transactions are designed to become final quickly, without requiring users or applications to wait through several additional blocks.

That combination of EVM compatibility, USDC-based gas and rapid settlement provides the technical foundation for ARCLaunch’s planned token and trading experience.

Arc Public Mainnet Arrives September 16

Arc’s September launch date has been officially announced.

The network’s public mainnet is scheduled to go live on September 16, 2026. Arc is currently operating in private mainnet following an extensive public testnet period.

Circle launched the Arc public testnet in October 2025 with more than 100 participating companies and infrastructure providers. The group included wallet platforms, developer-tool companies, cross-chain protocols, exchanges, financial institutions and decentralized-finance projects.

Circle has positioned Arc as an “Economic OS” for internet-native financial activity. ARCLaunch represents a more specialized layer of that ecosystem, focused on permissionless token creation and community-driven trading.

Direct Uniswap Launches

Direct Uniswap connectivity is among the most important features announced for ARCLaunch.

The planned integration is intended to connect token creation with decentralized liquidity. Instead of creating a token through one application and configuring its trading market through another, creators could move directly from ARCLaunch into a Uniswap-based market.

Arc’s EVM environment makes established Ethereum-compatible contracts and infrastructure available to developers. Uniswap Labs was also named among the digital-market participants involved in Arc’s testnet ecosystem.

ARCLaunch has not yet published its final liquidity architecture. Details such as pool type, initial liquidity, bonding-curve mechanics and possible migration thresholds should be verified after the production contracts are released.

Bridging Funds Into Arc

An integrated bridge is intended to simplify one of the largest challenges facing applications on a new blockchain: users may own USDC but hold it on another network.

ARCLaunch plans to let users move supported assets to Arc without leaving the platform. This could create a more direct path from funding a wallet to launching or purchasing a token.

The final release should make several details clear before users approve a transfer:

  • Source and destination networks
  • Supported assets
  • Bridge provider
  • Estimated completion time
  • Network and protocol fees
  • Whether users receive native USDC
  • Procedures for delayed transfers

Bridge routes can depend on external infrastructure and may not always remain available.

Unified USDC Balances

ARCLaunch also plans to support unified balances.

Circle’s Unified Balance system is designed to combine USDC deposited from supported networks into one spendable balance. Applications can then draw from that combined balance when a user completes an action on another supported chain.

For ARCLaunch users, this could reduce the need to think about USDC as a separate balance on every blockchain. Funds held across supported environments may become easier to use for Arc-based launches and trades.

The precise integration has not yet been disclosed. Supported source chains, wallet requirements and transaction flows should be confirmed when ARCLaunch publishes its full documentation.

Developer Profiles for Greater Context

Developer profiles are expected to give traders more information about the creators behind new tokens.

A profile could show previous launches, creator activity, connected social accounts and other public project details. Over time, this may help established developers build a recognizable history within the platform.

Profiles can add useful context, but they cannot guarantee that a token is safe or likely to succeed. Traders should still review the contract, liquidity conditions, creator allocation and official communications.

Creator Fees and Referral Rewards

ARCLaunch plans to include financial incentives for both token creators and platform users.

Developer or creator fees may allow launchers to receive a share of trading activity generated by their tokens. This could encourage creators to remain involved after deployment instead of treating the launch as a one-time event.

The referral program is expected to reward users who introduce eligible creators or traders to the platform.

Important details—including fee percentages, qualifying activity, payout assets and claim procedures—have not yet been finalized publicly. ARCLaunch users should rely on the official platform terms once they become available.

A Pump.fun-Like Experience on New Infrastructure

ARCLaunch can broadly be compared with Pump.fun because both platforms aim to make memecoin creation accessible to non-technical users.

The similarity is primarily in the experience: quick token creation, immediate discovery and integrated trading.

The underlying networks are different. Pump.fun was created for Solana, while ARCLaunch is being developed for Arc’s EVM-compatible and USDC-native environment.

That difference shapes several planned ARCLaunch features:

  • USDC-denominated gas fees
  • Compatibility with Ethereum development infrastructure
  • Direct access to Uniswap liquidity
  • Cross-chain USDC bridging
  • Unified balances
  • Deterministic sub-second settlement

ARCLaunch is therefore adapting a proven consumer launchpad concept to Arc’s distinct technical and financial architecture.

What Should Be Verified Before Release?

As an upcoming platform, ARCLaunch still has several important details to publish.

Prospective users should review the following before connecting a wallet or using real funds:

  • Official production contracts
  • Independent security audits
  • Launch and trading fees
  • Token-supply rules
  • Liquidity structure
  • Uniswap pool configuration
  • Creator-fee allocation
  • Referral conditions
  • Supported bridge routes
  • Wallet compatibility
  • Unified-balance implementation
  • Official support accounts

Users should also confirm that they are accessing the official arclaunch.fun domain.

Memecoins are speculative assets and may lose their value rapidly. A simple launch process does not guarantee liquidity, demand or long-term project success.

ARCLaunch Prepares for Arc’s Next Phase

ARCLaunch is being developed as Arc Chain prepares to move from private mainnet into public availability.

The platform’s planned combination of token creation, trading, bridging, unified balances and Uniswap integration could give Arc an early consumer-focused memecoin hub. Developer profiles, creator fees and referrals would add identity and incentive layers around the core launch process.

The upcoming Arc Chain Launchpad will ultimately be judged by its production contracts, security, liquidity design and ease of use. Its timing, however, places it near the beginning of an entirely new blockchain ecosystem.

With Arc public mainnet scheduled for September 16, 2026, ARCLaunch is positioning itself as a potential first destination for users who want to create and trade memecoins on the new network.
