Boardwalk Announces Arbitrum Deployment for Protocol-Token Systems and BWS Transition
San Francisco, California, July 3rd, 2026, Chainwire
Boardwalk, a launch and market-formation protocol for token economies, announced plans to move its protocol-token systems to Arbitrum and introduce BWS as the successor to its legacy BMX protocol token.
Under the planned transition, BWS will anchor Boardwalk’s protocol-token systems on Arbitrum, including staking, Voter Points, Fee Direction, and primary protocol-token liquidity. Boardwalk’s application layer will remain multichain, with relaunches planned across six supported networks as integration work is completed.
The transition separates the protocol token’s operating environment from Boardwalk’s broader application infrastructure. Boardwalk will continue to support token-economy launches through its application layer, while protocol-token systems operate from Arbitrum.
Boardwalk’s launch framework is intended to provide a standardized structure for token-economy formation. Its described architecture includes published launch rules, seed liquidity designed to lock at graduation, contract-defined fee routing and vesting, fee-protection mechanisms, liquidity-provider participation systems, and Café Boardwalk, a public coordination space for launches.
Under Boardwalk’s described fee configuration, applicable trades include a 1.15% token fee and a 0.10% pool fee, totaling 1.25%. The token-level fee mechanism is designed to reduce incentives for alternative liquidity arrangements focused solely on capturing trading-fee flows. Fees are routed according to the applicable launch configuration and depend on protocol activity and market conditions.
Boardwalk does not select, vet, or endorse issuers or projects that use its protocol.
“BWS is intended to consolidate the protocol-token systems supporting Boardwalk’s next stage of development on Arbitrum, while the application layer remains multichain,” said Meowphasaurus, Co-Founder of Boardwalk. “The transition provides a defined operating environment for staking, Voter Points, Fee Direction, and protocol-token liquidity, while launches continue to be structured through the Boardwalk application layer.”
BMX holders who meet published eligibility requirements will be able to migrate 1 BMX for 1 BWS through Boardwalk’s official migration process when it opens. Migrated BWS is planned to be received as a staked position on Arbitrum. Boardwalk will publish official contract addresses, eligibility criteria, timing, bridge information, and step-by-step instructions before the migration process becomes available.
BWS is planned to use a token-contract design without an owner, administrator, minter, upgrade path, or post-deployment supply-increase function. Boardwalk expects to publish final contract details and verification materials through its official channels.
Boardwalk will release further information about the multichain application relaunch and protocol-token transition through its official website and communications. Users should rely on those sources for contract addresses, eligibility criteria, and migration instructions.
