Yes — once a Pons token leaves its bonding curve, its Uniswap pool sits in Pons’s locker for good. The locker addresses, the creator tax scanners miss, and how to check.
Short answer: yes, once the token has a pool. A Pons token starts on a bonding curve run by Pons’s factory. When about 4.2 ETH of buys have come in, the factory creates a Uniswap v4 pool and mints the pool position straight to Pons’s locker, and that locker has no function to take a position out or remove its liquidity — not for the creator, not for Pons. Tokens from Pons’s first version are locked the same way, in Uniswap V3 pools. What the lock doesn’t cover: a creator tax of up to 10% on every trade, which most scanners report as 0%, and the wallets the creator lets buy in the first second. Paste a Pons token’s address to see the lock, the tax and the creator:
Pons is the main token launchpad on Robinhood Chain, Robinhood’s own Ethereum layer 2, live since 1 July 2026. Every Pons token is created by Pons’s factory with a fixed supply of 1 billion, and the whole supply is minted to the token’s own bonding curve — not to the creator.
On the curve the price rises with every buy and falls with every sell, and anyone can do both. The creator gets no free allocation: to own the token, they buy it like everyone else. The first seconds are taxed against bots — a buy in the launch second pays up to 99%, and the tax falls to zero over 3 seconds — but the creator can name up to 32 wallets that don’t pay it.
When the curve has collected about 4.2 ETH, the token graduates. The factory takes the ETH and the remaining tokens, creates a Uniswap v4 pool run by Pons’s hook, and mints one full-range position directly to Pons’s locker. The tokens that can’t go into the pool without lowering its opening price — about 8% of the supply — are locked in the same locker for good.
We read the code of both Pons lockers. It is published on Sourcify and matches what runs on chain, and neither contract is an upgradeable proxy.
The hook can’t block selling either. It runs after each swap to take its fee and has no switch to stop a trade; it isn’t allowed to act before a swap or on liquidity at all. A pool’s fee terms are fixed when the pool is created, and Pons can change them only for future launches.

Two addresses that come up in searches are not Pons lockers. 0x73991a25c818bf1f1128deaab1492d45638de0d3 is Uniswap V3’s position manager on Robinhood Chain — the contract that issues every V3 position NFT, Pons or not, including the V1 ones. 0x8366a39cc670b4001a1121b8f6a443a643e40951 is Uniswap v4’s PoolManager, which holds the funds of every v4 pool on the chain. Seeing either one next to a pool tells you nothing about a lock; what matters is who owns the position.
A Pons token is a plain ERC-20 with a fixed supply of 1 billion and a burn function any holder can use on their own balance. It has no owner: no minting, no pausing, no blacklist, no tax. The “deployer” it records is information only and gives no rights. Every Pons V2 token has the same code — only the addresses built into it differ — so where our data source hasn’t analysed a fresh token yet, our check fills the contract rows from that code and names the source “Pons token code”.
0x7ed598bcef8bd9edd8c97a195c6d13f40801ec7e, Read contract → getLaunchedToken, and paste the token address. A real Pons token returns its own address and exists: true; anything else returns zeros. Our check asks the same question.phase 0 means the token is still on the curve and 2 means its pool exists and sits in the locker; the locker’s isLocked confirms it. Our check’s “Liquidity locked” line reads “Launch pool, permanently” or “Not in a pool yet — Pons bonding curve”.creatorTaxBps in the same answer is the creator tax in hundredths of a percent: 200 is 2%. Our check shows it in the Buy tax and Sell tax rows, with the 1% Pons fee beside it.curve. Open that address → Logs and look for SnipeTaxExempted: each one names a wallet that didn’t pay the anti-bot tax. Then see how much of the token those wallets hold.0x8366…0951, which holds the pool’s tokens, and the V2 locker with the tokens locked beside the pool. Our check labels both, so the wallets left are the ones to look at.STARSHIP launched on Pons on 1 October 2026 and reached a pool about an hour and a half later. On 2 October its pool held about $99,000, according to DexScreener. The launch position sits in the V2 locker with 8.16% of the supply locked beside it, and our check reads “Liquidity locked: Launch pool, permanently”. The creator set a 2% tax, so every buy and sell pays 2% to the creator plus Pons’s 1% fee — while the token contract itself charges nothing, which is what most scanners report. Two wallets were exempt from the anti-bot tax: the creator’s and the wallet that receives the creator’s fees. On 2 October the creator’s wallet held 0.04% of the supply.
Is Pons liquidity locked forever? For tokens that reached a pool, yes: neither Pons locker has an unlock date or an unlock function, and neither can be upgraded. A token still on its curve has no pool yet.
Can a Pons creator rug pull? Not by pulling the pool — that is impossible. But a creator can sell what their exempt wallets bought, and collects the creator tax and most of the Pons fee on every trade. Look at the tax, the exempt wallets and the holders.
Why does a scanner say “0% tax” or “liquidity not locked” for a Pons token? Scanners read the tax from the token contract, and Pons charges it in the pool. They also recognise a fixed list of lockers — UNCX, Team Finance, PinkLock — and Pons’s aren’t on it; for v4 pools they often see no pool at all. Our check asks Pons’s factory and locker directly.
Is 0x73991a25… the Pons locker? No. It is Uniswap V3’s position manager on Robinhood Chain. The Pons lockers are 0x736d…7f35 for V1 and 0x2674…4952 for V2.
Is every new token on Robinhood Chain a Pons token? No. Doppler launches more tokens there — 1,000 to 5,500 a day, most of them paired with Robinhood’s stock tokens. If Pons’s factory returns zeros for a token, it may be a Doppler token: its owner is Doppler’s Airlock and its pool is locked for good too — see Doppler tokens: owner and liquidity lock.
Who gets the fees? The creator tax goes to the creator. Of Pons’s 1% fee, 30% goes to Pons and 70% to the creator’s side; a creator can route part of it into buying the token back, locked for five years. None of it comes out of the pool’s liquidity.
Does a locked pool make a Pons token safe? No. It means the pool can’t vanish in one transaction. The tax, who bought first and who holds the supply decide the rest.
