How to Launch a Token on Robinhood Chain

Launching is the easy part: a name, a ticker, an image, one signature. The decision that matters happens before that, and it is not reversible. Each venue on this chain offers a different split of the same 100% – between you, the protocol, the liquidity pool and the people trading your token.

The four venues and what each one is for

PONS is the chain's incumbent. It charges a flat launch fee and a 1% trading fee, and it hands 70% of that fee to the creator, with the protocol keeping 30%. Creator earnings accrue to a claimable balance rather than being pushed to your wallet, and in v2 they are paid in whatever asset the launch is priced in.

pools.trade is Uniswap Labs' own launchpad. There is no launch fee at all and trading carries 0.25%, which autocompounds into permanently locked liquidity instead of being extracted. Creators can optionally take 0.05% of that. It is the cheapest venue for the people buying your token and the least lucrative for you.

hood.fun runs the format most traders already recognise – a constant-product bonding curve that migrates into a locked Uniswap v3 pool when it completes. Familiarity is a real feature when you are asking strangers to work out how to buy.

MintPlus by Team Finance is the odd one out and the right answer for a token meant to still exist in six months: a fixed-supply token with no mint function and no owner backdoor, with the LP locked in a vault at launch for a duration you choose.

What you cannot change afterwards

On a curve launch, supply is fixed by the platform, the pricing cannot be rewritten, the pairing asset cannot be swapped, and any creator tax is frozen at launch. On PONS v2 the only two things that stay adjustable are where fees are paid and whether buybacks are switched on.

That rigidity is the product. It is what lets a buyer trust a token deployed by a stranger fifteen minutes ago – there is no lever left for you to pull.

The pairing decision

This chain offers something no other does: a launch can be priced against a tokenised equity rather than ETH. PONS v2 supports approved assets including stock tokens, which means buyers spend NVDA, graduation is measured in it, and your creator fees arrive in it.

Before choosing that, read what it does to the instrument – a stock-paired memecoin carries two price drivers, and most people trading it will misread the chart. It is a genuine differentiator and a genuine complication.

The launch itself

1. Fund a wallet with ETH for gas – on this chain that is cents, but with none you cannot sign at all.
2. Pick the venue by the property that matters to your token: creator share, trader cost, or provable liquidity locking.
3. Deploy. Name, ticker, image, description, and a fee destination if the venue asks for one.
4. Decide your own buy before the curve opens, and understand it is public. Buying 30% of your own curve and selling at graduation is visible to everyone on the explorer.
5. Set the fee wallet you actually control, because on some venues it is one of the only fields you can change later.

What actually decides whether it works

Not the venue. Roughly forty thousand tokens a day have been deployed on this chain at peak, and the overwhelming majority go nowhere regardless of which launchpad issued them. A curve token lives or dies on whether anyone scrolling the feed stops, which is a distribution problem rather than a deployment one.

The venue decision is worth getting right because it is permanent, not because it is decisive. Choose on the property that matters to your specific token, and spend the remaining energy on the part the launchpad cannot do for you.
