The idea
Uplift is a launchpad for tokens with configurable fee mechanisms on Robinhood Chain, built on PONS v2. Each coin has its own treasury. Its creator tax and standard creator-fee share fund rewards for eligible holders and support the wider platform.
The first mechanism directs fees toward holders who are below entry and have never sold. Payouts give these holders a way to recover toward break-even without selling their tokens. Reducing that pressure may help support the market floor; neither recovery nor a rising price is guaranteed.
Token creation
You choose the name, identity, creator tax, and reward currency. Your wallet signs the creation transactions. PONS deploys the token and its bonding curve, and Uplift sets a dedicated treasury contract as the creator-fee recipient.
The treasury has no private key. Collection and payouts run through restricted contract functions. Creator attribution does not grant ownership of everyone’s tokens or the ability to withdraw holder reserves.
Initially, ETH rewards use an ETH trading pair and USDG rewards use a USDG pair. The creator tax and selected reward policy are fixed for the launch. The creator receives no separate cash share of the redirected fees.
Break-even payouts
Uplift tracks recognized purchases, remaining quantities, and acquisition costs. A wallet must never have sold any of this token. Any sale permanently disqualifies it from future payouts, even if it buys again. Outgoing transfers also disqualify the wallet, preventing transfers from resetting entry history. Incoming transfers without a recognized purchase are excluded from the eligible basis.
An eligible purchase must be held for at least 15 minutes. A funded round uses a confirmed snapshot and a complete 15-minute price reference. Your eligible loss is:
Remaining recognized cost − reference value − previous funded rebates.
A negative result becomes zero. For shortfalls L₁…Lₙ and an available pool B, the funded pool is min(B, ΣL). Each wallet receives floor(funded pool × its shortfall ÷ ΣL). Rounding dust stays in the treasury. Shortfalls of 100 and 50 USDG divide a 30 USDG pool into 20 and 10 USDG. No wallet receives more than its shortfall or original investment.
The engine uses wallet-level supported onchain activity. It cannot know someone’s private trades, exchange positions, or all their other wallets. Planned mechanisms include treasury-funded dip purchases and automatic token buybacks with burns. Each requires its own versioned policy, execution limits, and contract validation. These mechanisms are not available for launch yet; existing tokens retain their selected rules.
Fee collection and allocation
The configurable creator tax and the creator’s share of the standard trading fee flow through PONS’s fee escrow into the coin’s treasury. PONS’s own deductions happen before Uplift applies its split.
For 1,000 USDG collected, 800 USDG goes to holder rewards, 150 USDG to operations, and 50 USDG to platform-token buybacks. The split is applied once to newly collected fees, not repeatedly to balances or funded awards.
Operations pay for hosting, chain access, and bounded automatic-payout gas. Small funded awards can accumulate until sending them is economical. Direct claims remain available. USDG recipients still need ETH for their own transactions.
Some PONS fees must be swept before they can be claimed. Post-graduation conversions can depend on PONS’s sweep operator. PONS also retains its own documented upstream administration and takeover powers.
Payout evidence
Every funded round publishes its reference snapshot, rule fingerprint, recipient amounts, and proof data. The treasury reserves those awards before further rounds use available funds.
A Merkle proof demonstrates inclusion in an allocation. It does not by itself prove that the price or loss calculation is correct. Uplift’s calculation publisher remains a trust assumption, bounded by contract permissions and public evidence.
Automatic payments are submitted in batches. A recipient that cannot receive a payment keeps its entitlement. A confirmed funded award is not canceled because a coin becomes inactive or the holder later sells. Existing claims should remain usable when the automation worker is unavailable.
Token URLs
Both uplift.cash/<launch-id> and uplift.cash/<token-address> work. A launch ID is reserved before signing, then permanently resolves to the token-address page once creation is confirmed.
If you provide a website, that website is stored for your coin. If you leave it blank, the permanent launch-ID URL becomes the coin’s onchain website link. Sharing inside Uplift uses the canonical token-address page after confirmation.
Preview mode
This preview lets you browse sample tokens, use a demo wallet, create a preview coin, simulate trades, calculate a reward round, inspect its proofs, and simulate a payment. All coins, prices, balances, contract addresses, and payments shown in preview mode are simulated.
The reward arithmetic, proofs, persistent data, and fee splits are real application code. Live creation and settlement remain disabled until the Robinhood integration, deployed contracts, and operating controls have been tested.
New preview purchases still follow the 15-minute holding rule. “Run preview round” calculates immediately using the preview’s current price; it does not assert that a live onchain observation window has been collected.
