READING THE LIVE PONS STACK

Tokens that feed the Harvest

Every token here launched on Pons v2 with its creator fees pointed at a contract that can only forward them to the Veggie Harvest — and cannot hand that role back. Trade one and you are funding the Harvest. Launch one and so is everyone who trades yours.

Graduated

Tokens that cleared the graduation threshold and moved to a Uniswap pool with permanently locked liquidity.

On the curve

Still trading on their bonding curve, climbing toward graduation.

What "feeds the Harvest" actually means

Who takes what out of a trade?

Pons charges every trade a 1% base fee and keeps 30% of it, so 0.70% of volume reaches the launch's fee recipient before any creator tax.

What does Veggie Traders take?

A fixed 1.00% of quote-side volume from every launch here. A creator sets a tax of 30 to 80 bps on top of Pons's fee: the first 30 make up what the base fee leaves short of that 1%, and the rest — up to 0.50% of volume — is theirs.

Where does that 1% actually go?

It splits in two, and neither half is a wallet. Half funds the Veggie Harvest. Half buys $VEGGIES on the open market and burns it. The launchpad computes both shares from numbers fixed at deployment, and pays them out in the same transaction that collects the fee.

Can a launch's fees be redirected later?

No. The fee recipient is not a wallet: it is a sink contract with no function that can reassign it, so the routing is stuck for as long as the token trades.

How do fees get from a trade to the Harvest?

They accrue in the quote asset. Anyone can trigger the collect that sweeps them, sells them for ETH through a Chainlink-quoted route, and pays both destinations.

Can anyone take the buyback's money?

The buyback contract has no withdrawal and no way to change what it buys: ETH that reaches it can only leave as $VEGGIES that no longer exist. Anyone can push the button.

Is any of this a promise of income?

No. Volume is not revenue — a launch with no trades pays nothing, and nothing here is a promise of income to anyone.
