    Original Title: "Is the Launch Event Just a Makeup Ceremony? Why Hasn't Pools.trade Launched a High Market Cap Meme Coin?"
    Original Author: Asher, Odaily Star Daily


    Before the official front end of Pools.trade opened, the "P Little General" had already completed a round of P.


    At 0:00 on August 5, there was a 24-hour countdown to the official launch of Pools.trade on Uniswap. During the countdown, the community found the early deployed contracts of the platform and directly traded the already issued tokens on-chain. By the time the front end of Pools.trade officially opened, these early contracts had already generated over $150 million in trading volume.


    In response, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams stated that the large volume of early trades forced the team to readjust the website and data indexing, while also accommodating both the test contracts and the final version contracts, disrupting the originally planned launch schedule.


    The sense of panic displayed by a DeFi veteran like Uniswap feels somewhat like a "makeshift operation," yet the trading data is undeniably high. Dune data shows that on August 5 alone (the front end did not officially open until the morning of August 6, and most trading data was generated before the front end went live), Pools.trade's trading volume reached $99.1 million, accounting for about 54.2% of the total trading volume of the Robinhood Chain token issuance platform that day, far exceeding Pons, which had topped the charts for two weeks prior.


    ### pools.trade: A Token Issuance Platform Launched Directly by Uniswap
    Project Overview ----
    Pools.trade is a token issuance platform launched by Uniswap Labs on the Robinhood Chain, officially positioned as a launchpad for meme coins, allowing users to issue coins, find new coins, and trade all on the same page. **Each token has a fixed total supply of 1 billion, ultimately entering Uniswap v4, with liquidity permanently locked.**
    Tokens issued on Pools.trade will immediately connect to the Uniswap web interface, wallets, Launches page, and Trading API, reaching MetaMask, Ledger, and multiple DEX aggregators. Compared to new platforms that need to find trading entry points from scratch, **pools.trade already has Uniswap's existing users and distribution channels at launch.**
    Two Issuance Methods ------
    Pools.trade offers two modes: Instant Launch and Crowd Launch, which are:
    · Instant Launch: Immediate token issuance. After the creator fills in the name, ticker, image, and description, the token is directly open for trading, with prices changing according to market buy and sell, without minimum market cap requirements or fixed end times;
    · Crowd Launch: A four-hour issuance window. Participants submit budgets in advance, and orders are gradually filled within the remaining time, with earlier participation usually resulting in lower prices. After the issuance ends, the token FDV must reach $10,000 to enter trading; if the threshold is not met, all participating funds are refunded. This mode is mainly used to reduce the impact of bots on opening trades and bundled transactions.
    The platform's most notable feature: transaction fees are only one-fourth of Pons and Flap -----------------------------
    **Pools.trade does not charge additional launchpad fees, only a 0.25% transaction fee from the Uniswap v4 pool.** After the creator activates revenue sharing, 0.05% goes to the creator, and 0.20% is automatically reinvested into the permanently locked liquidity pool, with Uniswap Labs not participating in the revenue sharing.
    Transaction fees for Pons and Flap are both 1%. Based on a trading volume of $10 million, Pools.trade generates $25,000 in fees, of which the token creator can receive $5,000; Pons generates $100,000 in fees, and with a 70% creator share, the token creator can receive $70,000.
    Pools.trade reduces trading costs and keeps most fees in liquidity; Pons and Flap leave higher income for token creators. The former is more beneficial for trading, while the latter provides more direct incentives for token creators.
    For a detailed introduction, recommended reading: "Uniswap Launches Token Issuance Platform Pools.trade, Is the Robinhood Launchpad Ecosystem Being Reshuffled?".
    ### Only Two Tokens Have Market Caps Over One Million Dollars, Early Minting Raises Fairness Concerns
    **Compared to the impressive number of token issuances and platform trading volume, Pools.trade has not seen high market cap meme coins.** As of now, there are only two tokens on Pools.trade with market caps above $1 million, namely FRONG and POOLS; additionally, tokens with market caps above $400,000 include HOOKR, UNIPEG, CHWDR, and PosM.
    ![](https://public.chaincatcher.info/upload/news/202608/7f9dbde8ba6c41f8a4fa6f7ef67cfb45.png)
    FRONG, Market Cap Once Reached $18 Million ---------------------
    FRONG is currently the highest market cap meme on Pools.trade. At 0:00 on August 5, Uniswap's official Twitter account announced the 24-hour countdown for the launch of Pools.trade and released a video of a frog "playing in the water" by the pond.
    ![](https://public.chaincatcher.info/upload/news/202608/6ff1321b2fed4112acfe7c3270a8135a.png)
    After the tweet was published, the community quickly noticed the frog meme coin FRONG issued through the early contracts of Pools.trade and regarded it as the mascot concept coin of the platform. Influenced by this FOMO sentiment, **FRONG's market cap briefly reached $18 million.**
    ![](https://public.chaincatcher.info/upload/news/202608/1e31e12a608541e0b7ebaacbddc156ae.png)
    **However, before Uniswap started the countdown for the launch of Pools.trade, FRONG had already been minted through the contract.** On-chain records show that FRONG was minted as early as July 30 and established a trading pool five days before the Uniswap countdown announcement; the relevant contract was even deployed about three weeks in advance, without any indication of a relationship with Uniswap or Pools.trade at that time.
    As this time gap was discovered, the fairness of FRONG's issuance began to be questioned, and its market cap quickly fell from its peak. Even though Pools.trade officially launched at 0:00 yesterday, FRONG did not receive community support, and its market cap has remained below $10 million, currently reported at $7 million.
    POOLS, Market Cap Once Surpassed $4 Million --------------------
    Currently, POOLS, ranked second in market cap on Pools.trade, is similar to FRONG, as it is also a meme coin that was minted before the platform's official launch.
    Compared to FRONG's "frog mascot" narrative, POOLS's narrative logic is more straightforward—its name is the same as the platform, and the community treats it as the concept coin of Pools.trade. **Its market cap once surpassed $4 million, then fell back to about $1.8 million.**
    ![](https://public.chaincatcher.info/upload/news/202608/4ddac2ecbffc4359a4bcfe962dce2ffb.png)
    FRONG relies on the "frog mascot" narrative, while POOLS relies on the same name as the platform. Both should have higher market cap expectations, but due to the "whale" controversy caused by early minting, community FOMO sentiment has sharply decreased, and both market caps are below $10 million.
    The fundamental logic of meme coins is that everyone is willing to believe they are starting from the same starting line. **Once fairness is questioned, even the best token narratives find it hard to sustain community-driven dissemination.** This may be the reason why Pools.trade, despite impressive data, has not yet launched a high market cap meme coin.
    However, Pools.trade is backed by Uniswap, and the Robinhood Chain is also one of the hottest public chains for meme discussions at present. The platform currently lacks traffic but needs a sufficiently interesting new narrative without "whale" controversies. It may not be long before Pools.trade sees its first "fast track".
