How to launch a token on Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer 2 built with Arbitrum Orbit. The quickest way to launch a token on it is the Pons V2 launch factory: one transaction creates your token and a bonding curve that holds its whole supply. This guide walks through it with the hoodlums.wtf launcher.
What you need
- A browser wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
- ETH on Robinhood Chain for the fees and gas.
- A logo, a name and a ticker for your token.
Add Robinhood Chain to your wallet
The launcher adds the network for you when you connect. To add it by hand, use these details:
| Network name | Robinhood Chain |
|---|---|
| Chain ID | 4663 |
| RPC URL | https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com |
| Currency | ETH |
| Block explorer | https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com |
For getting ETH onto the network, see Robinhood Chain's documentation.
Launch your token, step by step
Connect your wallet
Open the launcher and connect a browser wallet. If it's on another network, the launcher asks it to switch to Robinhood Chain.
Add a logo, name and ticker
Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP logo up to 5 MB. Names can be up to 64 bytes and tickers up to 16.
Add your socials
Paste your X post, website, Telegram, Discord or Farcaster links. Each can be up to 256 bytes and goes on-chain exactly as typed.
Set your creator tax
Choose a percentage traders pay on top of the Pons trade fee. It goes to you and can't be raised after launch.
Choose a pair asset
Leave it on ETH, or pair with an approved tokenized stock, ETF or USDG.
Review and sign
Check the fees and summary, press Launch token, then approve two transactions in your wallet: the 0.0002 ETH hoodlums fee and the launch.
Share your token
When the transaction confirms you get the token and bonding curve addresses, with links to the explorer and Pons.
Launch settings explained
Creator tax
An optional fee on every trade, paid entirely to you and charged on top of the Pons trade fee. Pons caps it (10% as of September 2026) and it's fixed once the token launches, so it can never be raised on holders.
Buybacks
When enabled, part of your creator fees buys your token back. Bought-back tokens are locked and released over five years rather than burned.
Pair asset
Most launches trade against ETH. You can instead pair with one of 56 assets Pons approves, such as SPCX, NVDA, SPY or USDG. Buyers then trade in that asset, your graduation target is counted in it and your creator fees are paid in it. The launch fee is still paid in ETH, and the pair can't be changed later.
Snipe tax exemptions
Every launch opens with a steep tax on buys that falls to zero within seconds, so bots gain nothing by buying first. Your wallet is exempt automatically, and you can list up to 32 more wallets, such as your team's.
What happens after you launch
Your token trades on its bonding curve straight away: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. When the curve sells out, the launch graduates into a Uniswap v4 pool whose liquidity is locked permanently.
Your creator fees build up in the Pons fee escrow, in the asset your token is paired with, and you claim them whenever you like. You can see every token your wallet has deployed on My deploys, and what others launched with hoodlums.wtf on Deploys.
What it costs
A launch costs the 0.0002 ETH hoodlums fee, paid as its own transaction first, plus the Pons launch fee (0.0005 ETH as of September 2026) and network gas. The launcher reads the current Pons fee from the chain and shows both before you sign.
Questions about launching
Do I need to write code to launch a token on Robinhood Chain?
No. The Pons V2 factory is already deployed, so a launch is one contract call. The launcher builds that call from the form, and your wallet signs it.
Why does launching take two transactions?
The Pons factory only accepts a launch transaction carrying exactly its launch fee, so the 0.0002 ETH hoodlums fee can't ride along. It goes first as a plain ETH transfer, and the launch follows once it confirms.
Where are my token's name, logo and links stored?
The name, ticker, description and socials are written to your token's contract on Robinhood Chain. The logo is published to IPFS, and the token stores its ipfs:// link.
Which wallet should I use?
Any browser wallet that supports custom networks, such as MetaMask or Rabby. If it's on another network when you launch, the launcher asks it to switch to Robinhood Chain.
Can I buy my own token right after launching?
Yes. Once the launch confirms, open your token on Pons and buy it there. Your launch wallet is exempt from the opening snipe tax, so it skips the steep tax that hits buys in the first seconds.
Copy an existing token instead
If you'd rather start from a token that already exists, you can vamp a Robinhood token: paste its address and the launcher copies its details for you.
