Launching a coin

Fill in a name, ticker and optional logo, description and socials on the Launch page. You pay the Pons launch fee and, if you like, some extra ETH to buy your own coin in the same transaction. Rigs creates a fee splitter for the coin, then asks Pons V2 to deploy the token and its bonding curve with that splitter as the creator-fee recipient.

Creator fees, 80/20

Pons charges a creator tax on trades. For coins launched here, that tax goes to the coin's fee splitter. When anyone harvests, the splitter sends 20% to the Rigs treasury and keeps 80% for you. You withdraw it in Portfolio with one click. You can hand your share to another wallet at any time.

On Pons, the creator shown for your coin is the splitter's address, not your wallet. That is expected: the splitter is what makes the automatic split possible.

Curve and graduation

A new coin trades on a bonding curve: the price rises as people buy. When the curve sells out, Pons graduates the coin into a Uniswap v4 pool whose liquidity is locked for good. After graduation, pool fees reach the splitter when Pons' operator sweeps them.

What is a hook?

Uniswap v4 lets a pool call a contract, the hook, before and after swaps. Rigs's hook bundles five rule blocks (Anti-Snipe, Surge Fee, Auto Burn, LP Rewards and Nth-Buy Pot) that a pool switches on at creation. Browse them in Hooks and combine them in the Builder.

Staying safe

  • The contracts are not audited. Treat every launch as high risk.
  • The splitter cannot change the Pons fee recipient, and has no admin withdraw. The treasury address can be changed by the Rigs owner; your 80% cannot.
  • Pons can change its own fees or terms. Launches check expectedEconomics and revert if they changed mid-transaction.
  • Anyone can create a coin with any name. Check the token address before trading.
