Pons surpasses $6B in all-time Uniswap v4 hook volume
Key Summary
Pons, a non-custodial token launchpad, has reached $6 billion in cumulative trading volume through its Uniswap v4 hook pools, a significant milestone in under three months of operation. The platform's graduated pools, which cover every possible price, and its fee split, which favors creators, have contributed to its success.

How Pons Works
Pons runs its graduated pools through a hook called PonsV2MemeHook. It handles swaps after graduation and distributes fees, along with other operational mechanics. The fee split leans heavily toward creators, with roughly 70% going to token creators and around 30% going to the Pons protocol.From V3 to V4
Pons did not start with this design. The project rolled out its V2 contracts on August 3, 2026, just weeks after launching. Before that, Pons deployed tokens directly to Uniswap v3. The V2 upgrade replaced that approach with the curve-then-v4-hook structure described above.Robinhood Chain's Share of Uniswap
In early September 2026, Robinhood Chain accounted for $901.5M of Uniswap's total $1.6B trading volume over a 24-hour period, representing 56.3% of Uniswap's volume for the day.Fee Generation and Pump.fun Comparison
Pons has often outpaced pump.fun in daily fee generation. Pons puts part of its revenue toward recurring buybacks and burns of its $PONS token, using its earnings to purchase its own token on the open market and then permanently removing those tokens from circulation.Uniswap Labs' Position
Uniswap Labs bought $PONS tokens in early September 2026. The purchase was framed as a sign of long-term engagement with the project.#Uniswap#Pons#RobinhoodChain#Crypto#US
