Terms of Service
Last updated: August 31, 2026Summary in plain words: pon.fun is a non-custodial website that helps you read public blockchain and market data and interact with open smart contracts on Robinhood Chain from your own wallet. We never hold your funds, we cannot reverse transactions, nothing here is investment advice, and tokens on this site can lose their entire value. Robinhood Stock Tokens are not offered to U.S. persons.
1. Who we are and what these Terms cover
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the website available at pon.fun, its subdomains, interfaces, APIs and related content (together, the "Site"), operated by the pon.fun team ("pon.fun", "we", "us"). By accessing or using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
The Site is an interface. The pon.fun protocol itself is a set of autonomous smart contracts deployed on Robinhood Chain (an Ethereum layer-2 network). Those contracts are public infrastructure that anyone can interact with directly, with or without this Site. These Terms cover the Site only; your use of the underlying blockchain, of your wallet software, and of any third-party service is governed by their respective terms.
2. Eligibility
- You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
- You must not be a resident of, located in, or organized in any jurisdiction where use of the Site or of the assets it references is prohibited, and you must not be subject to any sanctions administered by the UN, EU, UK, US (OFAC) or any similar authority, nor act on behalf of any sanctioned person.
- Robinhood Stock Tokens are not registered under U.S. securities laws and may not be offered, sold or delivered to U.S. persons, and are further restricted in other jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, Canada and Switzerland. Coins referenced on this Site are backed by such tokens. If you are a U.S. person, or otherwise ineligible to hold Robinhood Stock Tokens where you live, you must not use the trading features of this Site. By connecting a wallet you represent that you are eligible.
- It is your responsibility to comply with the laws and tax obligations of your own jurisdiction.
3. The Site is a non-custodial interface
- We do not hold, control or have access to your funds, tokens, private keys or wallets at any time.
- Every transaction is proposed to you by your own wallet software, signed by you, and executed by the public network. We cannot execute, cancel, freeze or reverse transactions.
- We do not act as a broker, dealer, exchange, custodian, money transmitter, investment adviser or fiduciary. No account is created on our side and we take no possession of customer assets.
- Protocol fees (for example the split of each purchase between the backing vault, liquidity reserve, creator fee and protocol fee) are defined in the smart contracts and displayed in the interface before you sign. Network gas fees are set by the blockchain, not by us.
4. Not investment advice; informational content
Nothing on the Site is, or should be treated as, investment, financial, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation, solicitation or offer to buy or sell any asset. Content such as prices, charts, "trending" rankings, divergence indicators, backing percentages and countdowns is provided for information only, is generated automatically from on-chain and third-party data, and may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. You are solely responsible for your decisions. Consider seeking advice from qualified professionals before transacting.
5. Risk disclosure
Using blockchain assets involves significant risk. In particular:
- Total loss. Coins launched through the protocol are speculative, meme-driven assets. Their price can go to, or near, the redeemable value of the vault or lower, and the vault's value can itself fall. You may lose everything you put in.
- Volatility and liquidity. Sub-$5 equities and the coins referencing them are among the most volatile instruments that exist. Liquidity can vanish; exits before graduation happen at net asset value, not at the quoted coin price.
- Smart contract risk. Contracts can contain bugs or be exploited. The protocol contracts are immutable once deployed and are provided "as is", without audits being warranted by us.
- Oracle and data risk. Vault valuations rely on price oracles and market-data feeds that can be stale (nights, weekends, halts), inaccurate or manipulated.
- Underlying issuer risk. Robinhood Stock Tokens are issued by a third party. Corporate actions, dilution, delistings, trading halts, issuer failure or regulatory action can materially affect the tokens in the vault. We have no relationship with, and no control over, that issuer.
- Regulatory risk. The legal treatment of tokenized equities and of coins referencing them is evolving and may change in ways that restrict or eliminate their use or value.
- No insurance. Assets you interact with are not bank deposits and are not protected by FDIC, SIPC or any similar scheme.
6. Third-party services and data
The Site displays data from and links to services we do not control, including blockchain RPC providers, block explorers, Chainlink price feeds, the Robinhood Chain asset registry, stock market data providers, company logos, and wallet software. We do not endorse and are not responsible for those services, their availability, or the accuracy of their data. Company names, tickers and logos belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only; their appearance does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement of pon.fun. pon.fun is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc. or any listed company.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Site in violation of any applicable law, including securities, sanctions and anti-money-laundering laws;
- use the Site to launder funds, finance terrorism, or deal in proceeds of crime;
- engage in market manipulation, including wash trading, spoofing or fraudulent pumping schemes;
- probe, attack, overload, scrape at abusive rates, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site or its infrastructure;
- misrepresent your jurisdiction or eligibility, or circumvent any geographic or technical restriction;
- use the Site if you are a sanctioned person or located in a sanctioned jurisdiction.
We may restrict, suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time, including to comply with law.
8. Intellectual property
The Site's design, text, graphics and branding are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Site for its intended purpose. Open-source components remain governed by their own licenses. You may not copy our branding or present a modified version of the Site in a way that implies it is operated by us.
9. Disclaimers
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OR UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE, THE PROTOCOL CONTRACTS, OR ANY DATA DISPLAYED WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE OR CURRENT.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL PON.FUN, ITS CONTRIBUTORS, OPERATORS OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, TOKENS, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE PROTOCOL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US$100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold harmless pon.fun and its contributors from any claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, your transactions, or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.
12. Changes, suspension and termination
We may modify the Site or these Terms at any time. The current version of the Terms, with its "Last updated" date, will always be available at pon.fun/terms, and material changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance. We may discontinue the Site at any time; because the protocol is non-custodial, discontinuing the Site does not affect assets held in your own wallet or the operation of the on-chain contracts.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Site operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the competent courts of that jurisdiction. You agree that any claim must be brought within one (1) year of the events giving rise to it, and only in your individual capacity, not as part of a class action.
14. Miscellaneous
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization of the project.
