Documentation

Short on purpose. $TEST doesn't need much documentation — which is itself part of the test: this page's layout matters more than its word count.

What $TEST is

$TEST is a token launched through pons v1, a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain (an Ethereum layer-2). It is a permanent, public test environment run by one operator: the dev known as Trencher. It is not a product, not an investment thesis, and not pretending to be either.

Why it exists

Because every procedure — launching on a curve, applying to a DEX listing site, wiring a website to on-chain data — goes better the second time. $TEST absorbs Trencher's first time. Mistakes made here are the deliverable.

How a pons v1 launch works

From the pons docs: creating a launch deploys the token and its Uniswap V3 trading pool in a single transaction, and the pool's liquidity is locked automatically. Supply is fixed at one billion tokens. Every token trades against WETH in its own pool from the first block — there is no bonding curve and no migration.

A launch "graduates" once the WETH paired in the pool reaches the protocol threshold, currently 4.2 ETH. Graduation is a milestone, not a mechanism: trading continues in the same pool, and nothing moves.

Numbers above come from the pons docs at the time of writing. If the docs and the deployed contracts ever disagree, the contracts win.

What gets tested here

Launch mechanics on pons v1, end to end.
Listing and aggregator applications, and what they actually require.
Integrations between a website and on-chain data.
This site itself — its structure is a dress rehearsal for a later project by the same dev.

Results, as they happen, get written down on the Ledger.
