What does pons charge?
pons charges 0.0005 ETH to launch a coin and about 1% of every trade. Each coin also has a creator tax of 0–10% that its creator chose, and every transaction pays Robinhood Chain's gas in ETH.
pons's fee applies on the bonding curve and in the Uniswap pool a coin moves to when it graduates. We checked these on 14 November 2026: pons's launch fee is read from its contract every time memetools builds a launch.
What does it cost to launch on pons?
A launch costs pons's 0.0005 ETH and the gas to send it. Everything else is the buys you choose to make, starting with your own first buy.
pons sets its launch fee in its own contract and can change it. memetools reads it before every launch and pauses launching if it ever goes above 0.002 ETH, until we've checked what changed.
How to launch, step by step, is in Launch a memecoin on Robinhood Chain.
What does a trade cost?
A trade on pons pays about 1% to pons plus the coin's creator tax. On a coin with the common 2% tax that's about 3% of each buy or sale, before gas.
| A 0.1 ETH buy | pons | Creator tax | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator tax 0% | 0.001 ETH | 0 | 0.001 ETH (1%) |
| Creator tax 2% | 0.001 ETH | 0.002 ETH | 0.003 ETH (3%) |
| Creator tax 10% | 0.001 ETH | 0.01 ETH | 0.011 ETH (11%) |
- The creator tax differs coin by coin, so check it before trading: it shows on the coin's page.
- It's charged on sales as well as buys.
- The same fees carry on after graduation, through the Uniswap pool's hook.
Who receives the creator tax and how it's claimed is in pons creator tax and creator fees.
What is the anti-snipe tax?
For the first five seconds after a launch, pons taxes buys heavily: 99% at the start, falling to zero. It's there to make the very first seconds expensive for bots.
- The creator's own first buy is part of the launch, so it isn't taxed this way.
- A launch can name wallets that are exempt. Those pay the normal fee and creator tax.
- The exemptions are written into the launch, so anyone can read which wallets had them.
Waiting a few seconds after a launch avoids it entirely. How memetools's Snipe launch uses exemptions is in Robinhood Chain bundler.
How much is gas on Robinhood Chain?
Gas on Robinhood Chain is paid in ETH and has two parts, both included in one fee: the cost of running the transaction on Robinhood Chain, and the cost of posting its data to Ethereum.
- Robinhood describes the first part as typically very low and stable.
- The second part rises and falls with how busy Ethereum is, and with how much data the transaction carries.
- Your wallet's fee preview, or the review in memetools, already includes both.
Gas a pons trade uses
These are the amounts memetools's own trades used in simulation on mainnet, our fee included. The ETH they cost is that gas times the network's price at the moment, which your review shows. memetools stops building trades when the network's price is unusually high, rather than send at any price.
What do launch tools add?
A tool that launches or trades for you can add its own fee. memetools adds 1% of each buy or sale it sends, or 0.25% with Pro.
Our fee is paid in the same transaction as the buy or sale, so one that doesn't go through pays nothing. The whole list is in the Documentation's fees. Getting ETH onto the chain is covered in How to bridge to Robinhood Chain.
Risks
Fees are the cost you know in advance. The price of the coin is the cost you don't: memecoins are highly speculative, and most lose nearly all their value.
- pons can change its fees. These figures were checked on 14 November 2026; we recheck them each month.
- A high creator tax makes every trade dearer, in both directions.
- Gas is spent even when a trade fails, for example when the price moves past your limit.
- Nothing here is financial advice.
