Briefing. Pons launched on Robinhood Chain on 5 August 2026. Thirty-one days later it is the
#1 launchpad in crypto by daily volume, ahead of pump.fun, and it takes more fees per day than
pump.fun's four surfaces combined. It is also 0.3% of pump.fun's lifetime volume. Both statements are true,
which is why this is scored across sixteen fronts instead of one. Pick a theatre and a window above; the armies
resize, the unit mix changes to match who actually fights in that theatre, and the front line moves.
01
Order of battle
Six units are in the field. pump.fun fights on four surfaces, Pons on two. Bars show each unit's share of its own army in that column, so you can see where an army's weight sits: PumpSwap alone is 81% of pump.fun's traded volume, while Pons V2 is 94% of Pons' fee take.
02
Launchpad leaderboard
Every launchpad DeFiLlama tracks with volume in the last 24 hours, out of 73 total. These two armies are #1 and #2, and third place is five times smaller than second. Robinhood Chain now holds four of the top fourteen slots.

Revenue kept
Fees are what traders pay. Revenue is the slice the protocol keeps after liquidity providers and holders are paid. Pons kept more than pump.fun on 4 September, but pump.fun still holds the week, the month and every year before it.
