one clock, one rule.
scroll, and watch an hour run.
Every coin launched here carries a 2% creator tax into the treasury, and so does $PODIUM with its own 1% fee. On the hour, the treasury spends what it collected buying every eligible launch — split evenly, one transaction, held not sold.

eligibility
who is in the next buy.
- launched here
- The coin was created through Podium, on the Pons factory. Nothing else qualifies.
- traded this hour
- At least 0.05 ETH of two-sided volume in the hour being paid for. Dormant coins skip the round.
- one per creator
- A wallet's newest eligible launch counts. Spinning up ten coins gets you one share, not ten.
- creator still in
- The creator still holds at least half of their own dev buy. Dump on your holders and the buys stop.
- still on our rails
- Coins that graduate keep their place, as long as they trade in the pool Pons locked for them.
questions
the fine print, but short.
What does it cost to launch here?+
Gas on Robinhood Chain, plus a dev buy if you want one. There is no listing fee, but your coin is created with a 2% creator tax pointed at the Podium treasury, so the creator fee on your trades goes there instead of to you. That tax is the money the hourly buys are made with.
Where does the buy money come from?+
Two taps into one treasury: the 2% creator tax on every coin launched here, and the 1% creator fee on $PODIUM itself. That is the entire budget. Nothing is minted to fund it.
How big is an hourly buy?+
Whatever the flagship earned that hour, divided by the number of eligible coins. A quiet hour is a small buy, and if the share would land under 0.002 ETH the hour rolls over instead.
Why an even split?+
Because weighting by size pays the coins that need it least, and the newest launch on the board is the one an equal share actually moves. The trade-off is farming, which is what the eligibility rules are for.
What happens to the tokens you buy?+
They stay in the treasury wallet, which is public. They are not sold, not paired into liquidity, and not handed out.
Do I get paid?+
No. Nobody receives ETH from this: not holders of $PODIUM, not creators. The fee is spent buying coins, and those coins are held.
