Token launchpad Pons recorded nearly $6 million in fees over 24 hours amid heavy memecoin activity, ranking among top crypto protocols while Uniswap Labs took a position in its native token for long-term alignment
Pons, a token creation and trading platform operating on Robinhood Chain, generated approximately $5.95 million in fees during a recent 24-hour period, according to data from DefiLlama. The figure ranked the launchpad fourth among all tracked crypto protocols by daily fees, behind only Tether, Uniswap and Circle. It also exceeded the roughly $4.64 million produced by rival platform Pump and surpassed the fees collected by the underlying Robinhood Chain network itself.
Robinhood Chain recorded about $4 million to $4.45 million in gas fees over the same window, while decentralized perpetual futures platform Hyperliquid generated around $2 million. In some comparisons, Pons’ single-day total exceeded the combined revenue of Hyperliquid, Polymarket and Fomo. Protocol revenue retained by Pons from the latest daily fees stood at roughly $1.11 million.
Activity on Pons has accelerated sharply. On September 2, users created nearly 25,000 new tokens through the platform, an increase of almost 19 percent from prior levels. Twenty-four-hour trading volume reached approximately $544 million. Since its July launch, Pons has facilitated the creation of roughly 646,000 tokens from more than 167,000 unique creator addresses.
The platform allows users to create and trade tokens directly on Robinhood Chain, with tokens beginning on a bonding curve before graduating into Uniswap V4 liquidity pools. This model has contributed to concentrated trading demand. Pons has generated more daily fees than Solana-based pump.fun every day since August 29, after briefly leading the rival earlier in the summer. Over seven days the launchpad collected $28.83 million in fees and $40.84 million over 30 days.
As of the latest figures, 29.34 percent of the total PONS supply had been burned. Circulating supply stood at about 712.1 million against a maximum of 1 billion. The token traded near $0.5013, up 17.5 percent over 24 hours, after reaching an all-time high of $0.5242. Market capitalization reached $357.1 million with $135.2 million in turnover during the period.
Pons announced that Uniswap Labs had purchased PONS tokens for long-term alignment, describing the move as a deepening of the partnership between the projects. Neither party disclosed the number of tokens involved, the purchase price, the timing or the structure of the transaction. Uniswap Labs had not issued its own statement on the matter at the time of the disclosure.
Pons launched on July 13 and deployed its V2 contracts on August 3, enabling graduated tokens to move directly into Uniswap V4 pools. The integration supports pairs involving ETH, stablecoins such as USDG and tokenized equities including those tracking companies such as Nvidia, Apple and Robinhood. Robinhood Chain has become the largest network by volume for Uniswap V4 trading. Of the $1.6 billion processed across supported chains in a recent 24-hour period, Robinhood Chain accounted for $901.5 million, or 56.3 percent. Ethereum followed with $465.5 million.
Uniswap’s deployment on Robinhood Chain held $207 million in total value locked and generated $7.72 million in fees over one day. Uniswap Labs also operates its own token launch platform, Pools.trade, on the same network. That platform charges no fee to launch a token and routes completed launches into permanently locked Uniswap V4 liquidity. While Pools.trade recorded more launches than Pons on its first day, Pons has since pulled far ahead in fee generation. By late August, Pools.trade was collecting about $38,553 in daily fees compared with multimillion-dollar figures for Pons.
Robinhood Chain mainnet launched on July 1 as an Ethereum Layer 2 built with Arbitrum technology. Tokenized equities formed a central part of its initial offering, yet memecoin issuance and trading quickly emerged as a major driver of activity and fees. Across decentralized exchanges, the network settled $1.35 billion in volume over a recent 24-hour period. Total value locked stood at $818.6 million after a 9.1 percent daily rise, while stablecoins on the chain were valued at $868.5 million.
Trading has remained concentrated. On one recent day, Pons alone generated $445 million of the network’s $874.8 million in decentralized exchange volume. Application revenue on Robinhood Chain reached $2.66 million over 24 hours in one snapshot, with Pons, GMGN and Uniswap together accounting for approximately 93 percent of the measured total. Pons has continued expanding markets tied to tokenized equities, listing additional stock-token pairs including those linked to UPS, Snap, Lululemon, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.
The combination of high fee generation, token buybacks, Uniswap V4 integration and the disclosed token purchase by Uniswap Labs places Pons at the center of current activity on Robinhood Chain, where speculative token creation has become a significant source of network usage alongside its original focus on tokenized real-world assets.
