Presale factory
PresaleFactoryV2Deploys a separate presale with fixed terms. The target covers the full curve buyout plus the protocol fee; the creator prepays the launch fee.
Presale escrow
PresaleV2Holds ETH or the sale’s approved quote token—not in the creator’s wallet. Records each contribution, enforces caps, and locks funds when the target fills.
Pons launch contracts
Launch-and-buy router · launch factoryAnyone can finalize within 24 hours of filling. Pons creates the token, buys out the curve, and opens its Uniswap v4 pool in one transaction—or it all reverts.
If the launch succeeds
Claim your proportional token allocation. Any leftover quote is a separate claim.
If the launch never happens
Missed target or expired finalization window? Claim a refund, with no Pooled protocol fee.
Protocol fee vault
FeeVaultReceives 3% of the curve buyout on successful launches, already included in the funding target. Half is reserved for POOLED buybacks; the owner can withdraw only the protocol share, not the burn reserve.
Creator fee splitter
CreatorFeeSplitEach launch has a fixed splitter for Pons creator payouts. Anyone can trigger distribution: half to the creator’s chosen wallet, half directly to the vault’s burn reserve. This is not a 50% trading tax.
Buy & burn
Use the protocol’s ETH reserve to buy POOLED, earn the caller reward, and burn the rest.
What happens if a presale doesn’t launch?
If the funding target is missed, or no one successfully finalizes within 24 hours of filling, contributors can claim their recorded contribution back with no Pooled protocol fee. The creator separately reclaims the prepaid launch fee. Refunds require an onchain transaction; they are not sent automatically.
How do I receive my tokens after launch?
Claim them from the presale contract. Your allocation is proportional to your recorded contribution, and tokens always go to your contributing wallet—even if someone else triggers the token claim. Any leftover quote asset is claimed separately. Neither payout is automatic.
Can I withdraw before the target is reached?
V2 presales allow you to withdraw while funding is open. Contributions lock once the target is filled. Older V1 presales do not have this withdrawal flow. The presale page shows the actions supported by its contract.
Can a creator change the terms after creation?
Token metadata and funding terms are fixed when the presale is created. A scheduled V2 presale accepts contributions only after its opening time. Pons fee, gate, or economics changes can still cause finalization to revert; the refund deadline continues to apply.
Is POOLED the token I receive from a presale?
No. Each presale launches its own token. POOLED is the separate platform token launched on Pons; platform buybacks purchase and burn POOLED, not the individual presale tokens.
Are burns automatic or a guaranteed return?
Neither. A burn reserve can accumulate before POOLED graduates. Buybacks become available after its pool exists and the treasury binds it to the fee vault. Someone must then submit each eligible transaction. Burns do not guarantee token value, liquidity, or profit.
