Rono — the launchpad where the liquidity is card float
Robinhood Chain · 4663
Visa & Mastercard, worldwide
Liquidity,issued.
Coins backed by the moneysitting on people's cards
Launch a coin on Robinhood Chain with no pool to seed and nothing to presell. Its liquidity is the float on the cards issued against it — real money, on real Visa and Mastercard numbers, spent in real shops.
Every launchpad has the same unanswered question sitting under it: where is the liquidity actually coming from? Usually the answer is you, or a presale, or somebody who leaves the minute it is worth leaving. Here the answer is a card that somebody carries in their pocket. Here is what backs a coin:
Three cards. One reserve.

Two ways in. One floor out.
01 — What backs it
A coin's liquidity is ETH on Robinhood Chain, and nothing else. What Rono will take is two things: ETH, which is what a wallet spends and what a curve holds, and USDG, for the card price you would rather pay in dollars. Both are priced on arrival, and you see the exact figure before you send anything.
No long list of coins nobody uses, no bridges, nothing wrapped twice. A shorter list means every address we hand out is one we actually watch, and every dollar of backing is one you can trace.
ETH
Send ether to your own wallet address and that is the balance. It pays for a launch, buys a coin, and whatever you sell comes back to the same place.

USDG
Buy the card itself in dollars instead of ether. The quote is exact to the last decimal place, which is how your payment is matched to your order and to nobody else's.

If an asset isn't on this page, no reserve on this launchpad will take it. That's the whole policy.
02 — Your wallet
The card is a wallet you hold.
Every card comes with its own address on Robinhood Chain, and whatever ETH is in it is the balance. It pays for the launches and the buys, whatever you sell lands back in it, and you can send it out again whenever you like. No deposit form, no processor sitting on your money for three days, and nothing of yours pooled with anybody else's.
An address of your own
Handed out with the card and tied to your X account, not to this browser. Sign in somewhere else and the same wallet, the same card and the same coins are there.
Send ETH straight to it
Nothing to fill in and nobody to ask. The balance moves in the block the transfer lands, and the app shows it in dollars and in ether.
It spends on the curve
Launching a coin and buying one both come out of this wallet. Every transaction is simulated first, so one that would fail is refused in words and costs you no gas.
Take it out whenever
Withdraw to any address, in any block, minus the chain's gas and nothing else. Your float is yours the whole way through.
Launch to liquidity, in four moves.
No presale, no seeded pool, no team allocation waiting to be dumped on you. Supply exists only where a card was funded, and the reserve behind it is a contract you can read.
Name a coin, pick a ticker, deploy. The token and its reserve contract arrive in the same transaction. A flat fee and no capital — there is no pool for you to seed.
Anyone can open a card against that coin. Answer three questions and the number, expiry and security code are yours to paste anywhere.
Load the card by sending ETH to your own wallet address. The money does not sit in a processor's float account — it lands in the coin's reserve, and supply mints against it at the backing ratio.
Spend your own float; what you don't spend keeps backing the coin. Interchange on every authorisation goes back to the reserve, so the floor only moves one way.
03 — The app
The floor, on the same screen as the card.
Your card, your holding, the reserve behind it, and a feed that updates the moment anything happens. Every line says what it did to the backing — a top-up that raised it, a purchase that spent your own share of it, interchange that pushed it back up. No separate app, no second login.
- 01Backing, per block. Reserve balance over circulating supply, read straight off the contract rather than quoted by us.
- 02See it when you need it. Number, security code and expiry appear on tap, and are never stored on our side.
- 03Freeze and thaw. A frozen card declines every authorisation and leaves your float in the reserve exactly where it is.
- 04Redeem at the floor. Sell coins back to the reserve at the backing ratio, any block, without asking anyone.
- 05Take it out again. Withdraw the unspent ETH in your wallet to any address you like, in any block, without asking us first.
04 — The chain
Robinhood Chain, and what we watch.
Coins, curves and wallets all live on Robinhood Chain — id 4663 — so nothing has to cross a bridge to become liquidity. Card payments are quoted to an exact figure and matched on that figure alone, and a quote expires, so nothing sits open waiting to swallow a stray transfer six months from now.

05 — What it costs
Launchpads usually take their cut where you cannot see it — in the pool, in the allocation, in the spread. Ours is a table. Whatever you are about to do, the app shows you the real figure before you confirm it, and no fee is ever taken out of a reserve.
| Action | Fee | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Launch a coin | flat | One transaction, token and reserve together. No capital, and no cut of supply to us. |
| Crypto funding | network + platform | Quoted in full before you send. Nothing is deducted twice. |
| Buy or sell on the curve | 3% | The coin's trading tax, taken on chain by the curve itself and shown before you confirm. |
| Card issue | — | One-off, taken from the wallet at issue. Varies by tier. |
| Card top-up | per tier | Applied on the way into the reserve, never on the way out. |
| Redeem at the floor | free | Coins burn, the reserve pays out at the backing ratio. Never gated, never queued. |
| Withdraw to wallet | free | Pull your unspent float back off a card whenever you like. |
| Payout to your address | network fee | Goes to your verified address on file for that asset. |
| Declined payment | per network | Shows as its own line, never folded quietly into a purchase. |
Fees marked "per tier" depend on the card you choose, and the app shows the exact figure for the one you pick. Every number on this page is the live one.
Built for the launches that need a real floor.

The awkward questions.
06 — Straight answers
01What actually backs the coin?
Money that has been loaded onto cards and not yet spent. Each coin has one reserve contract holding USDG. Funding a card pays into it; spending on that card pays out of it. Backing per coin is the reserve divided by circulating supply, and you can compute it yourself from the chain without taking our word for any part of it.
02So the founder can't rug it?
There is nothing to rug. Nobody seeds the pool, so nobody can pull it — there is no LP position, no team allocation and no unlock cliff. Supply only mints where a card was funded, and the reserve only pays out to whoever burns supply. A founder who wants out sells at the same floor as everybody else.
03What happens to the coin when someone spends?
Their own float leaves the reserve and the matching supply burns, so backing per coin is unchanged — a spend shrinks the coin, it does not dilute it. The interchange on that authorisation goes back into the reserve and is not matched by new supply, which is the one thing on this page that actually moves the floor up.
04Why route it through a card at all?
Because card float is the most boring, stickiest money there is. It arrives because somebody wants to buy groceries, not because a chart looked good, and it does not all leave on the same afternoon. A launch that has to earn its liquidity from people who want to spend is a slower launch and a much harder one to knock over.
05Who is holding the money?
We are, while it is funding a card. Card programmes are custodial — anybody telling you otherwise is describing something else. What is not custodial is the accounting: the reserve balance and the supply are both on chain, so you can check the backing without trusting our ledger.
06What exactly is the floor?
Reserve divided by circulating supply, redeemable in any block by burning coins. It is a floor, not a price — the coin can trade well above it and often will. What it cannot easily do is trade below it, because anyone can buy at the lower price and redeem at the higher one.
07Do I have to launch a coin to get a card?
No. Most people will never launch anything. You pick a live coin, issue a card against it, and fund it — you get a working Visa or Mastercard number, and that coin gets deeper liquidity. Launching is the rarer half of this.
08What if nobody funds a card?
Then the coin has no supply and no liquidity, which is the honest outcome and a cheap one. A launch with no cards behind it is a ticker and an empty contract. Nothing was raised, so nothing was lost.
09What if the ether price moves while I'm paying?
A card is quoted at the live rate when you order it, and that quote is good for two hours. Pay it inside the window and the price you were shown is the price you get, whatever ether does in the meantime. Past it the quote expires rather than quietly repricing, and you pick the card again for a fresh figure — an expired quote is never a number we will take money against.
10Is there a KYC step?
It depends on the card tier, not on the coin. The app tells you before you spend anything, not after. Holding or redeeming a coin needs nothing from you at all.
