Pons Launchpad Explained: A Guide to Trading on Robinhood Chain

Pons Launchpad is a token launch protocol built on Robinhood Chain (Chain ID 4663), allowing creators to deploy tokens and the public to trade them. The platform ensures that every transaction goes through the user's own wallet, with no custodial step where funds are held by PONS.

To start trading on Pons Launchpad, users need to connect their wallets to Robinhood Chain. This involves adding the network manually using its details: Network name: Robinhood Chain; Chain ID: 4663; RPC URL: https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com; Currency symbol: ETH; Block explorer: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com.

Once connected, users can trade tokens by understanding the two phases a token goes through: Phase 1, the bonding curve, where tokens are priced on their own, and Phase 2, the Uniswap v4 pool, where trading continues after graduation. The bonding curve prices tokens based on supply and demand, with the more people buy, the higher the price climbs, and the lower it drops when people sell.

The snipe tax is a key feature of Pons Launchpad, starting at 99% and decaying to near zero within five seconds after launch. This protects regular buyers from bots racing to buy a launch in its first seconds. Liquidity is locked permanently at graduation, ensuring that creators cannot pull it back out.
