Bitquery subsequently identified a related but possibly distinct cluster of 56 launches (about $15.5 million), and GoPlus Security separately flagged a second suspected rug factory routing over $9 million. No individuals have been publicly identified or charged, and neither Robinhood nor Pons V2 is alleged to have participated.","sections":[{"content":"Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026, as a permissionless Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2 blockchain built by Robinhood Markets, Inc., supporting tokenized real-world assets, DeFi products, AI-powered trading and memecoin activity. Because it is permissionless, third parties can deploy tokens without Robinhood's approval or verification. Within roughly 90 days it had accumulated about $1.5 billion in total value locked and an estimated $50 million in revenue.\n\nPons V2 is a third-party launchpad and the chain's dominant memecoin launch platform. One source reports that the Pons launchpad launched on Robinhood Chain on July 13, 2026, and that Pons V2 went live on August 4, 2026, introducing bonding-curve pricing with graduation into a locked Uniswap v4 pool. An anti-sniping mechanism taxes purchases in the first seconds after launch at 99%, decaying to zero over about five seconds, and creators may exempt up to 32 wallets from this tax, a feature described as meant to let legitimate teams bundle opening purchases. As of late September 2026, Pons V2 was reported to be unaudited, with reviews by SB Security, Dingbats and Pashov Audit Group still in progress. The tax-exemption feature was a documented design choice, not a zero-day vulnerability.","heading":"Background: Robinhood Chain and Pons V2","sources":[{"url":"https://robinhood.com/us/en/newsroom/robinhood-accelerates-global-expansion-robinhood-chain-mainnet-stock-tokens-agentic-trading/","name":"Robinhood Chain Mainnet Launch Announcement — Robinhood Newsroom","type":"official","credibility":1},{"url":"https://www.tradingview.com/news/coindar:a61fb7f1f094b:0-robinhood-launched-arbitrum-based-robinhood-chain-on-july-2nd/","name":"Robinhood Launched Arbitrum-Based Robinhood Chain on July 2nd — TradingView News","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.coingabbar.com/en/pons-launchpad-guide-understanding-token-launches","name":"Pons Launchpad Guide: V1 and V2 on Robinhood Chain","type":"other","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptoslate.com/robinhood-chains-1-5-billion-boom-is-attracting-memecoin-rug-factories/","name":"Robinhood Chain's $1.5 billion boom is attracting memecoin rug factories — CryptoSlate","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.coindesk.com/business/2026/07/01/robinhood-rolls-out-public-blockchain-as-it-expands-deeper-into-crypto","name":"CoinDesk: Robinhood rolls out public blockchain","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptonews.net/news/market/33233133/","name":"Pons V2 Goes Live on Robinhood Chain (CryptoNews)","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"low"},{"content":"According to allegations by pseudonymous researcher Wazz (@WazzCrypto), published September 27, 2026, the operation systematically exploited the Pons V2 tax-exemption feature. Per launch, operators allegedly designated 15 to 25 wallets as tax-exempt in the launch transaction and bought through them in the opening seconds, acquiring an alleged 82% to 86% of total supply while all other buyers faced the 99% tax. Wazz alleged networks of 70 to 200 wallets per launch collectively held over 70% of supply, and that a single transaction bought for all exempted wallets, emptying the bonding curve before public trading began.\n\nA single contract deployed on August 28, 2026 was alleged to have coordinated the bundled purchases; one account calls it unverified, another a commercial bundling contract that facilitated opening buys for 25 of the 53 launches. The operation was allegedly self-financing, with proceeds routed within seconds into wallets funding the next launch, and Wazz also identified \"fake launches\", misleading pre-launch campaigns run before actual contract addresses were revealed. Bitquery noted at least 467 additional wallet groups using similar Pons V2 tax-exemption bundling tactics, suggesting the abuse extends well beyond this ring. These remain allegations from on-chain analysis; no court or regulator has adjudicated them.","heading":"Alleged extraction mechanism: tax-exemption abuse","sources":[{"url":"https://www.theblock.co/news/defi/2026-09-27-onchain-analyst-links-18-4-million-in-robinhood-chain-memecoin-extractions-to-single-rug-pull-operation-416960","name":"Onchain analyst links $18.4 million in Robinhood Chain memecoin extractions to single rug-pull operation — The Block","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://www.cryptotimes.io/2026/09/28/analyst-exposes-18-43m-robinhood-chain-memecoin-rug-pull-ring/","name":"Analyst Exposes $18.43M Robinhood Chain Memecoin Rug Pull Ring — Crypto Times","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://cryptonews.net/news/security/33511324/","name":"Bitquery links 56 Robinhood Chain memecoin launches to $15.5M rug-pull operation — Cryptonews.net","type":"on_chain","credibility":2},{"url":"https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/pons-v2-exemptions-put-robinhood-103042949.html","name":"Pons V2 Exemptions Put Robinhood Chain Memecoins Under Scrutiny — Yahoo Finance","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://coincentral.com/inside-the-18-million-rug-pull-rocking-robinhood-chain","name":"Inside the $18 Million Rug Pull Rocking Robinhood Chain (CoinCentral)","type":"news_article","credibility":2},{"url":"https://blockonomi.com/robinhood-chain-hit-by-coordinated-18m-memecoin-fraud-operation","name":"Robinhood Chain Hit by Coordinated $18M Memecoin Fraud Operation (Blockonomi)","type":"news_article","credibility":2}],"severity":"critical"},{"content":"Wazz alleged that one coordinated operation ran at least 53 launches on Robinhood Chain between July 10 and September 21, 2026, extracting at least $18.43 million, which Wazz described as a floor. Two additional unlinked serial operations were reportedly identified but excluded from that figure. Launches were linked by direct on-chain fund flows (45), shared private keys signing funding batches (4) and common collector wallets (4). The largest alleged extractions were CRUMBS ($3.12 million, 92 wallets), LEGS ($2.9 million, 77 wallets) and PINK ($1.44 million, 125 wallets); other tokens named include DEED, DRAFT, WAIFU and VAULTS.\n\nThe Block reviewed the claims and confirmed a consistent sniping pattern on 10 of the listed launches (creators exempted specific wallets that then acquired 82% to 86% of supply), and independently traced a fund flow of 179.88 ETH swept from wallets tied to DRAFT to the wallet that funded DEED about 40 minutes before DEED went live. The remaining 43 launches have not been independently verified.

The described pattern: create tokens around trending narratives; distribute them to many newly created accounts with minimal history (4 to 11 transactions each); sell in stages via the PonsV2Helper contract and UniversalRouter; drain proceeds through local aggregators to a main address; and recycle funds into later launches.
