How fomopad works

On fomopad anyone can launch a coin on Robinhood Chain for a trader on fomo. Every trade on it pays a small fee in ETH: part buys that trader the coin itself and $…, straight to their fomo wallet, and part goes to whoever launched it.

01

Overview

A coin on fomopad is always launched for someone: a fomo.family user, picked in the launch form. “I launch $CAT for @unipcs.” The coin is a Pons token on Robinhood Chain. It trades on a Pons bonding curve priced in ETH, and graduates to a locked Uniswap v4 pool when the curve fills.

  • The fomo trader it is made for gets 1.5% of every trade: half buys the coin itself, half buys $…, both sent to their fomo Robinhood wallet. They do not have to do anything.
  • The launcher earns 0.5% of every trade, paid to their wallet automatically. There is nothing to claim.
  • Every coin has its own page on fomopad, which is also the website in its on-chain metadata.

02

Made for a fomo trader

The first step of the launch form is Who is this coin for? Search any fomo trader by name or handle and pick them. The coin is matched to that trader for good: it shows their avatar and handle everywhere, and it is listed on their fomopad page at /u/<handle>.

Anyone can launch for anyone, and a trader can have many coins. A trader's page adds up what all of their coins have bought back for them, what has been delivered, and what is still waiting. It also shows their last 10 trades in the fomo app, and their fomo profile is one click away from every coin.

03

The fee split

Every buy and sell pays one trading fee of 2.8%, taken in ETH. Pons keeps 0.3%; the rest is split between the matched trader, the launcher and the platform. These are the live values from the launchpad config:

Trading fee, in ETH2.8%
  • The fomo traderhalf their coin, half $…1.5%
  • Launcherpaid to them automatically0.5%
  • Platformfomopad treasury0.5%
  • Ponsprotocol fee0.3%

On chain the fee is Pons's 1% curve fee (30% of it to Pons) plus a 1.8% creator tax, both collected into the Pons fee escrow for fomopad. fomopad claims it every few minutes and divides it in software: the launcher's share is sent to their wallet, the platform's to the treasury, and the trader's share is bought back for them. Each claim is listed under Fee history on the coin page with its transaction.

04

The platform token buyback

The fomo trader's 1.5% is credited to them in ETH as fees are claimed. A buyback wallet then spends half of it on the coin made for them and half on $…, fomopad's own token, and sends both to the trader's fomo Robinhood wallet automatically.

  • Their own coin. It is bought straight off its bonding curve (or its Uniswap v4 pool after graduation), so every trade also buys the coin back. $…'s own share buys only $….
  • Finding the wallet. fomo holds Robinhood Chain tokens in a smart wallet of its own for each user. fomopad finds that wallet from the trader's fomo activity. Until it is found, everything bought for them is held and shown as pending on their page, then delivered in one go.
  • Showing up in fomo. fomo lists tokens sent to that wallet about an hour after they arrive. The transaction is on their fomopad page right away.
  • Before $… launches, the trader's share simply accrues as ETH. The first buyback runs once the token exists.

05

Launcher fees

The wallet that launched a coin earns 0.5% of its volume, on the curve and after graduation. It is paid out to that wallet automatically, in ETH, a few minutes after the fees are claimed: no button, no claim transaction, no gas.

Launcher earnings lists every coin you launched with what each has paid you and what is on its way. The same numbers are on the coin page when you are connected with the launching wallet.

06

The coins

Every coin is a Pons v2 token: 1 billion supply with 18 decimals, no mint function, no freeze, no transfer tax. The name, ticker, image and links are permanent once launched. The metadata's website is the coin's fomopad page, so there is no website field in the form. It is written as /token/<curve address> (a token cannot contain its own address) and opens the coin's page.

The launch is one transaction from your wallet to the Pons factory, plus Pons's small launch fee in ETH. The coin's address is known before you sign, and fomopad opens its page as soon as the transaction confirms. Always check the address on a coin's fomopad page before you trade.

07

Curve and graduation

Coins start on a Pons bonding curve priced in ETH: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. Every coin uses the same Pons launch config, so every curve plays by the same rules. You can make the first buy in the same transaction that creates the coin, so nobody gets in before you. The first few seconds after a launch carry a steep snipe tax for everyone else.

When the curve has raised about 4.2 ETH, it graduates: the coin and the ETH move into a Uniswap v4 pool whose liquidity is locked forever. For a moment the coin shows as Graduating while the pool is created; then trading continues on the pool, through the same fomopad trade panel and with the same fee split. Graduated coins are listed on DexScreener.

08

Wallets and network

fomopad runs on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663), where gas is paid in ETH. Connect MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet or any browser wallet; if it is on another network, fomopad asks it to switch and adds Robinhood Chain when it is missing.

Selling a coin can take two prompts the first time: an approval that lets the curve or pool take the coin, then the sell itself. Each waits for the previous one to confirm.

09

Risks

Coins are created by anyone and are highly speculative. Being matched to a fomo trader does not mean the trader endorses a coin, and fomopad is not affiliated with Robinhood or fomo. Buybacks and launcher fees only exist when people trade, so they can be zero. Nothing here is financial advice. Check the coin address, and never trade more than you can afford to lose.
