Understand the flow.

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.

Top Blast, the first reward mode, directs fees toward holders who are below entry and have never sold or transferred tokens out. 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.

Top Blast mode

Don't get punished for top blasting. Token fees fund payouts to eligible holders whose positions are at a loss, weighted by their remaining shortfall after previous funded payouts. Payments stop at break-even and depend on available fees.

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. A burn (a transfer to the zero or 0x…dEaD address) reaches no holder, so it only shrinks the position: remaining entry cost and prior payouts scale down with the burned share, and the wallet stays eligible on what it still holds. Incoming transfers without a recognized purchase are excluded from the eligible basis, and so are purchases filled by pools or routes outside PONS, which pay no creator tax to the treasury and cannot be verified as entries. When a router fills part of a purchase outside the official pool, the whole purchase is recognized but only the part paid through the official pool counts as cost.

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. The live calculation uses the higher of spot price and the 15-minute average. 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.

Upcoming reward modes

• Dip Support: use token fees to automatically buy dips on the token's chart.
• Buy & Burn: buy back and burn tokens to reduce supply.
• Holder Payouts: distribute rewards to holders based on their holdings, whether their positions are up or down.

All three modes are coming soon and cannot be selected yet. Each requires its own versioned policy, execution limits, and contract validation. Existing tokens retain the rules selected at launch.

Fee collection and allocation

Creator tax is added to PONS’ standard trading fee, currently 1%. Stock pairs also add a 1% stock-pair fee. With the recommended 5% creator tax, that is 7% combined on buys and sells for stock pairs, or 6% for other pairs such as $UP’s ETH pair. The stock fee follows the trading pair, regardless of which currency holders receive as rewards.

The 1% standard fee has its own PONS allocation, including a creator share. The full combined trading fee does not enter Uplift’s treasury; the stock-pair fee is separate from the creator tax and Uplift’s reward allocation. PONS’ temporary launch protection can add an early-buy fee; gas and slippage are separate.

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.

Active tokens are checked for fee collection every 15 minutes. When no new token activity is recorded, collection checks back off to every six hours. New activity brings the next check forward. The treasury card shows the next fee sweep or its current queue status. Collection and payout checks have separate timers; a check does not guarantee a transaction or payment.

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.

$UP buyback activation

Every launch allocates 5% of its collected creator fees and tax to $UP buybacks. The buyback route has a 48-hour activation window, measured from the onchain scheduling transaction. It does not start when someone opens this page or when a token is launched.

Allocations accumulate during this window. Once it ends, purchases still depend on available funds, liquidity, price checks and execution limits. An expired timer is not evidence that a purchase happened. Completed buybacks appear with transaction evidence on the $UP page.

The pooled balance shows ETH and USDG currently in the buyback reserve and vault at the same block, with a current USD estimate. It refreshes automatically. Fees still in individual token treasuries are included when they reach the reserve. The reserve is deployed before any token treasury sends funds to it.

Once the platform token and its buyback vault are deployed, configuring the reserve starts a separate 12-hour routing correction window. Funds stay in the reserve until that window closes. Before configuration and during that window, the administrator can correct the vault route or recover reserve funds. The 48-hour buyback activation timer is separate.

Purchases are sized in USD between a $100 minimum and a $1,000 maximum per transaction at the checked USD price, with additional price headroom: a steady bid on private, randomized timing, scaled up while $UP trades below its recent reference, and larger buys as a dip deepens. Actual orders can be smaller. Fresh prices, a rolling price reference, slippage and price-impact limits and configured execution checks must all pass before a purchase. These controls reduce exposure but cannot eliminate front-running or price manipulation.

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. An award is not canceled simply because a coin becomes inactive or the holder later sells. Generation 4 has a 10-minute wait after funding, during which the guardian can cancel an incorrect round and return its funds to the treasury. Existing claims should remain usable when the automation worker is unavailable.

Check a wallet to see its verified entry cost, current token value, completed rewards and remaining recovery gap. Pending awards are separate. Recovery can change with price and is not a guaranteed sale value.

The next-round estimate divides the lesser of the available holder treasury and total eligible shortfall proportionally between qualifying wallets. Price, balances and fees can change before funding. An estimate is hidden when its snapshot is unavailable or a round is pending.

Round proof pages include recorded event timelines and shareable receipt images. Current recovery counts distinguish entry covered by token value from entry covered with completed payments; they are not lifetime achievements.

Platform status shows indexing, processing, pricing and payout checks, updated every 30 seconds while visible.

Treasury permissions

Generation 3 and generation 4 launches have dedicated treasuries with a 12-hour correction window starting at treasury creation. During that window, the recovery administrator can repair metadata binding, correct fee destinations and payout permissions, recover unallocated funds, or install reviewed compatible treasury code. The fee-recipient address stays the same.

This administrator is trusted during the window. The supplied contracts close their repair entry points at the fixed deadline, but arbitrary administrator-installed code could introduce other permissions. The worker verifies reviewed code and destinations before sending treasury transactions. An unexpected change stops those transactions pending review.

The supplied recovery function preserves funded holder claims and reports administrative withdrawals separately from rewards. The treasury address, administrator, deadline, last verification and any recovery are shown on the token page and public API. This correction window is separate from generation 4’s 10-minute wait between round funding and claims. $UP uses its existing generation 3 treasury and does not inherit that generation 4 wait.

Generation 4 also supports registry role updates: publisher, operations and buyback destinations have a 24-hour announcement delay; guardian rotation is immediate. After 90 days without fee collection or round funding, unallocated holder funds can move to the buyback allocation. Funded claims are preserved.

Public platform addresses

Robinhood Chain · chain ID 4663. These are the configured production addresses. Explorer links show their onchain activity. Each launch has a separate holder treasury, shown on its token page.

Token URLs

New launches receive an eight-digit URL such as uplift.cash/12345678. Existing launch-ID links and uplift.cash/<token-address> work. The numeric URL 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 eight-digit URL becomes the coin’s onchain website link. Sharing inside Uplift uses the canonical token-address page after confirmation.

Open Creator kit beside your token’s social links to download announcement artwork, a launch sheet, or your token image. The kit uses your uploaded artwork and recorded launch fees. Choose a day or night design, edit the suggested announcement, and copy your token link. Nothing is posted automatically.
