Uniswap Launches pools.trade on Robinhood Chain
Uniswap Labs shipped its first official token launchpad on August 5, 2026 — and it is native to Robinhood Chain. Here is what pools.trade is, why volume decides which tokens trend, and how to get volume on a pools.trade token today.
On August 5, 2026, Uniswap Labs launched pools.trade, its first official token launchpad, on Robinhood Chain. Every launch settles into a protocol-owned, permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool with a fixed 1 billion supply. On day one roughly 6,000 tokens were minted, led by FRONG. OpenLiquid already supports these tokens and routes real volume through their v4 pools.
What Is pools.trade?
pools.trade is Uniswap Labs' official token launchpad, launched on Robinhood Chain at around 5pm ET on August 5, 2026. It is the first major launchpad Uniswap has shipped and the first launchpad native to Robinhood Chain from Uniswap.
According to Uniswap Labs (Aug 5, 2026), every token created on pools.trade settles into a protocol-owned Uniswap v4 pool that is permanently locked, with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. There are two ways to launch. Instant Launch uses a bonding curve so a token starts trading immediately, while Crowd Launch pools contributions before the token goes live. To blunt sniping, the creator's own buy executes in the same block as the launch, so bots cannot front-run the first trade.
The fee structure is deliberately thin. pools.trade charges only the standard 0.25% Uniswap v4 LP fee, which auto-compounds back into the locked liquidity, plus an optional 0.05% creator fee. That is a noticeably lower spread than the roughly 1% many launchpads take. For a fuller walkthrough of the mechanics, see our Robinhood Chain pools.trade volume guide, and the DEX profile at pools.trade on OpenLiquid.
Day One: What the Numbers Show
According to Entropy Advisors (Aug 2026), roughly 6,000 tokens were minted on pools.trade in its first day, beating the daily figures of rival launchpads Pons, Flap, and Bankr. The top token by activity was FRONG.
That is a strong open, but it deserves context. Over the same window, 7-day Robinhood Chain DEX volume had fallen about 33% from the prior period, so early launchpad activity is not moving in a straight line. A busy launch day does not guarantee sustained flow, which is precisely why the tokens that keep trading are the ones with visible, consistent volume rather than a single opening spike.
It helps to know the ground pools.trade is built on. Robinhood Chain is Robinhood's Arbitrum-Orbit Ethereum L2, carrying chain ID 4663, live on mainnet since July 1, 2026. It confirms blocks in roughly 100 milliseconds and uses ETH for gas. Memecoins dominated its first week, and about three weeks after launch the chain overtook Base in daily active users — the retail distribution behind Robinhood Chain is a large part of why Uniswap chose it for pools.trade.
Why Volume Decides Which Tokens Trend
On a launchpad shipping thousands of tokens a day, discovery is the bottleneck, not creation. Aggregators like DexScreener rank and surface tokens largely by trading activity, so a pool with steady, real volume is far more likely to trend than an identical token that sits quiet.
With around 6,000 tokens minted on day one alone, a new pools.trade token competes for attention against a wall of other launches. Volume is the signal that lifts a token into trending filters, into "top gainers" lists, and into the feeds traders actually watch. Without it, even a well-built token stays invisible. For the practical playbook, see how to get trending on pools.trade.
How to Get Volume on a pools.trade Token
OpenLiquid already supports pools.trade tokens. Because it supports Robinhood Chain and Uniswap v4/v3, it routes real on-chain volume through the token's locked Uniswap v4 pool automatically — no manual configuration of the pool type needed.
On DexScreener, a pools.trade token appears with chainId robinhood, dexId uniswap, and the label v4 — the exact venue OpenLiquid trades into. Getting started takes a few minutes:
- Open t.me/OpenLiquidBot and select "Volume Bot," then choose "Robinhood Chain."
- Paste your pools.trade token's contract address. The bot loads the token's Uniswap v4 pool automatically.
- Set your target volume, min/max swap size, and wallet count. Robinhood Chain's ~100ms blocks and ETH gas make high-frequency, many-wallet sessions practical.
- Fund the deposit address with ETH on Robinhood Chain, and the session runs, routing real swaps through the v4 pool.
Prefer a hands-off run? Use the Robinhood Chain volume bot and its order form — paste the token address, pick the Uniswap v4 pool, and let the team run it. For a ranked comparison of options, see the best Robinhood Chain volume bots.
Pricing
OpenLiquid charges a flat 1% fee on session volume, with no subscription. A $5,000 session costs $50; scale it up or down as needed. That is separate from — and additional to — the pools.trade protocol's own 0.25% Uniswap v4 LP fee and optional 0.05% creator fee, which apply to trades regardless of who is trading.
Frequently Asked Questions
pools.trade is Uniswap Labs' official token launchpad, launched on Robinhood Chain on August 5, 2026. It is the first major launchpad Uniswap has shipped and the first launchpad native to Robinhood Chain. Every launch settles into a protocol-owned, permanently locked Uniswap v4 pool with a fixed 1 billion token supply, and it offers two models: Instant Launch (a bonding curve) and Crowd Launch.
Yes. OpenLiquid already supports pools.trade tokens because it supports Robinhood Chain and Uniswap v4/v3. It routes real on-chain volume through the token's locked Uniswap v4 pool automatically. On DexScreener these tokens appear with chainId "robinhood", dexId "uniswap", and the label "v4".
pools.trade charges only the standard 0.25% Uniswap v4 LP fee, which auto-compounds into the locked liquidity, plus an optional 0.05% creator fee. That is a lower spread than the roughly 1% typical of many launchpads. OpenLiquid's own volume service is separate: a flat 1% per session with no subscription (a $5,000 session costs $50).
According to Entropy Advisors (Aug 2026), roughly 6,000 tokens were minted on pools.trade in its first day, beating the daily figures of Pons, Flap, and Bankr. The top token was FRONG. For balance, note that 7-day Robinhood Chain DEX volume had fallen about 33% from the prior period, so early activity is not linear.
Because a pools.trade token lives in a standard Uniswap v4 pool on Robinhood Chain, OpenLiquid can route real swaps through it automatically. Paste the contract address into the Telegram bot or the hands-off order form, pick the Uniswap v4 pool, set your target volume, and fund the session with ETH on Robinhood Chain. The flat fee is 1% of session volume.
