The insurance policy that insures nothing

Premiums,
but hourly.

Hold $PONSURE and get paid $PONS every hour. Nothing to stake, nothing to claim, nothing to sign. We underwrite no risk whatsoever — and that is the most honest thing about it.

The plan

Your insurance, if your insurer never paid a claim

A real insurer takes your premium, keeps most of it, and pays out when it decides you qualify. This takes a slice of every trade, buys $PONS with it, and hands the PONS to whoever is holding. There is no claim to make, because there is nothing to claim.

1
Every trade pays the premiumBuys and sells of $PONSURE carry 3.00%. Two thirds of that is the premium; the rest is the pool's own fee. The full breakdown, including our cut, is the next section.
2
It goes to a contract, not a walletThe fee recipient was set to the rewards contract in the launch transaction itself, so it was never pointed at anybody's wallet, not for a single block. Not a multisig. Not a treasury. Code with no owner and no withdraw function.
3
The contract buys $PONS on the open marketIt spends the ETH it collected buying PONS, at a price checked against the pool's own time-weighted average so nobody can bait it into a bad trade. Real buys, real volume, on chain.
4
The PONS goes out to holdersEvery round it is divided by how much you held and how long you held it, then sent straight to your wallet. Nothing to claim, nothing to click.

What it costs you

3.00% a trade, and here is all of it

That is less than the comparable product charges. Most launches on this chain will not show you the middle column at all.

To holders
2.00%
Into the ownerless contract. Buys PONS every hour and sends it out. We cannot touch it — there is no withdraw function in the code.
To us
0.70%
The creator's share of the Pons pool fee. This is our entire income. It is split inside the contract at a rate fixed on deployment.
To Pons
0.30%
The protocol's share. We never receive it and could not stop it if we wanted to.
Why we take the 0.70% instead of hiding it

A team can route every last fee to holders and appear to earn nothing. What that usually means is that the team is paid somewhere you cannot see — almost always a large bag of the token bought before launch. A team with only a token position and no fee income makes its money by selling to its own holders. There is no third option: running this costs money, so somebody is paying for it either way.

Ours is tied to trading volume, which means we get paid when this stays alive rather than when it spikes and we leave. It is 0.70% whether the token goes up or down, so we have no reason to prefer a spike over a year.

Being told costs you nothing here. The fee is the same whether or not we mention it, and it was always visible on chain to anyone who went looking. The only question was whether you had to go looking.

How it's worked out

Two things decide what you get

How much you hold. That is your ceiling. Hold 2% of the eligible supply and you cannot be paid more than 2% of a round. The contract rejects anything larger, whatever we submit.

How long you held it. Held the full hour, you get your full share. Bought with ten minutes left, you get about ten minutes' worth.

Buying just before a payout and selling just after earns you almost nothing. That is on purpose.

The pool's own liquidity is left out of the split — it is not a person and cannot be paid — so your share is a little larger than your percentage of the total supply would suggest.

What isn't paid out

Some wallets hit their ceiling and the remainder goes unspent. It stays in the contract and rolls into the next round. There is no withdraw function, so nobody can take it out — us included.

Verify it yourself

Don't take our word for any of it

We publish the full working for every round as a file. This tool reads what actually happened on chain and checks it against that file, line by line, in your browser, using whichever node you point it at.

It checks the one thing that can actually go wrong. Nobody can be overpaid regardless of what we submit — the contract enforces that, and no amount of dishonesty on our part gets past it. What we could manipulate is the account we give of it. So the account is what gets checked.

What this tool does not do

It does not recompute the time-weighting — that needs every transfer log for the round, which is too slow in a browser. The full recomputation is a command-line tool in the repository. It has been run against another product built the same way and reproduced its payouts to within 0.05%, with the same set of recipients to the address. So this is a demonstrated claim, not a promise.

The claim we don't make

Why we never pay out

The name says premiums. This is not insurance and we underwrite nothing. That is not buried in a disclaimer, it is the design — because on-chain rug insurance cannot exist. Not "nobody has built it properly yet". It fails as arithmetic.

What the numbers look like
Tokens on a comparable launchpad that ever graduate0.198%
Studied tokens whose liquidity fell below $1,00098.6%
Rug-pull candidates in a sample of early Solana DEX launches76,469 / 100,063
1
When loss is near certain, the fair premium is the whole payoutPremium equals probability times cover. At a 90% chance of loss the fair premium is 90% of the cover — nobody buys that, and pricing under it is choosing to sell at a loss. Insurance only works on risks that are unlikely and spread out. This is neither.
2
Anonymity kills insurable interestYou cannot take out fire cover on a stranger's house. On chain there is no way to tell a holder from the founder's second wallet. Launch a token, insure your own position, rug it, collect. That is not a loophole, it is a cash machine.
3
The risks are correlated, which is how AIG diedInsurance rests on the law of large numbers, which needs independent risks. Memecoins fail together: one large collapse takes the sector with it and every policy triggers at once. Underwriting correlated risk while pricing it as independent is the 2008 story exactly.
4
Most real rugs are soft onesA slow bleed, forty percent of the liquidity pulled, a team that never touches the pool and simply sells its own bag. The cases that most need paying are the ones a contract cannot adjudicate. Write the trigger narrowly and it never fires; write it broadly and you are arbitraged to death.
The people best placed to solve this looked at it and declined

Nexus Mutual is the largest insurer in DeFi — six years, real actuaries, a real capital pool. It explicitly excludes rug pulls, and says why: they are too hard to price, and the moral hazard is too high. Cover them and the cover gets gamed.

So here is our position

Anything claiming to insure you against a rug is either mispriced and doomed, or will refuse the claim when it matters. We took the third option: promise nothing, and put every movement of every coin on chain where you can check it.

"We never pay out" reads like the weak line. In this table it is the strongest one, because it makes never paying and never welching the same sentence.

The fine print, in plain English

What the contract can and can't do

"Unruggable" gets said a lot and usually means nothing. Here is the actual split: what the code makes impossible, and the parts that still need trust. Read both.

Impossible, enforced by code

  • Nobody owns it. No owner, no admin role, no upgrade path. It was deployed without them.
  • Nobody can withdraw the PONS. No rescue, sweep or withdraw function of any kind. The only way PONS leaves is into a holder's wallet.
  • Nobody can be overpaid. Every payment is checked against that wallet's share of the eligible supply. Ask for more and the contract sends the smaller number.
  • Non-holders get nothing. A wallet holding zero is paid zero, whatever the submitted list says.
  • Our 0.70% can never grow. Fixed at deployment against a hard ceiling in the code, paid in ETH only, and the path that moves it cannot touch PONS at all.
  • It cannot be frozen. If our server disappears, payouts become open to anyone after seven days. Funds cannot be stranded.

What still needs trust

  • We build the payout list. A contract cannot loop over every holder — the chain keeps no such list — so our watcher works out who held what and submits it.
  • The worst it could do is leave someone out. It cannot overpay, cannot pay itself, cannot withdraw. Anything skipped rolls into the next round.
  • The time-weighting is not verifiable on chain. The token has no transfer hooks, so no contract — ours included — can check it. Recompute it yourself from the transfer logs; the tool for that is published.
  • Pons could switch off our fee. Its factory admin can repoint any launch's creator fee. We do not hold that key and cannot stop it. New premiums would stop arriving; everything already in the contract still only goes to holders.
  • Rewards need trading. The fee is the only income. Quiet market, small rounds. An hour with no trades pays nothing at all. That is arithmetic, not a promise we can fix.
