The Basics

What is Pair Pad?

A token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. You launch on a Pons V2 bonding curve, pick any token on any of around sixty chains to back it with, and your creator fees are paid out in that token rather than the chain's gas token.

What does backing a token with another token mean?

It sets what your creator fees are paid in. The token still launches and trades on Robinhood Chain, but when you withdraw, the fees are routed through Relay into the token you picked and sent to an address on that token's own chain.

Do I need to hold the backing token myself?

No. You are choosing what your fees are converted into when you withdraw them. You do not need to own any of it at launch, and you do not need a balance on that chain beyond an address to receive at.

Can I back it with any token at all?

Any token Relay can route into, which covers most of what people ask for. A token that cannot be routed into is refused at launch rather than accepted, because it would leave you earning fees with no way to be paid them.

What You Set At Launch

What exactly is fixed when I launch?

The name, symbol, image, description and links; the creator tax; the holder share; the backing token and its chain; and the payout address. None of them can be changed once the transaction confirms.

Why can nothing be edited after launching?

Because the token everyone else sees should be the one you launched. If the description or the fee rate could change after people bought, every buyer would have to check whether it had.

What can I still change after launching?

When you claim your fees, when you withdraw them, and whether you publish a holder payout round. That is the whole of the flexible surface.

Fees And Costs

How much can I charge on every trade?

Between zero and ten percent, in one of five steps, set once at launch. It is taken off the quote leg of every buy and every sell, so a round trip pays it twice. You can also assign a share of it to holders, which a vault pays out.

What does a launch cost?

0.0005 ETH plus gas on Robinhood Chain, in one transaction. There is no listing fee, nothing recurring, and no share of your supply taken by anyone.

read more

What can you actually promise?

The rate you set, the token your fees arrive as, and the share your holders get. All three are enforced by contracts. What those fees come to depends on trading volume, which nobody can promise you.

Fee Sharing

How does a holder split actually pay out?

The vault harvests fees from the escrow and divides each harvest by your holder share. The holder portion is published as a round against a snapshot of who held the token at a given block, and holders claim their share from it.

read more
read more

Who counts as a holder in a round?

Balances are rebuilt from the token's transfer history at the snapshot block. The curve, the graduated pool, its locker and the vault itself are excluded, since they hold the unsold supply and the liquidity.

read more

Why not just launch on Pons directly?

You can, and a launch that keeps all of its fees goes straight to Pons anyway. What Pair Pad adds is the backing token, the cross-chain payout and the holder split, none of which Pons does on its own.

read more
read more

What should make me suspicious of a launch?

A fee split promised in a thread rather than shown on a vault, a creator tax high enough to make trading pointless, and any projection of what the fees will be worth. The first two are checkable on-chain; the third is guesswork.

Lifecycle | After launch

Trading And Graduation

How soon can people trade it?

In the same block the launch confirms. The curve is the market from the start, so there is no listing step and no approval to wait for. Your fees begin accruing on the first trade.

read more
read more

What happens when the curve graduates?

Once the curve's accumulated quote reaches its threshold, that quote becomes the liquidity of a Uniswap v4 pool and the pool becomes the market. Your creator tax, backing token and holder share are unaffected.

What if my launch transaction fails?

A reverted transaction deploys nothing and takes no launch fee, so retrying is clean. If it confirmed but we could not record it, the token exists on-chain regardless and recording is retried.

read more
read more

What if I get the payout address wrong?

Addresses are checked for shape, not for ownership, because no chain can prove an address is yours until something arrives there. It cannot be changed after launch, so paste it from the wallet rather than typing it.

Do your specific R&D require a specific assessment?

The contracts behave the same way for everyone, but what you should pick depends on what you are launching. If your case is not covered by the guides, send a note and we will answer it properly.
01

Back It With Anything

Pick the token your creator fees are paid in.

Sixty chains, from Ethereum and Solana to Base and BNB Chain. Stablecoins, bitcoin, majors, community tokens, and anything else you can paste a contract address for.
02

Routed Without You

Fees leave the curve and arrive as the token you chose.

Relay handles the routing across chains, so there is no bridging step, no manual swap and no second wallet to keep topped up.
03

Split With Your Holders

Decide at launch how much of your fees holders get.

A vault contract takes its cut of every harvest and pays it out against a snapshot of holders, so the split is enforced by code rather than promised in a thread.

We help you capture:

You don’t need perfect paperwork. You need a consistent evidence trail.
