Uniswap Labs said on Aug. 6 that Pools.trade, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, is now live. The team said community users had already discovered an early version of the smart contracts before the official interface went online and generated more than $150 million in trading volume, which it said showed clear demand for the product. To support both those early test contracts and the formal release, Uniswap Labs upgraded its website and indexing systems at the same time, a change that slightly delayed the launch. The company said Pools.trade does not charge an additional launchpad fee and only keeps the standard protocol fee used across Uniswap v4 pools. It also supports auto-compounding liquidity, a feature the team said will later be extended to regular Uniswap LP positions. Every token launched through the platform uses permanently locked liquidity. Pools.trade offers two launch formats: instant launches and crowd-sale launches based on a simplified CCA mechanism that Uniswap Labs described as fairer and more resistant to bundling attacks. On day one, the platform was integrated with the Uniswap web app, wallet, trading API, third-party trading APIs, and external platforms including Bitget, GMGN, OKX Wallet, and FOMO. The product remains in beta.

Uniswap Labs formally launched Pools.trade on Aug. 6, introducing a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain.

The team said community users had already found an early version of the smart contracts before the official interface went live and had traded more than $150 million through it. Uniswap Labs said that early activity validated demand for the product. To keep both the early test contracts and the formal version compatible, the company upgraded its website and indexing systems in parallel, which slightly pushed back the launch timing.

How Pools.trade is structured

According to Uniswap Labs, one of Pools.trade’s main distinctions is that it does not add a separate launchpad fee. It only retains the standard protocol fee applied across Uniswap v4 pools. The team said that leaves launch pools with materially lower total spread than most comparable products, making the setup more favorable for traders.

The platform also supports auto-compounding liquidity. Uniswap Labs said the same feature is planned for regular Uniswap LPs later on. All projects launched on Pools.trade use permanently locked liquidity.

Pools.trade supports two launch formats:

Instant launches, which the team said are similar to mainstream launch platforms.
Crowd-sale launches, built from a simplified CCA mechanism that Uniswap Labs said is fairer and more resistant to bundling attacks.

Integrations and fee allocation

Uniswap Labs said Pools.trade went live on day one with deep integrations across the Uniswap web app, wallet, trading API, third-party trading APIs, and external platforms including Bitget, GMGN, OKX Wallet, and FOMO. The team said those integrations will continue to expand.

On fees, Uniswap Labs specifically clarified that the 0.25% LP fee is automatically compounded into the locked liquidity pool rather than sent to the Uniswap team. Within that fee, 20% goes to the token creator and 80% is used for the liquidity auto-compounding mechanism.

Pools.trade is currently in beta, and Uniswap Labs said it will keep iterating on the product.
