Launching and trading tokens on pools.trade

Pools.trade is a token launchpad built by Uniswap Labs for Robinhood Chain. It gives you a single interface to launch a token, discover new ones, and trade them end to end.

Every token launched on Pools starts with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and ends in a Uniswap v4 pool with permanently locked liquidity. LP fees autocompound back into the locked position.

How to launch a token

  1. Go to pools.trade and connect your wallet.
  2. Choose your launch type:
    • Instant Launch: Your token is live and tradable the moment you create it. Price climbs along a classic bonding curve as people buy — no minimum raise or graduation requirement.
    • Crowd Launch: Your token launches over a four-hour bidding window using time-weighted (TWAP) mechanics. The token becomes tradable only if the launch reaches a $10k FDV; otherwise all bids are refunded.
  3. Add an image, ticker symbol, and description.
    Note: These details can't be changed after creation.
  4. Optionally, enable a creator fee to receive 0.05% of the 0.25% LP fee on trades. The rest autocompounds into locked liquidity. By default, these funds go to your wallet, but you can change the wallet address if you wish.
  5. Select Launch and confirm the transaction in your wallet, which has a network cost.

There are no added launchpad fees. Each pool is a standard Uniswap pool with a 0.25% LP fee.

How to participate in a Crowd Launch

  1. Browse live Crowd Launches on pools.trade or in Uniswap Launches.
  2. Open the launch and place a bid for the budget you want to spend.
  3. Your bid fills gradually over the remainder of the four-hour window. Price moves with demand, so earlier bids get better prices, and every budget fills in full by the end of the window.
  4. When the window closes:
    • If the launch reaches $10k FDV, the token graduates into a Uniswap v4 pool and you can claim your tokens.
    • If it falls short, the launch fails and all bids are refunded. You will need to claim your refund.

How to claim tokens

Tokens from a Crowd Launch are claimed after the launch ends:

  1. Wait for the full four-hour launch window to close and the launch to graduate.
  2. Find the token on your Portfolio page or return to the launch page on pools.trade with the same wallet you bid from.
  3. Select Claim and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Note: Instant Launch tokens don't require claiming. They're immediately visible in your wallet when you buy, and you can swap in and out anytime.

I didn't receive my tokens or my refund

If an auction ended and you don't see your tokens or your refunded bid, work through these steps:

  1. Confirm the launch outcome. Check the launch page to see whether it graduated ($10k FDV reached) or failed.
    A graduated launch pays out tokens you must claim; a failed launch refunds your bid instead. You won't receive both.
  2. Claim manually. Neither tokens nor refunds are automatic. Go to the Portfolio page of the wallet you bid from, find the token, and select Claim.
  3. Check the right wallet and network. Make sure you're connected with the same wallet address you bid from, and that your wallet is set to Robinhood Chain.
  4. Import the token. Some wallets don't display new tokens automatically. Add the token manually using its contract address from the launch page.
  5. Allow time for settlement. Claims and refunds are onchain transactions and can take a short time to confirm during periods of high network activity.

If none of these resolve it, contact support with your wallet address, the token/launch link, and the transaction hash of your bid so the team can investigate.
