Launch on Pons
Run the go/no-go checklist, sign once, and Gantry connects the new token to your site.
#Overview
The Launch page turns a built site into a live token on Pons v2. The transaction is sent from your own wallet to the Pons contracts; Gantry prepares it, checks it, and afterwards connects the result to your site.
| Cost | Amount | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| Pons launch fee | Read live from the Pons factory and shown before you sign | Pons, from your wallet |
| Gantry fee | Free | Gantry, in fuel |
| Dev buy (optional) | Any amount of ETH you choose | The bonding curve, for your own tokens |
| Network gas | A small amount of ETH | Robinhood Chain |
#Go/no-go checklist
Six stations must read GO before the launch button arms.
| Station | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 01 · Vehicle | Token name, at least 2 characters |
| 02 · Callsign | Ticker, 2–10 letters or digits |
| 03 · Insignia | A logo is set (upload, AI or import) |
| 04 · Mission | Description, at least 8 characters |
| 05 · Fuel pair | ETH pair, valid dev buy, creator tax within the Pons maximum |
| 06 · Comms | An X or Telegram link |
Gantry also checks with the Pons factory that launching is open for your wallet and that an active launch configuration exists, so a launch that would fail is stopped before your wallet is asked to sign.
#Launch parameters
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name, ticker, description, logo | Written on-chain to the token. They can't be changed later. |
| Socials | Your X and Telegram links. The website is set to your Gantry site automatically. |
| Creator tax | A percentage of each trade sent to you as creator, up to the maximum Pons allows. 0% by default. |
| Creator fee recipient | Always your connected wallet. |
| Dev buy | Optional. Buys your own token in the same transaction, right at launch. |
#What happens when you press launch
Save
Name, ticker, description and socials are saved to your site so the site and the token match.
Simulate
The launch is simulated against the live contracts. If it would revert, you see the reason and nothing is sent.
Sign
Your wallet asks you to confirm one transaction on Robinhood Chain. Review the amount, then approve.
Verify
Gantry waits for the receipt and reads the TokenLaunched event from the Pons factory to get the new contract address.
Connect
The address is wired into your site, the site is published, and the token appears on Departures.
#Dev buy and slippage
With a dev buy, Gantry launches through the Pons launchAndBuy router so the launch and your first buy happen in one transaction. The expected amount is simulated first, and the transaction reverts if you would receive more than 5% fewer tokens than simulated.
#If confirmation is slow
If the chain takes longer than usual, the page shows Check again. Your launch is not lost: the transaction hash is kept, and pressing Check again finishes the connection. Checking twice never charges twice.
#Pons access
Whether a wallet may launch is decided by Pons, not Gantry. Gantry reads canLaunch for your wallet before every launch. If Pons restricts launching, the Launch page tells you instead of letting a transaction fail.
Prices and limits on this page are read live from Gantry's settings.
