Every X handle gets its payday — enforced by code, delivered by people only at the last mile.
A coin for a handle, a pot for that handle, and a fee split that nobody — including us — can change after launch.
The six steps
- 01
Launch for any handle
Anyone can launch a Pons V2 bonding-curve coin for any X handle. Pick the handle, a name and symbol, and a creator tax. The coin's Pons creator fee recipient is that handle's own FeeSplitter, so the fee flow is wired at launch and can never be redirected afterwards.
- 02
Trades pay the splitter
Every trade on the Pons curve pays the 1% base fee of which 70 bps goes to the creator recipient — our splitter — on top of the creator tax you chose. The splitter accrues that share in the Pons fee escrow.
- 03
The splitter pays pot, holders and the platform on-chain
Anyone can call claimFees(). The splitter pulls what it is owed from the escrow and divides it by the basis points pinned at launch: the handle's vault, the holders' staking pool, and the platform treasury. Integer math leaves the remainder in the vault, so nothing is stranded.
- 04
The owner signs in with X once
The handle owner authenticates with X. An oracle then signs an EIP-712 attestation bound to that handle and vault, and anyone can submit it — the keeper pays the gas, so the owner never needs a wallet balance or a second sign-in.
- 05
Claim, auto-pay or lock
With one attestation the owner can claim any amount to any wallet, set a persistent payout address so every future fee is pushed automatically, lock the handle against further launches, or cancel a pending delivery. The simplest cash-out is a claim straight to the USDG deposit address of a Robinhood Crypto account on Robinhood Chain: Robinhood credits it after 30 confirmations (about five minutes) plus a compliance review, and a claim costs nothing — no bridge, no third-party payment app.
- 06
Or hand it to the community: delivery to X Money, with a 24h owner window
For US handles without a Robinhood account, anyone can request delivery of an unclaimed pot to X Money for a 3% fee. Execution waits 24 hours so the owner always gets the chance to claim first. The last mile is a human X Money send by the delivery operator, recorded in the ops console with public proof.
Pons keeps its own 0.3% of volume on every trade, on top of the creator share. The creator recipient receives the creator tax plus Pons's 0.7% creator base; the splitter then divides that inflow three ways.
The fee split
The launcher picks a creator tax T at the 1% floor or above, on a 50-bps grid when reflections are on. These rows show what that pins for the two ends of the range, with reflections on and off.
| Creator tax T | Reflections | Pot | Holders | X Payday | Pons | Total tax |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1% | on | 1.05% | 0.5% | 0.15% | 0.3% | 2% |
| 1% | off | 1.55% | none | 0.15% | 0.3% | 2% |
| 10% | on | 5.55% | 5% | 0.15% | 0.3% | 11% |
| 10% | off | 10.55% | none | 0.15% | 0.3% | 11% |
What is enforced on-chain vs. by people
Everything that decides who gets paid is a contract rule. Two things are not — the human X Money send, and Robinhood crediting a deposit to its own customers — and we say so plainly.
Enforced on-chain
7 rules- The fee split of every trade, pinned per coin in basis points at launch
- Claims by the handle owner, paid to whatever address they name — a wallet, or a Robinhood USDG deposit address
- Auto-pay: a payout address that future fees are pushed to
- The handle lock, which blocks any further launches against the handle
- The delivery snapshot (amount, fee and destination wallet at request time)
- The 24-hour delay before a delivery can execute
- Abandonment: a pot idle for 180 days flows to that coin's holders, never to the treasury
Done by people, with proof
2 steps- The final send from the delivery wallet to X Money
- Its public proof — a transaction or receipt URL recorded in the ops console
Done by Robinhood, the custodian
3 caveats- Crediting a USDG deposit to your Robinhood account: 30 confirmations (about 5 minutes), then a compliance review that can take a few hours
- Which networks a deposit address accepts — pick Robinhood Chain, or the funds are lost
- Country availability — USDG deposits are not available to New York residents
Robinhood is not a partner and X Payday is not affiliated with it. A claim is just a normal on-chain transfer to the address you name; whether Robinhood credits it is up to Robinhood.
X Payday vs typical handle launchpads
The X Payday column is enforced by the contracts, not by convention.
| X Payday | Typical handle launchpads | |
|---|---|---|
| Reflections | Trustless on-chain staking pool, streamed by the contracts | Keeper-allocated rewards |
| Auto-pay | Sign in with X once; future fees are pushed to your payout address | No automatic payout, repeated sign-ins |
| Handle lock | Owner can lock the handle on-chain against further launches | None |
| Platform fee | 0.15% of volume | 0.20% of volume |
| Delivery fee | 3% when an unclaimed pot is delivered to X Money | 5% |
| Owner window | 24 hours before a delivery can execute | None |
| Abandoned pots | Flow to that coin's holders after 180 days | Swept to the platform treasury |
| Deploy-time keys | Six distinct owner, guardian, oracle, treasury, delivery and operator keys required at deploy | Single key or unenforced roles |
