Uniswap Launches Pools Token Launchpad on Robinhood Chain
Uniswap has introduced Pools, its inaugural native token launchpad on the Robinhood Chain, enabling users to create and trade new cryptocurrencies while benefiting from built-in safeguards. The platform provides two choices: Crowd Launch, which features a four-hour bidding period based on time-weighted average price (TWAP), and Instant Launch that utilizes a bonding curve. Should a Crowd Launch achieve a fully diluted valuation of $10,000, it will transition into a live Uniswap v4 liquidity pool; if not, bids will be refunded. Key features include locked liquidity, automatic fee compounding, and a 0.25% fee for liquidity providers. Anti-sniping measures permit creators to purchase their tokens at launch. Early interest resulted in over $150 million in trading volume prior to launch, with Pools currently in beta for community input.
