Trade Pons on Axiom (20% Off)
Waiting out the tax
A v2 coin charges 99% on the first buys, about 25% after one second and nothing by five. Pulse shows how old each launch is, so you can let those seconds pass instead of paying them.
Pons Trading Terminal and Bot
Looking for a pons trading bot and sniper? Pons is the busiest launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Its coins trade against ETH, the USDG stablecoin or one of Robinhood's own stock tokens, and over the past month it earned more in fees than any other protocol on the chain, by DefiLlama's count. Axiom lists it first in the HOOD protocol filter. Use Axiom referral code TradeNow for 20% off trading fees.

Pons on Axiom
What is Pons, and how is it traded from Axiom?
Pons is a noncustodial launchpad on Robinhood Chain that opened in July 2026, and it has two generations. Pons v1 puts a fixed billion-token supply straight into a locked 1% Uniswap v3 pool against WETH, with no curve at all. Pons v2, live since 4 August, sells the whole supply from a bonding curve and, once the curve sells out, builds a permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool from what it collected. A v2 coin can be priced in ETH, in the USDG stablecoin or in a stock token such as NVDA or SPY.
Pons and Pons V2 are the first two entries in Axiom's Robinhood Chain filter, and between them they take the large majority of launchpad fees on the chain. Trading them from Axiom works like any other HOOD coin. What changes the cost of a Pons trade is the creator tax on some coins and, in the first seconds of a v2 launch, the snipe tax.

Axiom or the Pons Site?
Pons' site is where coins are launched and creators set their tax. Getting into a Pons v2 launch without paying the snipe tax, or catching the moment a curve sells out, is a trading problem, and Axiom is built for it.
Express Lander
Robinhood Chain orders transactions by arrival, and Axiom's Express Lander is its own route to the sequencer, one no other terminal offers.
Every HOOD pad
Both Pons generations lead Axiom's Robinhood Chain filter, next to Flap, Flap Tax and the other pads on the chain.
The sell-out
When a v2 curve sells out and becomes a locked Uniswap v4 pool, a migration order can buy or sell right then.
Pons' 1% fee and any creator tax of up to 10% apply wherever you trade; Axiom adds 1%, or 0.8% with TradeNow. Launching a coin and setting its tax happen on Pons.
Pons v1 and Pons v2
v1: a pool from block one
Creating a v1 coin deploys the token and its WETH pool in the same transaction and locks the liquidity. There is no curve and no migration later. Buys are restricted for the first two blocks: on the launch block only the creator's opening buy can go through, and for the rest of the window no wallet can hold more than 5% of supply.
v2: a curve first
A v2 coin starts with its entire supply on a bonding curve that always buys and sells. A fixed share is held back from the start, and when the curve sells out that share and everything the curve collected become a Uniswap v4 pool, locked for good. Every launch on the same settings arrives at a pool of the same size and price.
Two meanings of graduation
On v1, graduation is only a status: the pool has paired 4.2 ETH and trading carries on exactly as before. On v2 it is an event. It happens inside whichever buy finishes the curve, the pool is built in the same transaction, and if that step ever stalls anyone can push it through, creator or not.
What a creator cannot change
After a v2 launch the creator can move where their fees go and switch buybacks on or off, and that is all. Supply, pricing, the pair, the tax and the graduation terms are fixed, and nobody can mint, freeze a wallet or reach the locked liquidity.
The Snipe Tax on Pons V2
Every v2 launch opens with a tax on buying that makes the first seconds too expensive to race.
The tax starts at 99% of a buy and decays exponentially: about 25% after one second, around 3% after two, and nothing at all by the fifth. It never applies to selling. What it collects joins the coin's trading fee and is shared out the same way, so the value a sniper gives up stays with the launch instead of leaving it.
Two wallets are exempt by design, the one that launched the coin and its creator fee recipient, and a creator can name further team wallets when the coin is created. That gives the opening blocks a useful reading. A large buy in the first second or two is either paying most of its size in tax or coming from a wallet the creator chose, and on a coin you are about to buy, the second is the one worth knowing about. The first trades on the chart and the top of the holder list show which it was.
ETH, USDG and Stock-Token Pairs
Most v2 coins are priced in ETH, but a creator can pick any asset Pons has approved: the USDG dollar stablecoin, Robinhood stock tokens such as NVDA, META, SPY, QQQ and SpaceX's SPCX, and a growing list of other tokens. Whatever is chosen becomes the currency of the whole launch. You buy and sell in it, the graduation target is counted in it, the Uniswap pool is paired against it and the creator is paid in it, which is why Pons says its creators have earned more than $125 million in stock tokens, USDG and ETH.
For a trader the pair adds its own risk. A coin priced in a stock token can rise against that token and still fall in dollars if the stock drops, and a launch paired with a thinly traded asset is only as liquid as that asset. On pons itself you need to hold the pair asset before you can buy, since a stock-token launch takes the stock token rather than ETH, and Robinhood's terms restrict who may hold its stock tokens at all, so check that before funding one.
Pons Coins in Axiom's Pulse
With HOOD selected, tick Pons, Pons V2 or both in the protocol filter. v2 is where the volume is now: in an eleven-hour stretch on 22 September its factory recorded close to six thousand launches, so the numeric filters do most of the work. The creator tax is the one number Pulse will not settle for you: it can be anything up to 10% each way, so read it on the coin's pons page before the first buy.
Pons' own documentation adds a warning worth repeating: names and symbols can be copied, and only the contract address identifies a coin. A popular ticker can have several copies on the same feed.
Pons Trading Bot
The creator tax is the number that decides whether a Pons trade can pay.
On a v2 coin without one, a round trip costs 1% each way to Pons and 0.8% each way to Axiom with the referral code, about 3.6% before slippage, and the Uniswap v4 pool adds no fee of its own after graduation. Add the maximum 10% creator tax and the same round trip costs about 23.6%. The tax is set at launch and can never rise, so read it once on the coin's pons page and size the trade to it. Exits work best as limit orders drawn on the chart, which the limit orders page explains.
Pons Sniper Bot
On Pons the sniper's job is to wait a couple of seconds.
A v2 buy in the first second pays about a quarter of its size or more in snipe tax, so a sniper that fires on the launch block is simply donating to the coin. From the third second the tax is a few percent and falling, and from the fifth it is gone. A v1 launch has its own opening rules instead: nothing but the creator's buy on the launch block, then per-wallet caps for the rest of a two-block window. Axiom's own HOOD reel shows the tool for this: a buy armed to wait until a launch's tax drops under 5% before it fires, which on a v2 launch is about two seconds in.
The graduation side is more predictable than on most pads, because every v2 launch on the same settings graduates into a pool of the same size at the same price. A curve close to selling out will graduate inside the buy that finishes it, and the pool is trading in that same transaction. The memecoin sniper page has the filters.
Robinhood Chain Settings for Pons Coins
Robinhood Chain's sequencer takes transactions in the order they arrive, so on a busy Pons launch the race is won by the shortest route, not the biggest fee. Axiom's route is the Robinhood Express Lander, set under Priority in each buy and sell preset with a default of 0.001 ETH. Raise it for a contested entry and lower it for exits that can wait a block. Gas costs cents, so a small ETH balance covers a lot of trades. The Robinhood Chain page covers the chain and every other pad in the HOOD filter.
Pons So Far
Pons went live in mid-July 2026, less than two weeks after Robinhood Chain's mainnet, and took over quickly: on one day in late July it accounted for more than half of all transactions on the chain. Pons v2 followed on 4 August, and with it the bonding curve and the snipe tax.
By 19 September Pons put its own share of Robinhood Chain's $60 billion cumulative DEX volume at about $14 billion. Its PONS token, which the protocol buys back with most of its protocol fees and burns, was listed on Bybit's spot market on 22 September. That same week the pons site flagged a backend upgrade ahead of a new rollout.
Where Pons Bites
The creator tax is easy to miss and expensive at the top of its range. Check it before every first buy, and remember that it pays the creator on every trade in both directions, whether holders make money or not.
Graduation proves only that a threshold was reached; Pons says so itself, and it is not a verdict on the coin. A community takeover can also change who receives a coin's creator fees. When Pons forces one for an abandoned coin, the change is announced publicly and waits three days before it can take effect.

Pons on Axiom — FAQ
Does Axiom list Pons coins?
Yes. Pons and Pons V2 are the first two protocols in Axiom's Robinhood Chain filter, and their coins trade from the usual panel, presets and hotkeys once HOOD is selected.
Why trade Pons coins through Axiom?
For timing and speed on Robinhood Chain: launch ages in Pulse to avoid the v2 snipe tax, Axiom's Express Lander route, Pons beside the other HOOD pads, and migration orders when a curve sells out.
What is the difference between Pons and Pons V2?
Pons v1 launches straight into a locked 1% Uniswap v3 pool against WETH with no curve. Pons v2, live since 4 August 2026, starts on a bonding curve and graduates into a permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool when the curve sells out.
What is the Pons snipe tax?
A tax on buys in the first five seconds of a v2 launch. It starts at 99%, falls to about 25% after one second and around 3% after two, and reaches zero by five. Selling is never taxed.
What does it cost to trade a Pons coin?
A v2 coin charges 1% per trade on the curve and in the pool, plus any creator tax the creator set, up to 10%. v1 coins pay their pool's 1% fee. Axiom adds 1% per trade, 0.8% with the TradeNow code.
What can a Pons coin be paired with?
v1 coins trade against WETH. v2 coins can be priced in ETH, the USDG stablecoin, Robinhood stock tokens such as NVDA or SPY, or other assets Pons has approved.
When does a Pons coin graduate?
At 4.2 ETH by default, or roughly the same value in the pair asset. On v1 that is only a status; on v2 the curve sells out and a locked Uniswap v4 pool is created in the same transaction.
Is Axiom affiliated with Pons?
No. Axiom trades Pons coins through their public contracts on Robinhood Chain; Pons' own site is ponsfamily.com.
