Six wallets are tied for #1 on Basis right now for joining the waitlist before Basis launched. 300 points per $1 of Basis fees until 14 Dec. That’s 3x. Your referrals’ fees count too. 55 days left.

Robinhood Chain traded 16% less in the 12 hours to 11:30 AM ET than it did the Monday before. 22% fewer wallets. The share of new launches still trading an hour in didn't move at all. 5.2% today. 5.4% last Monday. 5.3% the Monday before. Busy chain or quiet chain, about 1 launch in 20 makes it to hour two. The crowd changes. The odds don't. So size every fresh launch like it's the other 19, and let hour two earn the bigger bag. Data, not advice.

Nearly half of this week's Robinhood Chain graduations happened inside 15 minutes of launch. 59 of 122, by Basis's count. 8 more graduated overnight, 4 of them inside 15 minutes. The fast ones read differently on the checks. Median Bundled: 10%, against 1% for the ones that took longer. A tenth of the supply bought in the launch transaction itself. "Graduated" tells you the curve filled. It doesn't tell you who filled it. On a fresh graduate, read Bundled first. Data, not advice.

The launches snipers hit are the ones that live. Every launch on Robinhood Chain in the 24 hours to 20:37 UTC today, split by Basis's Sniped check, and still trading an hour later: 10%+ of supply sniped: 57 of 130. 44%. Under 5% sniped: 250 of 4,101. 6%. Snipers aren't random. Their bots find the launches people want before people do, and then the real buyers buy from them. So the Basis launchpad taxes the first 3 seconds: 98%, then 50%, then 25%. The tax is locked forever and paid to no one, us included. The creator's own first buy is untaxed, up to 10% of supply. Early buyers and the wallets that funded them are shown publicly. Creators get 80% of the 1% trade fee. Trading a launch that's still busy? Read the Sniped cell first. That's supply bought in the first seconds, and it can be sold into your buy. Data, not advice.

Robinhood Chain was 53% of Uniswap's record September revenue. About $7.8M of roughly $14.7M, per Token Terminal data reported by Crypto Briefing on 17 Oct. Same report: Uniswap's average fee capture on Robinhood Chain was 0.465% a trade, against 0.214% across all its deployments. Swaps here pay Uniswap more than twice its average rate. The other headline this month was a slowdown: daily transactions down about 40% from mid-September to early October. So we checked this Sunday morning against last Sunday morning. Every trade and launch Basis indexed, 04:30 to 16:30 UTC: Trades: 419,556 (last Sunday 398,732) Wallets: 62,499 (64,318) Launches: 2,427 (2,503) Flat week on week. Trades up 5%, wallets and launches down 3%. And the part that never changes: of 2,106 launches at least an hour old, 136 still had a trade after the hour mark. Data, not advice. Every launch, with its checks, live: basisdex.com

Is Robinhood Chain dead? We pulled every trade from yesterday (17 Oct, UTC) to check. 925,548 trades 108,785 wallets 5,232 new tokens Not dead. But here's the part nobody posts: Of those 5,232 launches > 3,784 traded at all > 540 were still trading an hour later > 5 graduated The median new token got 1 trade. One. What that means if you trade launches: 1. The first hour is everything. 86% of yesterday's tokens that traded at all were done inside it. If it's quiet at the 60 minute mark, move on. 2. Check the dev wallet before you click buy. On 45% of the ones we could read, the dev had already moved tokens out of their wallet. 3. Snipers are real. 127 new launches had 20%+ of supply bought in the first blocks. That's supply someone grabbed before you could. 4. Size small on fresh launches. Size up on the ones still standing after hour one. Different game entirely. The chain isn't dead. It's brutal. 5 out of 5,232. All of this is live on every token on basisdex.com before you buy.
