Pons Continues Impressive Run as V2 Launch Nears...

@ponsdotfamily, the leading token launchpad on @RobinhoodApp's Robinhood Chain, has once again grabbed market attention. The $PONS token is up roughly 35% over the past 24 hours and has gained nearly 800% over the past seven days, making it one of the most talked-about assets in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem.

A Platform Taking Shape on Robinhood Chain

Pons is a non-custodial launchpad built for utility or equity tokens with a fixed supply. It has rapidly become one of the largest sources of new tokens on Robinhood Chain, absorbing a significant share of the network's token-creation activity after an earlier launchpad called NOXA stopped accepting new projects. The platform has drawn frequent comparisons to Pump.fun on Solana, though Pons uses a different launch and liquidity model.

Over 50,000 tokens have been launched on Pons. The platform recorded 58,000 daily active addresses, making it Robinhood Chain's busiest launchpad. The broader network has also expanded sharply: Robinhood Chain has surpassed $300 million in total value locked, emerging as one of the busiest Ethereum Layer 2 networks for speculative trading.

Part of the recent price momentum has been driven by social media attention. On July 21, 2026, PONS briefly reached a $39 million market cap after Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev highlighted PONS founder MEADGod on social media. The platform's new limit order functionality also contributed, with continued social media activity driving an intraday gain of over 129% on July 22.

V2 Upgrade Targets Creators and Real-World Assets

The upcoming V2 release is the clearest catalyst yet for the protocol's longer-term positioning. Pons V2 introduces an ETH-based bonding curve and Uniswap V4 integration, and will support custom trading pairs including tokenized assets such as USDG, NVDA, AAPL, and HOOD.

The Pons team has redesigned their fee structure so creators will now collect fees in $ETH by default, instead of accumulating fees in the launched token, using the new Uniswap V4 pools. Alongside ETH payouts by default, creators will have the option at deployment to receive payouts in another supported asset.

The V2 contracts are expected to be deployed after ongoing audits are completed, with token launches initially taking place through the platform's ponsfamily.com domain. The team noted that the contracts are still undergoing audits with two partners, meaning every feature remains subject to change until deployment.

$PONS remains a highly speculative asset on a network that is only weeks old. Traders should weigh the rapid price appreciation against the risks of a nascent ecosystem.
