PONS token soared 370%, and its Launchpad thrived on the Robinhood chain

PONS token soared 370%, launch pad business on Robinhood Chain exploded.

PONS rose 44.34% in the past 24 hours and rose as high as 370.85% in the past seven days. Pons, as the leading token launch platform built on Robinhood Chain, has a single-day platform fee reaching a record high of US$5.95 million. This figure not only exceeds the transaction revenue of the underlying network Robinhood Chain itself, but even exceeds the combined daily revenue of the three protocols Hyperliquid, Polymarket and Fomo.

Market performance and data highlights

According to data from DeFiLlama (quoted by Wu Blockchain), PONS ranks fourth among all encryption protocols in terms of fee generation. Its native token, PONS, responded quickly to the market, climbing 44.34% to US$0.5591 in 24 hours, pushing the market value to US$395.13 million, and trading volume for the day reached US$115.53 million.

Surpasses profitability of legacy agreements

Pons 'fee output has exceeded the combined daily revenue of three agreements with a longer operating history and a larger user base-Hyperliquid, Polymarket and Fomo. The core mechanism responsible for this gap is transaction volume rather than the number of users. Each new token deployed on Pons triggers an instant binding curve transaction, which generates fee revenue in real time; traditional protocols rely on established liquidity and slower-turnover transaction volumes.

Pons 'concentration of hand spending activities has continued to increase in the past few weeks. On August 31, the platform collected approximately $4.89 million in launch pad fees, accounting for about 63.9% of the total encrypted launch pad fees tracked in The Defiant report. Previously, on August 30, Pons reached a single-day peak of approximately $5.34 million.

Fee allocation mechanism to support the repurchase engine

The cost of issuing tokens on Pons is a fixed 0.0005 ETH. Thereafter, a 1% handling fee will be charged for each transaction in the Pons pool. The fee will be distributed in the following proportions: 70% will be owned by the token creator and 30% will be owned by the parties. The shares of the parties to the agreement are not idle, but are used to activate the repurchase destruction mechanism.

Details of capital flow:

• A 70% transaction fee is paid to the token creator.
• 30% paid to Pons agreement.
• 80% of the proceeds from the agreement will be used to repurchase and destroy PONS tokens.

This repurchase mechanism has had a measurable impact on supply. As of September 2026, 29% of the total supply has been destroyed-that is, approximately 288 million of the original 1 billion tokens have been removed, giving an effective supply of approximately 712 million tokens.

The platform architecture changed in early August, with the binding curve model replacing the original direct pool design and beginning to route graduation tokens to permanently locked in liquidity through a dedicated hook built specifically for version 2 of the protocol.

Retail channels touch volatile fee models

PONS was added to Robinhood's accessible list of digital assets, bringing its potential buyer base far beyond those native crypto traders who operate wallets directly on Robinhood Chain. Wider retail access typically deepens liquidity, but it also means that a token whose value is directly linked to the amount of speculative token creation will be placed in front of broker users with different risk expectations, a stark contrast to the early "wallet-first" crowd who built traffic for the platform.

It is worth noting that Pons was independently developed by Pons Labs and has not yet confirmed an official partnership with Robinhood; the platform runs on Robinhood Chain, but is not built or operated by Robinhood itself.

Future Outlook and Risk Warning

It is uncertain whether the current fee level can be maintained. Robinhood Chain's zero-Gas fee period made high-frequency token issuance low enough to drive Pons 'early growth, but the period is expected to expire this month. In addition, the rise of rival launch pads had forced a sharp correction in PONS before, when PONS plunged 49% in a week as traders turned to Uniswap's rival launch pad Pools.trade.

If token creation slows down with the end of subsidized Gas fees, fee revenue and the speed of buybacks funded by them may weaken accordingly.
