Pons charges a 0.0005 ETH launch fee and a fee on every trade. Trade fees are shared between the protocol, the token creator and optional meme token buybacks.

Pons is a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Version 2 launches sell tokens on a bonding curve and graduate them into locked Uniswap v4 pools, while version 1 launches trade directly in Uniswap v3 pools.

# Pons Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The total value paid by users to interact with Pons products, including token launches and swaps, is measured by Fees. The total economic value generated by Pons V1, Pons V2 Bonding Curve, and Pons V2 Graduated Pools is reflected by this metric. Fees are collected from launch activities and trading fees, and are subsequently distributed to the protocol, buyback mechanisms, creators, and liquidity pools. Fees are denominated in each chain's native asset or the quote asset of the pool, and are converted to USD.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `FeesSwept` events from `Curve` contracts, `PoolFeesSwept` and `PoolRegistered` events from `MemeHook` contracts, `TokenLaunched` events from `LaunchFactory`, `TokenFactory`, and `LegacyTokenFactory` contracts, and Uniswap V3 `Swap` events from pool contracts, covering Robinhood Chain
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds and asset metadata

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Pons V2 Bonding Curve fee extraction

- **Purpose**: Capture fees generated during the bonding curve phase of Pons V2
- **Logic**: `FeesSwept` events from `Curve` contracts are parsed. The `protocol_amount`, `buyback_amount`, and `creator_amount` fields are extracted. These fee components are summed to determine the total fees collected from the bonding curve
- **Key fields**: `protocol_amount`, `buyback_amount`, `creator_amount`

### Component B: Pons V2 Graduated Pools fee extraction

- **Purpose**: Capture fees generated from graduated pools in Pons V2
- **Logic**: `PoolFeesSwept` events from `MemeHook` contracts are parsed. The `protocol_amount`, `buyback_amount`, and `creator_amount` fields are extracted. These fee components are summed to determine the total fees collected from graduated pools
- **Key fields**: `protocol_amount`, `buyback_amount`, `creator_amount`

### Component C: Pons V1 swap fee calculation

- **Purpose**: Calculate swap fees generated on Pons V1 pools
- **Logic**: Uniswap V3 `Swap` events occurring on Pons V1 pools are identified. The total swap fee is calculated based on a fixed 1% fee rate applied to the pair asset volume. If the pair asset is paid into the pool, the fee is calculated as 1% of the pair amount; otherwise, the fee is adjusted to account for the fee-on-transfer calculation. The calculated fee is split into protocol, creator, and Uniswap shares using the pool's protocol share (30% for standard launches, 10% for legacy launches) and the Uniswap V3 pool's revenue split
- **Key fields**: `pair_amount`, `protocol_share`, `revenue_split`

### Component D: Token launch fee tracking

- **Purpose**: Capture flat fees paid by creators to launch new assets
- **Logic**: `TokenLaunched` events from `LaunchFactory`, `TokenFactory`, and `LegacyTokenFactory` contracts are parsed. A flat launch fee of 0.0005 native assets is applied to each launch event. This launch fee is allocated entirely to the protocol share
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`

### Component E: USD conversion and aggregation

- **Purpose**: Normalize fee amounts and convert them to USD
- **Logic**: The protocol, buyback, creator, and Uniswap fee components are combined across all products. Aggregated amounts are normalized by decimal precision using asset metadata, with a default of 18 decimals applied to the native asset. Normalized amounts are multiplied by end-of-day asset prices to convert them to USD. Values are aggregated daily using UTC day boundaries
