How FundPad works
and what it cannot do
The short version
- A supporter finds a fundraiser they want to back, and pastes its link. They need no permission and no account on the fundraising platform.
- They launch a coin for it. The fee recipient is derived from the fundraiser, so the person launching cannot point it at themselves.
- Every trade pays the creator tax into the Pons v2 fee escrow, credited to the cause's vault, or to a verified wallet if the cause has one.
- The organizer verifies the fundraiser is theirs, whenever they like, and claims what has accrued.
How linking works
The code is FP- followed by twelve characters worked out from two things: the fundraiser's own id on its platform and the wallet being claimed for. Change either and the code changes.
Only someone who can edit the fundraiser can put the code on its page, so finding it there shows the organizer chose that wallet. Nobody has to post a wallet address on the fundraising platform, which matters because personal fundraisers there are generally not allowed to take crypto.
FundPad reads the story again whenever a fundraiser is shown. If the code is gone, the fundraiser is marked "Code missing" and new launches and redirects stop. Coins that already pay the wallet keep paying it, because that is written on chain.
To change which wallet new coins pay, verify again with the new one and replace the code. Coins already pointing at the old wallet keep paying it.
That does not move what is already held. A cause's vault names one wallet, once, and after it binds there is no way to point it at another: not by you, not by FundPad. Choose a wallet you will still control in years, and one that can receive ETH.
Which fundraising platforms work
FundPad is built so that a fundraising platform is a thing it reads, rather than the product it is. That is an argument about code. What it can actually read is a shorter list, and these three states are kept apart on purpose.
A link from a platform that is not supported is refused when you paste it, and nothing is saved. If your fundraiser is on one of the researched platforms, the honest answer today is that FundPad cannot verify it yet.
Where the money goes
A Pons v2 coin charges a creator tax on every buy and sell, set at launch between 0% and 10%. It is paid to the coin's fee recipient, which FundPad sets to an address derived from the fundraiser itself. Pons keeps its own separate trading fee.
The tax is credited to that address in the Pons v2 fee escrow (0xd3AF…Ac9e). Only that address can claim what is credited to it. FundPad never holds it and cannot move it: what FundPad decides, once and in public, is which wallet the cause's vault may release it to.
Two things you should know about where future fees go. A coin that pays a wallet directly can have that role handed on by that wallet; a coin that pays a cause's vault cannot, because a vault has no function to hand it on. And the Pons protocol owner holds a standing power to change any launch's fee recipient after a three-day public timelock, which the recipient cannot veto and FundPad cannot prevent. So the routing is enforced by the contract, not guaranteed forever by it.
None of this goes through the fundraising platform, so it does not show in the fundraiser's "raised" total there, and FundPad never adds the two together. Organizers are responsible for using it for the cause, as they are for any money raised for it.
Risks
The Pons owner can change a recipient. The Pons v2 contracts give the protocol owner a standing power to replace any launch's fee recipient after a public three-day timelock. The recipient cannot veto it. FundPad cannot prevent this.
FundPad decides who is paid. One FundPad key signs the statement that names the wallet a cause's vault releases to. It cannot move a coin of the money and cannot do it quietly: the naming is published, the named wallet has to answer on chain for itself, and a public waiting period runs in which a guardian, or anyone who launched a coin for that cause, can object. Objecting is capped, though: a guardian can hold a naming up for about two weeks and cannot prevent one indefinitely. So if that key were stolen, the thief could outlast every objection and name a wallet of their own. A stolen signing key is the worst thing that can happen to FundPad, and the honest answer is that vigilance buys time rather than safety.
A wallet that is paid directly can pass that on. Where a coin pays a verified wallet rather than a vault, that wallet can hand the role to any other address. A vault cannot: it has no function to do it.
Coins are risky. A coin can lose all of its value, and a fundraiser can raise nothing if nobody trades it. Nothing on FundPad is financial advice.
The fundraising platform's rules. FundPad is independent of every platform it reads. Organizers should not ask for crypto on their fundraiser page; the link code is designed so they never need to.
Questions
Yes. That is the product. What you cannot do is choose where the fees go: the fee recipient is derived from the fundraiser itself, so a coin can only ever pay the cause it was launched for. That is what stops anyone from launching "for" a fundraiser and keeping the fees.
Yes. Launching a coin is a transaction you sign and pay the gas for, so it needs a wallet you already control. FundPad has no accounts, no email sign-in and no password: there is nothing to recover, because there is nothing held on your behalf.
Press Connect and choose MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, or anything that connects over WalletConnect, including a wallet app on your phone. Everything happens on Robinhood Chain, and your wallet is asked to add that network the first time.
The wallet that launches a coin and the wallet a cause is later paid to are separate. Launching one does not make you the beneficiary of anything.
A new wallet holds nothing, and every transaction needs a little ETH on Robinhood Chain to pay for gas, including claiming fees you have already earned. Robinhood Chain has no faucet, and ETH cannot be bought on the chain itself: it is bridged in from Ethereum.
Robinhood Chain's own bridging guide lists every supported route, including the canonical bridge and the faster ones. FundPad never holds or moves your funds, and never asks for your keys.
The Pons v2 launch fee, read live from the contract before you sign (0.0005 ETH on 21 September 2026), plus gas, which is around 0.0002 ETH at recent prices. The launch page shows both and the total, checks your wallet can cover it before it asks you to sign, and adds nothing of its own: FundPad charges no fee.
Gas is always an estimate. Your wallet sets the real amount when it signs, and the chain charges what it charges.
Yes, from the coin page once it is launched. Pons requires the launch fee to be paid exactly, so a first buy is a separate transaction.
When a coin's curve sells out it moves to a locked Uniswap v4 pool, and the creator tax carries on there through the Pons pool hook. FundPad counts curve trades only, which is why the figure is labelled Curve trade fees: it leaves out what a graduated pool pays through the hook, and it leaves out the organizer's share of the Pons base fee. The escrow balance is the honest total, because it is what the chain says is there.
No. A redirect changes where future fees go. Anything already credited to you in the escrow stays yours to claim.
