Cheque docs

Cheque is a launchpad on Robinhood Chain built on pons v2. Every coin’s creator fees are written out as cheques to people — mostly to the yappers: holders who post about the coin. You can also point a coin at specific creators on fomo or X.

Yapping

Anyone holding a Cheque coin can earn from it by talking about it.

1. Connect your X or TikTok and a wallet on Cheque (fomo users don’t need to — your fomo wallet is found from your handle).
2. Hold the coin. You need the coin’s minimum balance for the whole round; holding more gives up to a 2× boost.
3. Post about it: an X post or TikTok naming the $TICKER or contract address, or a thesis on the coin in fomo.
4. Get paid every round. Your share is your score ÷ everyone’s score, times the round’s pool.

Scoring

Scores reset every round, so new yappers can win the very next one.

Bots & fairness

Every account is re-checked every few minutes. Signals like brand-new accounts, burst posting, near-identical posts, one account on many wallets, or likes with no replies add risk. Risk leads to a warning (−25%), a second warning (−50%) and then disqualification. Warnings clear when the behaviour stops.

Balances are sampled at random points in the round and the lowest one counts — buying in for the snapshot and dumping doesn’t work.

Payouts

• The launcher picks the round length: 15 minutes to 24 hours.
• Each round the coin’s fees are pulled on-chain; 20% goes to Cheque, 80% is the yapper pool.
• Cheque publishes the round’s allocation as a Merkle root on-chain. The contract caps it at what the coin actually earned, and it can only ever grow.
• fomo yappers are pushed automatically. X / TikTok yappers claim on the site (or get pushed). Amounts are cumulative, so nothing is lost if you claim late.
• You’re paid in the coin’s pair asset (ETH, or the stock token it’s paired with).

Launching a coin

Connect a wallet, name the coin, pick who it pays, and sign one transaction. Cheque launches it on pons with a fresh vault as the creator-fee recipient, so fees can only ever flow to the recipients you chose. Optional: an extra creator tax (up to 10%, all to recipients) and an opening buy.

Paying creators

Instead of (or besides) yappers, a coin can pay specific people — up to 5, with your own % split:

• fomo creators — paid straight to their fomo wallet on Robinhood Chain. Anyone can push the payout; the vault can only send to that wallet.
• X accounts — held for the account’s permanent X id. The person gets paid either way:

Every X Money payment is recorded on-chain against the coin’s vault (settleOffchain, with the X Money receipt as reference), so the same money can never be paid twice: whatever was sent through X Money is no longer claimable, and whatever you claimed is never sent. X Money needs to be enabled on the account (US only for now).

Fees

pons charges 1% on every trade (70% creator, 30% pons) before and after graduation. The creator share goes to the coin’s Cheque vault, which splits it 80% recipients / 20% Cheque. Coins graduate to a locked Uniswap v4 pool at 4.2 ETH.

Security

• X handles are keyed by permanent numeric id; renames and look-alikes change nothing.
• Our server reads your X id from the verified login, never from your browser.
• A bound handle can only be moved by its own wallet. Lost-wallet recovery waits 3 days in public and can be cancelled.
• Yap allocations are capped on-chain by what the vault earned.
• Every pull, payout and claim is an on-chain event anyone can verify.
• X Money payouts are recorded on-chain by our operator: capped at what the handle is owed, one record per X Money receipt, and reimbursed to the treasury in public.
• Owner powers (a public rescue for stuck funds, rotating keys) are visible on-chain.
