Overview

NVDA Launch is an interface to the official Pons V2 launch contracts on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663). It supports exactly one market type: a new token quoted in the NVDA Stock Token. The launch transaction you sign goes straight to the Pons V2 factory with NVDA as the pair token. There is no wrapper contract, no relayer and no platform fee added by NVDA Launch.

Explore lists every Pons V2 launch whose quote asset is NVDA, verified against the factory record and the curve itself. Launches submitted through this site are marked as such only after the server has verified their receipt.

Launching

1. Connect an EVM wallet and switch it to Robinhood Chain.
2. Enter a name, ticker, description and optional socials, and upload artwork. The artwork URL, name, ticker, description and socials are written onchain by the Pons token contract and cannot be edited later.
3. Choose a Pons launch configuration. Supply, curve fee and pool tick spacing come from the configuration; the NVDA phantom reserve and graduation threshold come from Pons' economics for NVDA.
4. Optionally set a creator tax (up to the live Pons maximum) and buyback-and-lock.
5. Review and sign. Right before your wallet opens, the app re-reads the launch fee, NVDA approval, your launch permission and the economics digest, simulates the call and shows the gas bound. The digest is passed as expectedEconomics, so if Pons changes any term in between, the launch reverts instead of repricing.

An optional initial buy runs as two follow-up transactions (an exact NVDA approval and a curve buy) after the launch confirms. Pons exempts the launching wallet and its fee recipient from the launch-window snipe tax.

Current Pons status matters. Pons only accepts a launch when NVDA is an approved pair token and the launching wallet is allowed to launch (public launches open, or the wallet is whitelisted). The launch page reads both live and disables launching, with the reason, when either is false.

Trading

Before graduation you trade against the token's bonding curve: buys pay NVDA, sells receive NVDA. After graduation you trade the Uniswap V4 TOKEN/NVDA pool through the Uniswap Universal Router, using Permit2 approvals. The Pons hook takes its fee inside the pool, and quotes come from the V4 Quoter, which runs the real swap path including the hook.

Every trade shows the expected output, a minimum output based on your slippage tolerance, price impact and fees. Quotes older than 30 seconds are refreshed before signing. The curve contract has no deadline parameter, so your minimum output is the protection there; router swaps also carry a 20 minute deadline.

How NVDA pairing works

Pons V2 curves trade in the same asset their graduated pool will use. When a launch is created with NVDA as the pair token, the curve collects NVDA from the first trade, and graduation seeds the V4 pool with that NVDA directly. No ETH curve is involved and nothing is swapped between assets.

Pairing sets the unit of account. A token priced in NVDA gains or loses NVDA value based only on its own trading. It does not track NVIDIA's share price, it is not NVIDIA equity, and it carries no claim on NVIDIA, Robinhood or Pons. Because prices are quoted in NVDA, a token's value in dollars also moves with the NVDA Stock Token's own price.

Bonding curve and graduation

Each launch mints its full supply to its own constant-product curve with a virtual (phantom) NVDA reserve that sets the opening price. A fixed share of supply is reserved for the pool; the curve sells everything above it. Graduation happens when that sellable allocation reaches zero, which is the same point at which the real NVDA reserve reaches the graduation threshold.

Graduation has two permissionless steps, both shown on the token page when they are pending:

• Finalize graduation (graduate): sweeps the curve's reserves into the factory. The crossing buy normally triggers this automatically; if it runs out of gas, anyone can call it.
• Create pool (createGraduatedPool): seeds a full-range Uniswap V4 position with the swept NVDA and tokens and locks it permanently. It can be retried until it succeeds.

NVDA Launch derives the lifecycle only from contract state: the factory's graduation phase and the curve's readiness flag. A displayed progress percentage never marks a token as graduated.

Fees

All figures are read live from the contracts and shown before you sign. NVDA Launch adds no fee of its own.

• Launch fee: a fixed ETH amount set by Pons (launchFee), paid to the Pons protocol fee recipient.
• Curve fee: a percentage of the NVDA leg of every curve trade, set by the launch configuration and split between the Pons protocol and the creator (and the buyback slice when enabled).
• Creator tax: optional, chosen at launch within the Pons maximum, paid entirely to the creator fee recipient, charged on the NVDA leg on top of the curve fee.
• Pool hook fee: after graduation the Pons hook takes its fee plus the creator tax from each swap.
• Snipe tax: during the first seconds after a launch, buys from non-exempt wallets pay a high, decaying tax set by Pons.

Creator fees accrue in NVDA and are credited to the Pons fee escrow when swept. The portfolio page shows claimable escrow balances and pending curve fees, and lets you sweep and claim where the contracts allow it.

Wallet approvals

• Curve buys need an NVDA approval to the curve. Curve sells need a token approval to the curve.
• Pool swaps need an ERC-20 approval to Permit2 and a Permit2 allowance for the Universal Router, limited to 30 minutes.
• All approvals are for the exact amount by default. An unlimited curve approval is available only as an explicit opt-in.
• NVDA Launch never asks for a private key or seed phrase.

Gas

Every transaction on Robinhood Chain pays gas in ETH, including trades priced in NVDA. You need ETH on Robinhood Chain for launch fees and gas, and NVDA for buys. The app shows these separately and checks your ETH balance against the simulated gas bound before signing.

About the NVDA Stock Token

The NVDA Stock Token (0xd0601CE157Db5bdC3162BbaC2a2C8aF5320D9EEC) is a Robinhood-issued ERC-20 with 18 decimals. Robinhood documents that stock tokens implement a scaled UI amount extension for corporate actions: raw balances do not change, while a multiplier converts raw amounts into underlying shares for display. NVDA Launch prices and trades in raw token units, as the Pons contracts do.

Robinhood-issued tokens are upgradeable and may include compliance logic. If the NVDA token ever restricted transfers to Pons or Uniswap contracts, trading or graduation for NVDA pairs could fail. Pons includes delayed owner rescue paths for that case.

Verified contracts

Sources and verification notes are kept in the repository's integration document. The server re-checks factory code, NVDA approval and economics continuously and reports them at /api/readiness.

Risks

• Speculation: launch tokens have no intrinsic value and can go to zero. Early buyers can sell into later buyers.
• Contract risk: Pons states its V2 audits are not finalized. Bugs in Pons, Uniswap V4, Permit2 or the NVDA token could cause loss.
• Admin powers: the Pons owner can change parameters for future launches, disable buybacks, and, after timelocks or delays, redirect a creator fee recipient or rescue swept reserves.
• Quote asset risk: NVDA pairs inherit the NVDA Stock Token's price moves, issuer controls and any transfer restrictions.
• Market structure: thin liquidity, high price impact and the launch-window snipe tax can produce poor fills.
• Interface risk: this site can be unavailable or show delayed data. The contracts remain usable directly.
