How The Tavern works, for people and for developers
The social layer and live market terminal for Robinhood Chain. Watch the whales, read the tape, discuss every token, all in one place, all in real time.
The Tavern is where Robinhood Chain gathers. It fuses a social network with a live market terminal: post and reply like a feed, but every $ticker links to a live asset page with price, market cap, a chart, and a streaming trade tape.
It is scoped entirely to Robinhood Chain, no global crypto noise. Tokenized stocks (NVDA, TSLA, SPY), memecoins, and fresh launches, all native to the chain.
Most fresh tokens on Robinhood Chain are minted through Pons, the chain's launchpad. The Tavern surfaces every Pons launch the moment it lands, so the Launches feed and the NEW tags on the tape are live, not a daily digest.
How a Pons launch works, so you know what a launch card is telling you:
Every launch carries a 1% pool fee. The creator keeps most of it and the protocol keeps a share (currently 70/30 on the active factory), snapshotted per token at launch. A launch card links straight to the token's page here and out to Pons to trade. The Tavern never holds funds, every trade is a transaction your own wallet approves.
The Tavern reads Robinhood Chain three independent ways, and merges them:
Reads flow through a shared server cache with last-known-good fallback, so the feed, tape, screener, and charts stay live and populated for everyone without hammering any upstream source.
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit L2 with ETH for gas. Tokens launch into Uniswap V3 pools and are quoted against WETH. The Tavern is scoped entirely to this one chain.
Launchpad, contracts, and the full onchain integration surface are documented by Pons at docs.ponsfamily.com.
Your identity is your wallet, no email, no password. Browsing is free; posting uses a one-time gasless signature (Sign-In with Ethereum), never a transaction. You can mute, block, delete your own posts, and manage everything from Settings. Wallet activity shown here is public on-chain data.
The Tavern is built on a public read API, the same endpoints that power this app. Build bots, dashboards, alerts, or your own frontend on Robinhood Chain data. No key required for read endpoints.

Authenticate with GET /api/auth/nonce → sign it → POST /api/auth/verify to set a session cookie, then call the write endpoints (posts, follow, likes, messages, …). These are meant for the app, not anonymous access.
