Launching a coin

Launching takes one form and one transaction. This page walks through every field, what it costs, and exactly what ends up on-chain.

Before you start#

A wallet on Robinhood Chain with a little ETH: the 0.0005 ETH launch fee plus gas (cents). Use the bridge link on the site if you have none.
The X or GitHub account you want to tag. You don't need their permission and they don't need to do anything.
Optionally: a logo (PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF up to 1 MB), a description, links, and some of the pair asset for a dev buy.

The form#

1. Beneficiary#

Pick X or GitHub and type a handle or paste a profile link. Dibs resolves it to the account's permanent id and shows the vault address that will receive fees. GitHub users and organisations both work.

2. The coin#

Field	On-chain?	Notes
Name, ticker	Yes, immutable	Up to 64 and 16 bytes.
Image	Yes, as an ipfs:// link	Uploaded to IPFS through Pinata; you can also paste any URL.
Description	Yes	A one-line credit to the tagged account is appended: “Creator fees go to … via Dibs”.
X, Telegram, Website	Yes	Optional. The coin's own links; they don't have to be the tagged account.

3. Pair & economics#

Field	What it does
Paired asset	ETH by default, or a tokenized stock. Sets what the coin trades against, what graduation is measured in, and what fees are paid in. See Pairing with stocks.
Creator tax	0% to 10% on every trade, on top of the 1% Pons fee. Paid entirely to the tagged account. Locked at launch.
Dev buy	An opening purchase in the paired asset, bundled into the launch transaction. As the launcher you are exempt from Pons's launch-window snipe tax.

What happens when you press Launch#

1
Economics are pinned
Dibs reads Pons's current launch terms (previewLaunchEconomics) and includes their hash in the launch, so the coin can't be launched under terms you didn't see.
2
One transaction
Without a dev buy: launchToken on the Pons factory, value 0.0005 ETH. With one: Pons's PonsV2LaunchAndBuy contract launches and buys atomically. For a stock pair you approve the stock first, then launch.
3
Registered
Dibs reads the receipt, verifies on-chain that the coin's fee recipient is the tagged account's vault and that you are the deployer, and lists it.
4
Live
You land on the coin page. It links to Pons for trading and to Blockscout for the contracts. Fees start accruing on the first trade.
