Mochi Launchpad

Overview

This site does not deploy its own contracts and does not run the chain. It is a frontend for the live pons V2 contracts, which pons owns and operates. Every launch, buy, and sell made through this site is a call into pons's factory and router contracts. See Contracts for the exact addresses.

Because this is a frontend on someone else's protocol, pons's owner keeps control over that protocol: they can pause new launches, change fee policy, and reassign a launch's fee recipient, subject to a timelock. Details are in Risk disclosures.

How a token's life cycle works here:

1. Launch — anyone pays a fixed ETH fee to create a token. The full supply is minted to a bonding curve. See How launches work.
2. Trade on the curve — the token trades against ETH on a constant-product bonding curve until it collects enough ETH to graduate. See Trading and pricing.
3. Graduate — once the curve collects enough ETH, a Uniswap v4 pool is created and permanently locked. Trading continues there. See Graduation.
4. Fees flow — every trade, before and after graduation, pays a fee that is split between the protocol and a creator fee recipient. On this site, that recipient is this site's own wallet. See Fees and where they go.

How launches work

Launching a token costs 0.0005 ETH, paid to pons's factory contract. The launch mints a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, all of which go to that token's bonding curve — nothing is minted to the creator's wallet directly.

You can include a developer buy in the same transaction as the launch, buying some of that supply off the curve immediately.

Creator tax

At launch you choose a creator tax between 0% and 10%. It is stored as a whole number of basis points that cannot be negative, so it can never go below 0%. This tax is separate from the standard trade fee and is charged on top of it — see Fees and where they go for how it is paid out.

Anti-snipe exemptions

Every new launch has an anti-snipe tax for its first few seconds of trading (see Trading and pricing). At launch you can declare wallets that are exempt from it. The wallet that receives the developer buy is exempt automatically.

This site pays itself, not you

Every launch made on this site pays its creator fees and creator tax to this site's wallet, not to you. The creator fee recipient field in the launch form is pre-filled with this site's wallet address and cannot be edited. Launching here means trading that future revenue for this site's listing and tooling.

If you want a launch's creator fees and creator tax to go to your own wallet, this is not the site for it: the field is fixed here.

Trading and pricing

Before graduation: the bonding curve

Every launched token trades against ETH on a constant-product bonding curve until it graduates (see Graduation). The curve starts with a phantom reserve of 1.68 ETH, which sets the token's opening price before any real ETH has been collected.

Trading on the curve carries a 1% trade fee. See Fees and where they go for how that fee is split.

Anti-snipe tax

For the first 3 seconds after a token launches, a tax applies to trades against its curve. It starts at 99% and decays down to zero over those 3 seconds. Because Robinhood Chain produces a block roughly every 0.1 seconds, the decay moves in fine steps rather than one abrupt drop.

Two kinds of wallets skip this tax entirely:

• wallets the creator declared as exempt at launch, and
• the wallet that received the developer buy, if there was one.

Everyone else pays the decaying tax if they trade in that first window.

After graduation

Once a token graduates, trading moves to a Uniswap v4 pool instead of the curve. The pool's hook charges a 1% fee per swap, split the same way the curve's fee is (see Fees and where they go). There is no anti-snipe tax on the graduated pool.

Graduation

The threshold

A token graduates once its bonding curve has collected 4.2 ETH. This happens automatically, inside the same buy transaction that pushes the curve's collected ETH across that threshold — there is no separate step for the buyer who triggers it.

Creating the pool

Graduation itself does not create the Uniswap v4 pool. A second, permissionless transaction does that — anyone can send it, not just the creator or the buyer who graduated the curve.

That transaction creates a full-range liquidity position in the pool and locks it permanently. There is no withdrawal path for that liquidity, for anyone, ever.

After graduation

Once the pool exists, trading for that token moves off the curve and onto the pool. See Trading and pricing for how swaps work there, and Fees and where they go for how the pool's fee is split.

Fees and where they go

This site's wallet is the creator fee recipient

For every token launched on this site, the creator fees and the creator tax described below go to this site's wallet, not to the person who launched it. The launch form pre-fills the creator fee recipient with this site's wallet and does not let you change it. Launching here is a trade: you get the listing and the tooling, and this site's wallet gets the revenue that would otherwise go to you as the creator.

Everything below describes where trade fees and creator tax go in pons's contracts. On this site, wherever it says "creator fee recipient," that recipient is this site's wallet.

The trade fee

Every swap — on the bonding curve before graduation, and on the Uniswap v4 pool after — carries a 1% trade fee. It is split like this:

• 30% goes to pons, the protocol. This never reaches us or the creator, regardless of where a token was launched.
• What remains after that is handled one of two ways, depending on whether the creator turned buybacks on at launch:
  • If buybacks are on, 50% of what remains is used to buy the token back and lock it in the buyback vault, where it vests over five years.
  • If buybacks are off, all of what remains goes to the creator fee recipient.

Creator tax

Separately from the trade fee, a token can carry a creator tax of 0% to 10%, chosen at launch and stored as a whole number of basis points (so it cannot be negative). This tax is charged on top of the trade fee and is paid 100% to the creator fee recipient. The combined total trade fee — base fee plus creator tax — is capped at 20%.

A launch is only listed on this site if its creator tax is set above 0%. See How launches work.

Claiming fees

Fees accumulate in pons's fee escrow contract and are claimed from there, in ETH.

Changing the creator fee recipient

The wallet currently set as creator fee recipient can hand that role to another wallet at any time, immediately. Separately, pons's owner can change a token's creator fee recipient, but only through a 3-day timelock followed by a 3-day execution window. The creator fee recipient can never be set to the zero address.

What makes a launch appear here

A launch is listed on this site only when both are true:

• its creator fee recipient is this site's wallet, and
• its creator tax is set above 0%.

A token launched elsewhere, or launched with its creator tax left at 0%, still exists on-chain and trades normally — it simply will not appear in this site's listings.

Because every launch goes through pons's shared factory, any token launched here also appears on pons's own site.

Risk disclosures

This section states what can go wrong and what we cannot promise. Read it before you launch or trade.

pons controls the protocol, not us

We call pons's contracts; we do not own or control them. pons's owner can:

• pause new launches on the factory,
• change the fee policy that applies to future launches, and
• redirect a launch's creator fee recipient, after a 3-day timelock and a 3-day execution window (see Fees and where they go).

We cannot prevent any of this. If pons's owner acts, it affects tokens launched through this site the same as any other token in their factory.

The contracts are not ours

The factory, router, bonding curves, swap hook, fee escrow, buyback vault, and liquidity locker all belong to pons. We have not audited them. See Contracts for the full list and links to the verified source.

Memecoins routinely go to zero

Most tokens launched through a bonding curve lose most or all of their value. A token graduating and getting a permanently locked liquidity pool does not change that. Locked liquidity means the pool cannot be drained by its creator — it is not a promise that the token is worth anything, before or after graduation.

Token metadata is not vetted

A token's name, description, and any links shown for it are written by whoever launched it. We do not check, verify, or endorse any of it. Treat it the same way you would treat text from a stranger.

Network

Mochi Launchpad runs on Robinhood Chain: chain id 4663, native coin ETH, roughly one block every 0.1 seconds. That fast block time is what lets the anti-snipe tax in Trading and pricing decay in fine steps over its 3-second window instead of dropping all at once.

Explorer: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. Every contract this site calls, and every launch, trade, and graduation it triggers, can be verified there independently of this site's own interface.

Contracts

This site does not deploy or own any of the contracts below. They belong to pons and run on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663, native coin ETH). This site only calls them. All addresses are verified on Sourcify; use the explorer link on each row to read the verified source yourself.

Explorer: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com

What each one does

• Factory — creates new tokens and their bonding curves.
• Atomic launch + buy router — lets a launch and a developer buy happen in one transaction.
• Bonding-curve deployer — deploys the constant-product curve each new token trades on before graduation.
• Swap hook — the Uniswap v4 hook that charges the 1% fee on graduated pools.
• Fee escrow — where trade fees and creator tax accumulate before being claimed, in ETH.
• Buyback vault — holds tokens bought back with fee revenue when a creator has buybacks turned on; vests over five years.
• Liquidity locker — holds the permanently locked, full-range liquidity position created at graduation.
• Uniswap v4 PoolManager — the core Uniswap v4 contract that a graduated pool lives in.

None of these contracts are audited by us. Verify them yourself on the explorer before relying on anything stated here.

Reading a launch on-chain

Everything this site shows you is also readable directly from the contracts in Contracts, on the explorer, independent of this site's interface.

• Every contract above is verified on Sourcify, so Blockscout's "Read Contract" tab exposes its public state without needing this site at all.
• A curve's progress toward graduation is just its collected ETH balance against the 4.2 ETH threshold described in Graduation — check the curve contract directly to see how close a token is.
• A token's creator fee recipient and creator tax are set at launch on the factory; compare what you read there against What makes a launch appear here to see why a given token is, or is not, listed on this site.
• Fees waiting to be claimed sit in the fee escrow contract in ETH until the creator fee recipient claims them, as described in Fees and where they go.

If anything this site displays ever looks wrong, the explorer — not this site — is the source of truth.

Support

This site is a frontend, not the protocol. We cannot pause a launch, reverse a trade, undo a graduation, or move a creator fee recipient once it is set — only the wallet holding that role, or pons's owner acting through the timelock described in Risk disclosures, can do that.

If something looks wrong, check it against the contract addresses in Contracts on the explorer before assuming this site's interface is right. This page and the explorer are the two places to look — we have no separate protocol support channel to offer, because we do not operate the protocol.

Terms

Mochi Launchpad is a frontend on pons's V2 contracts on Robinhood Chain. It is not an audit, a guarantee, or an endorsement.

Nothing on this page changes what is written on-chain. The contract addresses in Contracts, and the powers pons's owner still holds as described in Risk disclosures, govern what actually happens — not this page.

This page is documentation, not financial advice, and not an offer to buy or sell any token.
