How Bind works, in plain terms.
What is Bind
Bind is a token-binding layer on top of Pons V2, the launchpad on Robinhood Chain. You launch a token through Bind and bind it to any asset on the chain: a Robinhood Stock Token like TSLA, an ETF token like SPY, a stablecoin, a memecoin.
Your token is not that asset and does not track its price. Binding decides one thing: which asset the trading fees are turned into and paid out in. Hold a token bound to TSLA and your share of the fees arrives as TSLA.
Bind does not own the token contract or the liquidity. Pons does. Bind owns only the fee stream, through a vault that is set as the fee recipient at launch.
Launching on Pons
Fill in a name, symbol, logo and socials, paste the address of the asset to bind to, and sign one transaction. It costs the 0.0005 ETH Pons launch fee plus gas. You supply no liquidity.
That transaction deploys a vault for your launch and calls Pons to create the token and its bonding curve, with the vault as the creator fee recipient. Supply is one billion tokens, all of it on the curve.
The token trades on the Pons curve until it graduates. At graduation the curve closes and the liquidity moves into a full-range Uniswap v4 pool that is locked forever in the Pons Launch Locker. Fees keep flowing to the same vault after graduation.
If the bound asset is one Pons already approves as a pair token (TSLA and USDG today), the launch is priced in that asset directly, so fees arrive already in the bound asset. Otherwise the launch is priced in ETH and the vault converts later.
Binding to any asset
There is no curated list. Any ERC-20 with code on Robinhood Chain can be bound. The server reads name, symbol and decimals straight from the contract when you paste the address.
The featured list on the home page is a shortcut to the Robinhood Stock Tokens. It is not a limit.
The bound asset is fixed when the vault is created and stored on chain. It cannot be changed afterwards, by you or by Bind.
The escrow and the $100 threshold
Every trade on the curve and in the pool pays a fee. The creator share is credited to the vault inside the Pons fee escrow. Anyone can call harvest to pull that balance into the vault.
The vault then waits. It prices what it holds with a Chainlink feed (ETH/USD, or the asset feed) or, for assets without a feed, a Uniswap v3 time-weighted price against USDG. Nothing else happens until the balance is worth at least $100.
The threshold exists because of gas. A conversion is an on-chain swap, and swapping a few cents would cost more than it moves. The $100 figure is a constant in the factory, set at deploy.
Conversion
Once the threshold is met, anyone can call convert. The vault swaps what it holds into the bound asset on Uniswap v3, or on the Pons curve or its v4 pool when the bound asset is itself a Pons token.
The swap must clear a minimum output derived from the oracle price minus a maximum slippage set at deploy. This stops a caller from converting into a manipulated pool.
Bind takes its protocol cut here, in the bound asset. What is left is the bag for this round.
Distribution and claims
After a conversion the indexer takes a snapshot of holders at the conversion block from Transfer logs. The curve, the locker and the vault are excluded. It builds a merkle tree and the operator publishes the root and the amount to the vault.
Holders claim on the Claim page with a merkle proof. A claim can only be made once per round. Amounts that are not claimed stay claimable.
Publishing the root is the one trusted step. The snapshot block and the root are public, so anyone can recompute the tree from chain data and check it. Merkle claims are used because the token contract belongs to Pons, so Bind cannot hook into transfers, and pushing to thousands of holders would not fit in a transaction.
Fees
Pons sets the trading fee. Of the base fee, 70% goes to the creator side and 30% to the Pons protocol. For a Bind launch the creator side is the vault.
A creator tax of up to 10% can be added on top. All of it goes to the vault, which raises what holders receive.
Bind takes a fixed protocol cut at conversion, in the bound asset. The cut is set at launch, stored on chain per vault, and cannot be changed afterwards.
Risks
Tokens launched on Bind confer no ownership, dividend or voting rights in any company or asset. A token bound to TSLA is not Tesla stock and does not track its price.
Robinhood Stock Tokens and other bound assets are issued by third parties and carry their own custody, redemption and jurisdictional rules. Bind has no control over them.
Pons V2 is unaudited at the time of writing. Audits are in progress. Bind is built on Pons and carries that risk. Liquidity is locked by Pons and cannot be withdrawn, so a launch with wrong parameters cannot be undone.
Bind is not available to persons in restricted jurisdictions. Nothing here is investment advice.
