FAQ
Questions
What does it cost to launch?
The pons launch fee plus one small ETH slice per remote venue (the relayer's gas on Solana, BNB Chain and Base) plus the Anypad fee, which is currently zero. The exact number is read from the registry on the app page. An opening buy on PONS is optional and goes to your wallet.
Does the vault ever sell?
No. There is no sell function. Money leaves the vault in a lift, which is a buy, or not at all.
Where do the bought coins go?
To the burn address. On PONS the buy is sent to 0x…dEaD directly from the vault. On pump.fun the keeper burns the tokens with the SPL burn instruction; on Flap and Clanker it transfers them to 0x…dEaD. The keeper never keeps what a lift bought.
How often does a lift happen?
At most once per cooldown per coin (10 minutes by default), and only when the share per lift is above the floor. A coin with little volume lifts rarely; the fees keep accruing until a lift is worth making.
Why compare market caps and not prices?
The venues mint different supplies for the same coin (Clanker 100B, the curves 1B), so per-token prices mean nothing across them. Market cap is the one number that says "the same price".
What can the keeper do wrong?
It can report false caps for the three remote markets. The worst that does is route one lift (capped by the share and the absolute cap) to itself instead of to a buy, once per cooldown, and the Lifted event shows the caps it claimed. It cannot touch the vault otherwise, cannot misstate the PONS cap, and cannot stop the PONS leg of a launch.
What happens if a remote venue fails to launch?
The relayer marks it failed and your slice for that venue is credited back to you on the registry. If the relayer simply goes quiet, you can reclaim the slice yourself after two hours. The coin stays live on whichever venues did launch.
What are the fees on each venue?
PONS: 1% creator tax to the vault. pump.fun: the standard creator fee to the keeper's Solana wallet. Flap: 1% buy and 1% sell tax to the keeper's BNB wallet. Clanker: LP rewards to the keeper's Base wallet. Each of those is set on the venue's own contract and can be checked there.
Where is the contract?
The registry is 0x7161da151fAd8ffd747f0efE3F2fA9C92f1d8Bfd on Robinhood Chain (4663). Every figure on this site is read from it. Each coin's vault address is on its card.
