How Ponks works

What is Ponks

Ponks is a launchpad built on Pons, the token-launch protocol on Robinhood Chain. Robinhood put memecoins and tokenized real-world assets on the same chain, and Ponks bolts them together: your coin trades like any memecoin, but its trading fees are quietly recycled into a blue-chip stock and paid out to everyone holding it.

The lifecycle

Everything after launch runs on its own. The engine watches every coin it created and works these steps on a wall-clock schedule:

1 Launch your coin

Hit Launch a token, give it a name, ticker and image, and pick the stock it pays out in. Ponks generates a fresh in-browser launch wallet — fund it with a little ETH (~0.002 ETH: the 0.0005 fee plus gas) and launch.

• Fixed 1,000,000,000 supply, standard 18-decimal ERC-20.
• Deployed through the Pons factory with liquidity locked in a Uniswap position — the deployer can't pull it.
• The launch wallet becomes the coin's fee recipient, so its trading fees fund the dividends.

2 Claim fees & burn

Every minute the engine calls collectFees for your coin. It simulates first, so if nothing has accrued it's skipped with zero gas. Claimed fees arrive as two assets:

• WETH — kept and unwrapped to native ETH to fund the stock buy.
• The coin's own token — swept to the burn address 0x…dEaD on every claim.

3 Buy the stock

Every 10 minutes the engine spends the collected ETH buying the tokenized stock you chose, through the Robinhood-modified Uniswap v4 router. It always keeps a small gas reserve so it can keep claiming and paying out.

// distributor config, written at launch
{
  "token":  "0x…",
  "stock":  { "symbol": "NVDA", "ca": "0x…" },
  "claimEveryMs":      60000,    // 1 min
  "distributeEveryMs": 600000    // 10 min
}

4 Pay holders

The freshly bought stock is distributed to every eligible holder, weighted by their share of supply. Eligibility skips the pool, the locker, the dev wallet and any wallet over 4% — so the LP and whales don't soak up the dividends.

Supported stocks

Every stock in the picker has a live ETH-quoted pool on Robinhood Chain, so the engine can always buy it:

Fees & safety

• Launch fee: 0.0005 ETH + gas. No trading tax on the standard launch.
• Locked LP: liquidity is locked in the Uniswap position at launch — no rug pull.
• Encrypted custody: so payouts run without you, the launch wallet's key is custodied by the backend and encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) — the decryption secret lives only in the server env, never on disk.
