Ownerless

Fair starts. Same first price for everyone. Before the bots. Before the snipers. Before the bundles. That's Ownerless. We built a launchpad on Robinhood Chain where every coin opens with a countdown, and everyone who shows up buys the start together, at one price. Projects meet the people who came for them, not the bots that came for the first block. Here's how it works: 1. Everyone buys the start together. Every coin opens with a countdown (5 minutes by default). During it, anyone can join the coin's launch basket: one entry per account, up to $10 by default. At zero, one transaction launches the coin and buys it for the whole basket. Nobody can trade in between. Everyone in the basket pays the same price, and the tokens are shared in proportion to each entry. Bots can still buy, but only after the basket. The money waits in the basket contract, never with us. You can take your entry back until the last 60 seconds. If the launch doesn't happen, everyone takes theirs back. Pons labels the basket's buy "Dev", because our launcher makes it in the launch transaction. It's the public basket, paid out to everyone who joined. 2. Nobody owns the coin. Every coin is created by one launcher contract, through Pons. In the same transaction, the coin's creator seat goes to the coin's own burner contract. No dev wallet, no dev buy. Nobody is paid as the creator: not the person who pressed Launch, not us. The creator can join the basket like anyone else, with one entry. 3. Every trade feeds the burn. Every trade on a Pons coin pays 1%, on every app. 0.70% of it is the creator side. Here there's no dev to pay, so it goes to the coin's burner contract: • 50% buys back the coin and burns it • 30% buys back $OWNERLESS and burns it • 20% runs Ownerless Per $100 traded: $0.35 burns the coin, $0.21 burns $OWNERLESS, $0.14 runs Ownerless, $0.30 goes to Pons. Ownerless, Pons, fomo: whichever app the trade happens on, the fee lands in the same contract. 4. Burns with no ceiling. Every 20 to 30 minutes, at a moment nobody can know in advance, each coin spends its whole bucket on a buyback. No cap, no daily limit. A coin that trades $1M sends $3,500 into buybacks of itself, and all of it burns. The burner has no owner and no withdraw function. Its money can only leave as a buyback, and every token bought goes straight to 0xdEaD. Nobody can change a coin's split after launch, us included. Every burn is on the coin's page with its on-chain receipt. 5. No copy rush. While a coin waits to launch and for 24 hours after, its ticker, name, image, X profile and website can't go on another coin here. Neither can copies of them: OFFICIAL, V2, look-alike letters. After that, they're free again. Derivatives are coins of their own. BABYDOGE and DOGEINU can launch the same day as a DOGE. That protection is for coins launched here. A token that trades elsewhere doesn't hold its name on Ownerless. Sign in with X and your coin's X link is verified and written on chain with the coin. 6. Zero friction. Sign in with email, Google, X or a wallet. No seed phrase, no gas token to hunt for: we cover the gas, and a buy or a sell is one press. Pair a coin with USDG or ETH. Either way, you pay and get paid in dollars. Launching is free, and you can launch as many coins as you like. Every coin is a plain Pons token. No tax, no blacklist, no sell limits. Sell whenever you want, on any app. 7. How Ownerless pays for itself. We don't sell launches or allocations. We earn two ways, both from trading: • the 20% of the creator side above, from every app • a 0.25% app fee on trades made on Ownerless. Half of it goes to whoever referred the trader, for life. So we only do well when coins keep trading. Same start. Same price. For everyone who shows up. ownerless.fun How it works: ownerless.fun/how-it-works

Holding feels different from how it did a few years ago. I’ve been in this market for more than five years, and I understand why people have become quicker to leave. You watch enough launches lose their momentum overnight, and eventually you start protecting yourself before you even know whether you need to. Take the profit. Avoid the next disappointment. Find something else. I’ve felt that too. That’s why I don’t think asking people to have stronger hands gets us very far. People need reasons to feel comfortable staying involved, and those reasons have to survive a quiet chart. Can they see what the team is doing? Do they understand how the project works? Are questions being answered? Does anything continue happening when fewer people are watching? Those are things we can actually work on. With Ownerless, I want someone who comes back after a few days to find something they can understand and check. The launch mechanism. Where the creator fees go. The burns those fees fund. The work we’re doing to make participation easier. None of that gives me the right to tell someone what to do with their money. Someone leaving doesn’t erase the support they gave us while they were here. But I do believe consistency can slowly change how people feel. If we want stronger communities around robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 and the projects launched on its platform, we have to make staying interested worthwhile. People should be able to follow progress without needing a green candle to prove that the team is still present. That responsibility starts with us. I’m grateful to everyone who continues following $OWNERLESS. I want to keep giving you something worth following.

There’s something I’d like to see more of on Robinhood Chain. People taking the time to look at small projects before those projects have already become obvious. I see enthusiasm for the chain, and I understand it. I’m building here because I see an opportunity too. But I would like to see more of that interest reach the teams launching on @ponsdotfamily. Open the platform. Try what they’ve built. Ask where the fees go. Look at how the launch works. Come back a week later and see whether anything has improved. That kind of attention can mean a lot to a small team. A project with a tiny community has a difficult problem. It needs users to show what its product can do, but people often wait for visible success before becoming users. You can keep building through that, and you should. Still, getting someone independent to explain the work can help people make their own judgment. I’d welcome that for Ownerless. Try the launch basket. Follow the burn transactions. Tell us which part is confusing. If something deserves criticism, explain it. If something works well, explain that too. Someone who holds a position or has a paid arrangement should be open about it. Readers deserve to understand the relationship behind the opinion. I think this is how a stronger community around robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 can develop: people becoming interested in the work happening across the ecosystem, including work outside their own bags. Every project still has to earn its place. But earning that place becomes possible when someone is willing to look. If you create content about Robinhood Chain, I’d love to see more of that curiosity reach the smaller builders here.

Launching a coin on Ownerless costs you $0. We pay the pons launch fee and the gas. Nothing to sign, no dev wallet. Name it, pick a ticker, press Launch. Part of every trade's fee buys it back and burns it on Robinhood Chain. ownerless.fun/create

I think a strong $VRAX run could do a lot for Robinhood Chain right now. From what I’m seeing, the community is paying close attention to it. There’s a sense that if Vrax starts moving, people might look at the whole ecosystem with fresh interest. I understand why. Sometimes people need one project to give them a reason to explore a chain again. They follow the activity, discover the launchpad, and start looking at what else is being built. That’s also why even a brief mention from @vladtenev carries weight. It gets people talking and gives them something to follow. I think that visibility can help, especially when the market feels quiet. What interests me most is how far that attention could travel. I’m building Ownerless on Pons, so I have a reason to care about what happens beyond our own project. If Vrax brings new people here, that creates an opportunity for us and other builders to show them something worth exploring. We still have to earn their interest. A strong runner can get people through the door. The projects they discover afterward can give them reasons to stay. That’s why I’d like to see $VRAX do well. I believe its momentum could mean something for the wider $PONS ecosystem too. What do you think would help turn attention around Vrax into lasting activity across Robinhood Chain?

Vlad, you’ve spoken about keeping Robinhood Chain neutral and doing more to support builders. I think that needs to include a transparent way for small teams to get their work evaluated. We built Ownerless on Pons: no dev allocation, a shared opening price for launch-basket participants, and creator fees funding buybacks and burns. What would Ownerless need to demonstrate to earn a product review from your team, and can those criteria be public so other small builders have the same opportunity?

I’m building Ownerless on Pons, so I’m curious about your take: if Vrax brings new people to the chain, do you think they’ll naturally explore smaller projects too, or does that need a more active effort from the community?

How early should Robinhood get involved in helping people discover projects on its own chain? Once a project is already huge, discovery has largely happened. I think the harder question is how promising teams earn a look while they’re still small.

Imagine spending time on an idea, preparing the launch and getting the first people interested. Then several coins appear with almost the same name and image. Now the conversation changes. People are asking which link is correct, whether the team launched another token, and why the same project seems to have several charts. The first few hours become harder than they needed to be. Even when people eventually find the right coin, some of the attention has already been lost. Others may have decided the whole thing was too confusing to bother with. That’s why we added copy protection on Ownerless. While a coin is waiting to launch and for 24 hours afterward, its identity is protected against duplicate launches on our platform. That includes its name, ticker and other identifying details. The protection applies within Ownerless. I think that short window matters. A new community needs time to establish where it is gathering. People need a clear link to share and a clear idea of what they are joining. There will always be new interpretations of an idea. Memes develop that way, and people should have room to create. But the opening of a project should give its first supporters a reasonable chance to find one another. This is one of the smaller details behind Ownerless that I care about. We’re building on robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571, and part of our job is to look closely at the problems people encounter around a launch. Sometimes improving that experience starts with something as simple as reducing confusion. A community already has enough work ahead of it.

I’ve been paying attention to the graduated section on Pons lately. It feels quieter. So I wanted to look beyond that feeling. Crius’s Pons V2 history recorded 153 graduations between October 7 and 13, compared with 73 between October 29 and November 4. New launches also fell, from 15,362 to 7,576 across those same periods. Both numbers roughly halved. Source: Crius’s daily Pons data. To me, the important part is that fewer projects are reaching graduation while fewer people are launching in the first place. The slowdown reaches further than the graduated tab. I think confidence has a lot to do with this. When people discover a project, follow it for a few days and see the community still growing, they become more willing to explore another one. They tell a friend. Someone who was watching decides to participate. A builder sees that there are people here who might care about their idea. When launches disappear quickly, that process can move in the other direction. People become more cautious. Builders struggle to find an audience. The next launch starts with even less attention. That’s why I keep coming back to runners. A runner gives people a reason to look around. It shows them that something can begin here and keep going. For Ownerless, I think our contribution has to start with giving launches a better chance to build that first community. A shared opening, clear rules and fees that continue supporting the coin and $OWNERLESS as people trade. There’s still plenty for us to prove. But I believe helping good launches find their first real supporters would do a lot for @ponsdotfamily and robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 . That’s the part I want us to work on.

$OWNERLESS just passed 8% burned. 80,663,003 $OWNERLESS now sits at 0x…dEaD: 8.06% of the supply, across 198 buybacks, every one paid for with trading fees on Robinhood Chain. ownerless.fun/burns

186 receipts. One address. No way back. 77,748,636 $OWNERLESS now sits at 0x…dEaD: 7.77% of the supply, every token bought back with trading fees and burned on Robinhood Chain. Nov 2 alone burned 1.19% of the supply. ownerless.fun/burns

I’d start with a simple hook: no dev allocation, a shared launch, and fees that buy back and burn. Then show it in action. A short walkthrough from countdown to first trade would make the idea much easier to understand. Get a few respected people in the Pons community to try it and share their honest experience. From there, spotlight individual launches, their communities, and verifiable burns. Give people something concrete to follow and participate in. The mechanics get their attention; a good experience gives them a reason to bring others.

Every launchpad lives or dies by one thing: runners. Not how many coins it launches. Not how much volume it does in one afternoon. Runners. The coins that keep going after everyone expected them to stop. The ones that pull new people in and make a whole chain feel alive again. Without them, a launchpad is just a factory turning out tickers nobody remembers. Pons has had a hard stretch. The pullback was deep, and I won’t pretend it wasn’t. But I’ve been in this market for more than five years, and I’ve learned to tell a place that’s dying from a place that’s resetting. To me, this looks like the second one. While the price was falling, something kept happening underneath. Pons has burned 32% of its supply. That wasn’t promised. It was burned. Trade after trade, through the loud weeks and the quiet ones, PONS kept being bought back and taken out of circulation. That matters more than people think. When the market turns, it turns on a much smaller supply than the one it fell from. I believe the next run can be far sharper than the last one. But a burn is an engine, and an engine needs fuel. For Pons, that fuel is the same thing every launchpad needs: runners. That’s where I think Ownerless comes in. Every coin launched on Ownerless is born on Pons. Every trade on it feeds the same fees that buy back and burn PONS. So every runner we produce is a Pons runner too. And Ownerless is built to make runners, not to burn them out in the first minute. No dev wallet. No opening buy. Nobody sits on a bag from block one, waiting to sell on the people who came after. A fair start. Every launch opens with a countdown and a shared basket, so real people get in together instead of losing the first seconds to snipers and bots. And a burn that never stops. 50% of every coin’s fees buys back and burns that coin. 30% buys back and burns $OWNERLESS. 20% keeps the platform running. We took the idea Pons proved and pushed it harder. Half of every coin’s fees goes back into burning that same coin. Every launch, big or small, keeps feeding $OWNERLESS. No coin lives and dies alone. Think about what that means for robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 . One runner can wake up a chain for a week. A platform built to produce many of them, launch after launch, with fair starts and supply that keeps shrinking, can do a lot more than that. I’m not asking anyone to believe a chart. Charts lie all the time. I’m asking you to look at how it works. Pons burns. Ownerless burns. Ownerless coins trade on Pons. Every good launch here pushes both in the same direction. I think we’re closer to the turn than most people feel right now. When it comes, the launchpads with runners will lead it. I want Ownerless to be where those runners come from.

Nearly a third of robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 has been burned. $OWNERLESS has only just started. First, credit where it's due. The team at pons (@ponsdotfamily) has been buying back and burning robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 since July. Today more than 32% of the supply sits at the dead address: over 328.8M of 1B robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 at 0x…dEaD, where nobody can ever move them. The engine is simple. By its own docs, pons puts 80% of its protocol fees into buying robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 and sending it to the burn address. The burn passed 30% of supply on Sep 8 and kept going. Today those burns land every few minutes, around the clock. That's what steady work on-chain looks like. Respect. Now, ours. $OWNERLESS made its first burn on Oct 28. By 14:00 UTC on Nov 2, under five days later, 6.7% of its supply was sitting at that same address: 67,089,372 $OWNERLESS, across 172 burns. Each of those 172 is a buyback made by a contract and paid for with trading fees, and each has its own receipt on Robinhood Chain. HOW OWNERLESS WORKS Ownerless is a launchpad on Robinhood Chain, built on pons. Every coin is a plain pons token. On pons, a coin's creator collects its creator fees. Here, each coin's creator seat belongs to its burner contract, so nobody is paid as its creator: not the person who launched it, and not us. Coins launched here also start with no dev wallet and no dev buy. Every trade pays pons a 1% fee. Of that, 0.30% stays with pons. The other 0.70% is the creator's share, and here a contract splits it: • 0.35% of every trade buys the coin back and burns it • 0.21% buys $OWNERLESS and burns it • 0.14% runs the site That's 50 / 30 / 20 of the creator's share. The split is fixed in our contracts when a coin launches or joins, and nothing in them can change it afterwards. Trades made in the Ownerless app also pay a 0.25% app fee; the same coins traded on other apps pay only pons's 1%. The fees collect in two buckets per coin, one for the coin and one for $OWNERLESS. Nobody presses a button and nobody picks the moment: each coin burns at a time drawn at random, never sooner than 20 minutes after its last burn. Nothing caps a burn either. When its moment comes, the whole bucket is spent, however much the coin traded. ONE TRADE, THREE BURNS Follow a single trade of a coin on Ownerless: 1. Part of its fee burns the coin itself. 2. Part of it burns $OWNERLESS. 3. The 0.30% goes to pons, which puts 80% of its protocol fees into the robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 burn. Like any pons coin, every coin traded here adds to the robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 burn, through the share pons keeps. $OWNERLESS's own trading fees buy it back and burn it. Since Nov 1 there's a second source: another coin on Ownerless now spends part of its fees on $OWNERLESS and burns it. 15 of the 172 burns came from it. Every coin that trades here feeds the same address. Trading is the only fuel: more trades in these coins, on any app, mean more fees, and more fees mean more burns. WHERE IT STANDS Under five days. 172 receipts. One address. It's a small spark, and few have noticed it yet. We're at the very beginning. Every receipt: ownerless.fun/burns The robinhood:0x39dbed3a2bd333467115de45665cc57f813c4571 burn, by pons: ponsfamily.com/analytics Burns take tokens out of circulation. They are not a promise about price, ours or anyone's. Memecoins are volatile and can lose all their value.

A launch shouldn't start with one wallet holding 13% of the supply. The default basket on Ownerless spreads it over 50 wallets, ~0.27% each, all at one price, bought in the launch transaction before anyone else can trade. No dev wallet. ownerless.fun

Every launch on Ownerless starts with a countdown: 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes. So we made a game for the wait. Last Nobody: a free battle royale on one sheet of paper. You vs 39 bots, right in your browser. Play → ownerless.fun/play Then post your end screen below 👇
