Uniswap Unleashes Pools.trade Launchpad on Robinhood Chain
Uniswap has launched Pools.trade, its first dedicated token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. This marks a strategic pivot from a decentralized exchange to a full-spectrum platform that includes token creation and launch infrastructure.
The rollout introduces two distinct launch mechanisms: the Crowd Launch, which uses a time-weighted bidding system with a minimum fully diluted valuation of $10,000, and the Instant Launch, which eliminates valuation requirements and activates trading immediately using a bonding curve for price discovery.
Pools.trade allows users to create and trade new tokens directly through a unified interface before liquidity is automatically migrated and permanently locked into Uniswap v4 pools. The platform mints a fixed supply of one billion tokens for every project launched, with a 0.25% trading fee charged on each pool.
The launch has already ignited a sharp rally in the protocol's native UNI token, which has surged roughly 47% since early July and is currently trading around $4.07, with a total market cap of $2.54 billion.
