SGLang team launches $ARKIE memecoin that routes 2% trade fees into GPUs for open AI infra
BanghuaZ · x · 2026-09-26
RadixArk, the team behind SGLang, launched mascot Arkie and the $ARKIE memecoin — pitched as "the memecoin that pays for the compute": 2% of every trade feeds a multisig treasury that buys GPUs to fund open-source inference framework SGLang and RL project Miles.
Key points:
- Launching on Robinhood Chain via Pons v2; contract not yet deployed, and any other address is a scam
- Team bought only 0.02 ETH (1.15% supply), locked 12 months; LP locked forever
- The site shows a contributor wall for SGLang/Miles; treasury grants go to top contributors by commit count
- Claimed stats: SGLang at 36,400 stars, 400,000+ GPUs running SGLang worldwide, 200+ commits and 46+ contributors across both projects in the last 30 days
