Pons founder says PONS burn rate unchanged for now as buyback contract upgrade moves to 7-day cycle

Pons founder Ozzy responded on X to community criticism over the PONS buyback-and-burn design, saying the burn rate has not yet been adjusted and the Claim step is still not fully decentralized. He said the team is upgrading on-chain contracts and plans to move to a recurring structure in which Claim is executed once every seven days, followed by seven days in which all claimed funds are used to buy back and burn PONS. Ozzy also said all buyback and burn actions are already automated, and anyone can trigger the bot for a small reward. He added that the previously set buyback-and-burn rate is 2e per hour, which he said matches a seven-day cycle given that the Splitter contract currently holds about $950,000. Under the setup, buyback funds will appear in two sections: the Active Buyback Vault for the current cycle and another pool reserved for the following week. Earlier, crypto analyst yyy said on X that Pons had gone more than five days without replenishing the buyback distributor and that about $440,000 remained claimable in the custody account.

PONS founder says buyback burns are automated, with fund claims moving to a 7-day cycle

PONS founder Ozzy responded on Oct. 3 to community criticism over the project’s buyback-and-burn mechanism, apologizing for earlier misunderstandings in prior communication. The questions raised by user yyy focused on whether escrow funds still had to be moved manually into the buyback distributor, why funds had not entered the distributor for more than five days, whether the current burn pace was about $120,000 per day, and whether the previously promised automatic claim function for escrow funds had actually gone live. Ozzy said some of those concerns were valid. He acknowledged that the buyback-and-burn rate has not yet been adjusted and that the claim step had not previously been fully decentralized. According to Ozzy, the team is upgrading the contract so the new mechanism will claim funds once every seven days, then use those funds for buybacks and burns over the following seven days in a repeating cycle. He added that all buyback and burn operations are now automated, that anyone can trigger the bot to execute them and receive a small reward, and that future buyback funds will be shown in two sections: the Active Buyback Vault and funds reserved for the next cycle.

Robinhood Chain Cools in September as Top Tokens Slide and Stock Token TVL Stalls

Robinhood Chain, one of the most talked-about public chains this summer, has lost momentum after a strong start following its July 1 launch. A market analysis cited by MarsBit says the slowdown is visible across the chain’s three largest native tokens — PONS, CASHCAT and AI — as well as in its daily network REV, which has fallen back to levels seen before the late-August and early-September surge. The report argues that the pullback matters because speculative onchain activity, especially meme-coin trading, has been closely tied to the growth of Robinhood’s stock-token segment. Robinhood stock token TVL climbed from $48 million on Aug. 30 to $140.6 million on Sept. 1, then largely flattened as trading activity cooled. By Oct. 1, TVL stood at $145.8 million, little changed from early September. The piece also points to a strong relationship between LONG trading volume and stock-token TVL during rising periods, with a 0.86 correlation on a seven-day basis. When LONG volume stopped rising or declined, that relationship dropped to -0.03. The conclusion is not that Robinhood Chain is finished, but that its next phase may still depend on the same speculative participation that helped bootstrap adoption in the first place.

Pons enters V3, leaving Bonding Curve adoption for new tokens up to creators

Pons founder Ozzy said on Oct. 2 that the project has officially moved into V3 mode. The update is aimed mainly at newly launched tokens, while V1 and V2 contracts will remain unchanged and existing tokens will not need any adjustments. Ozzy said the decision on whether V3 tokens should continue using a Bonding Curve will now be left to creators. He linked that change to user feedback, including concerns over limited visibility around the Bonding Curve mechanism. Ozzy also described V3 as a model designed to bring in more revenue, reduce "vampire" behavior, improve trader mechanics, and cut down on extraction, while keeping the community first.

Bonk Guy says PONS may be undervalued against PUMP on revenue multiples

Trader Bonk Guy said on Sept. 29 that market sentiment around PONS may have fallen to a long-term low, arguing that the project looks inexpensive when set against PUMP on a revenue-multiple basis. In his comparison, PUMP was valued at about $2.7 billion after rising 17% on the day, with annualized revenue of roughly $463.6 million, implying a revenue multiple of about 5.82x. PONS, by contrast, was described as having annualized revenue of around $156.8 million and a market capitalization near $375 million, or about 2.39x annualized revenue. Bonk Guy framed the two as leading launchpads on different chains: PUMP in the Solana ecosystem and PONS on Robinhood Chain. He added that if Robinhood Chain can maintain a certain level of ecosystem activity going forward, the gap between PONS’s current valuation and its revenue scale may be worth watching.

Bonk Guy says PONS sentiment may be near a long-term low as valuation trails PUMP

Trader Bonk Guy said market sentiment around PONS may have fallen to a long-term low, framing the token against comparable launchpad project PUMP. According to the figures cited in his post, PUMP currently carries a market capitalization of about $2.7 billion and was up 17% on the day. Its annualized revenue stands at roughly $463.6 million, implying an annualized revenue multiple of about 5.82x. By comparison, PONS has annualized revenue of about $156.8 million and a market capitalization of about $375 million, which puts its annualized revenue multiple at around 2.39x. Bonk Guy described PUMP as the dominant launchpad in the Solana ecosystem, while calling PONS the dominant launchpad on Robinhood Chain. He added that if Robinhood Chain can maintain a certain level of ecosystem activity going forward, the gap between PONS’s current valuation and its revenue scale may be worth watching. The remarks were reported by ChainCatcher.

YAP rolls out Podium mode, with the top three taking 50%, 30%, and 20% of allocation

YAP has introduced a new launch format called Podium mode, changing how round allocations are distributed. According to an update shared by the official account on X, the model no longer spreads allocation across all participants. Instead, only the top three ranked participants receive shares. The first-place participant gets 50%, second place receives 30%, and third place takes 20%. The update came as Creator Fee mechanics draw more attention and PONS is being revisited as a value-capture tool for underlying Launchpad infrastructure. The new setup also adds a competitive element to the leaderboard, shifting participation away from broad distribution and toward rank-based rewards. No additional details were provided in the brief update cited by Odaily.

Pons Teases Social Trading Feature as Community Member Says It May Mirror FOMO

Pons, a token issuance platform on Robinhood Chain, is preparing to roll out a social trading feature, according to a Sept. 29 post from founder @MEADGod. The announcement itself did not spell out product details, but a separate claim from community member @byTheGentleman said the upcoming feature set may be designed to compete with FOMO. Based on that community post, the product could include real-time feeds of on-chain buys and sells, wallet tracking with instant alerts, verified profit-and-loss records, trader rankings, and an expansion to Solana through Pumpfun. At this stage, those feature details remain attributed to the community leak rather than an official product specification from Pons.
