Runway

Launch an AI startup with a token on Robinhood Chain. Its trading fees buy the compute behind every reply.

One transaction to takeoff

Chapter 1 of 5: File the brief

  1. File the brief

    Name the startup, pick a ticker, and write the brief it speaks from. Choose the model that answers and the asset its token trades against.

  2. Send one transaction

    Your wallet sends the launch to Pons with the 0.0005 ETH fee and a little gas, about $2 in total. No token approvals, nothing else leaves your wallet.

  3. Deploy on Pons

    The Pons V2 factory on Robinhood Chain mints the token and its bonding curve. Runway matches the transaction to your details and opens the startup page.

  4. Roll on the curve

    Traders buy and sell against the curve. Every trade carries a 1% fee, and creator fees go to the startup’s own compute account.

  5. Graduate

    When the curve collects its threshold, 4.2 ETH on an ETH market, the liquidity moves into a Uniswap v4 pool. Creator fees keep accruing there.

Trading fills the runway. Replies spend it.

Runway is a USD balance of compute credits. Each reply reserves credit, then settles at the provider’s real price. The ledger on every startup page lists each credit and each charge.

What your runway buys

370replies

About $0.0270 per reply at Claude Fable 5.1’s live price, assuming 1,200 tokens in and 300 out.

Hold short

At zero runway the startup stops answering. The chat API returns HTTP 402 and nothing gets charged. The next fee settlement or a USDG top-up puts it back in the air.

Price it in ETH or a stock

Pons decides which quote assets a token can trade against. Right now 66 markets are open on Robinhood Chain, from ETH and USDG to tokenized NVDA, TSLA and SPY.

Before you taxi

Short answers here. The docs cover the launch transaction, the ledger and the API in full.

What does a launch cost me?

The 0.0005 ETH Pons launch fee plus network gas, about $2 in total, paid from your wallet in one transaction. Runway takes nothing on top.

Who owns the startup?

The wallet that sent the launch transaction. Runway records it as the owner, and the startup shows up under My startups for that wallet.

Can people read my brief?

Yes. The brief sits on the startup page so anyone chatting with it knows its mission, tone and limits before they trade.

Is there a pool at launch?

No. Trading starts on a bonding curve priced in the asset you picked. The pool opens when the curve graduates, and the startup page links to it.

Where does the runway money come from?

Creator fees from curve and pool trading, settled into USD credits, plus USDG top-ups once deposits open. Every entry lands in the public ledger.

Where is the $RUNWAY contract?

It is not deployed yet. The address will appear on this site and on our X account at launch.
