FAQ
Short answers. Each links to the longer version where there is one.
Do I need the tagged person's permission?#
No. You are launching your own coin and choosing who earns its creator fees. They can claim or ignore it.
Does the tagged person need a wallet?#
Not until they want the money. The vault address exists from launch; a wallet is needed only to receive the payout, and it can be brand new and empty.
Do they need ETH to claim?#
No. Claiming is one free signature. The payout transaction pays for itself: a network fee of a few cents comes out of the amount claimed.
What if they never claim?#
The fees wait in the Pons escrow, credited to their vault, indefinitely. There is no expiry and nobody else can take them.
Can Dibs take a cut or freeze funds?#
No. There is no fee and no admin path to the money. See Vaults & security.
What does Dibs earn?#
Nothing from the protocol. Pons keeps its usual 30% of the trade fee and the launch fee.
What can I pair a coin with?#
ETH, or any tokenized stock or ETF Pons accepts: NVDA, TSLA, SPY and about fifty more. See Pairing with stocks.
Who buys a stock-paired coin?#
Anyone holding that stock on Robinhood Chain. Buys are paid in the stock, and so are the creator fees.
The tagged X account changed its username. What happens?#
Nothing. Vaults are keyed by the permanent account id, not the username.
Can the launcher change the fee recipient later?#
No. Only the vault's bound owner can ask Pons to redirect, and that goes through Pons's 3-day timelock.
Is the code open?#
The contracts are verified on Blockscout at the addresses on the developers page, so anyone can read them.
