<p>Pons, a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain, has now burned 330 million <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24PONS&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$PONS</a> tokens, equal to a third of the fixed supply of 1 billion. At the current price, the destroyed tokens would be worth about $47 million. The project is live on Robinhood Chain (<a href="https://x.com/RobinhoodCrypto" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@RobinhoodCrypto</a>).</p>
<h2 id="how-the-pons-burn-is-funded">How the Pons Burn Is Funded</h2>
<p>About 224 million of the burned tokens came from buybacks paid for with launchpad fees, at a cost of nearly $24 million. The Pons Treasury continues to buy on the open market, and more than 650,000 PONS were burned over the past week.</p>
<p>The mechanism is built into the protocol's fee model. For launches made through the current first-generation factory, token creators receive 70% of the available liquidity fees, while the Pons protocol receives the other 30%. Pons says 80% of its share is used to repurchase PONS and remove those tokens from circulation through burning. The cycle is simple: trading activity generates fees, fees fund PONS purchases, and the purchased tokens are burned.</p>
<p>Burned tokens are sent to a dead address. According to DataWallet's overview of the project, purchased tokens are transferred to the dead address, permanently reducing circulating supply.</p>
<h2 id="burn-progress-and-market-context">Burn Progress and Market Context</h2>
<p>The latest figure marks steady progress. By early September, the burn address held approximately 293.8 million PONS, representing 29.4% of the original supply. A separate update in October put the total at roughly 268 million tokens in the burn wallet in an earlier snapshot, leaving an effective supply of around 732 million , which shows how quickly the total has grown since the token's launch. The PONS token was launched on July 13, 2026 on Robinhood Chain with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens.</p>
<p>Robinhood Chain itself is relatively new. Robinhood launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built using Arbitrum's tech stack. The mainnet went live on July 1. Pons has since become one of the network's largest applications. The team reported that more than 63% of Robinhood Chain launchpad volume over a 24-hour period flowed through its platform.</p>
<p>Analysts caution that the burn model depends on continued activity. A decline in speculative demand could mean fewer launches, less trading, lower fees, weaker token accumulation and a slower burn rate. Another guide notes that PONS is linked to platform activity through token burns, not ownership in the business, and a burn policy that the team can still change.</p>
<p>The burn does not guarantee a price effect. The impact of the buyback and burn mechanism on price still depends on market demand.</p>
