Uniswap has launched its first token launchpad, Pools.trade, on Robinhood Chain, opening the door for users to create and trade new tokens through a single interface.
The rollout has quickly pushed Uniswap back in the spotlight, with traders flocking to early launchpad tokens.
What Pools.trade Actually Does
As noted in a Santiment report published on August 6, Pools.trade lets users launch tokens through either a four-hour Crowd Launch or Instant Launch before liquidity is automatically placed into Uniswap v4 pools and permanently locked.
The move shifts Uniswap beyond its traditional role as a decentralized exchange by placing it at the earliest stage of a token’s lifecycle rather than simply handling trading after launch.
The launch builds on Uniswap’s existing position as Robinhood Chain’s primary automated market maker. Robinhood’s Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 already supports multiple versions of Uniswap alongside UniswapX, its wallet, web application, and API.
As 크립토포테이토 reported earlier, Robinhood Chain has become the largest blockchain by real-world asset holder count, although meme coin trading still accounts for most decentralized exchange activity on the network. Early attention on Pools.trade has centered on tokens like FRONG and POOLS, with many traders, according to Santiment, treating the former as the unofficial launchpad token despite no formal confirmation from Uniswap tying it to the platform.
At the same time, competing Robinhood Chain launchpad tokens such as PONS came under pressure as traders rotated into the new narrative. At the time of writing, PONS was down nearly 14% in 24 hours per data from CoinGecko, with its weekly chart showing a nearly 48% plunge. The total market cap of the top coins launched on Pons also dipped by more than 12% in the last day to less than $20 million.
Part of what made the debut louder than a typical product announcement was how odd it felt getting there, with hidden pages, teaser files, frog imagery, and last-minute changes beforehand. One X user, The Smart Ape, called it “the most documented secret launch in DeFi.” And whether that was clever marketing or just confusing depends on who you ask.
On-Chain Trends Add to UNI’s Growing Attention
Santiment also pointed to strengthening on-chain data for UNI, Uniswap’s native token. Exchange balances have fallen 15.7% over the past month, while the token has climbed roughly 47% since the beginning of July, suggesting fewer coins are immediately available for sale as interest in the ecosystem grows.
Per the analytics firm, Uniswap’s share of crypto-related social discussion has reached its highest level since November 2025 following the Pools.trade announcement.
UNI was trading at just over $4.00 at the time of writing, up nearly 3% over 24 hours and almost 30% higher across the past month. But even after the recovery, the token is still about 91% below its all-time high of $44.92 recorded in May 2021.
Santiment concluded that Pools.trade could become an important new source of activity for Uniswap if it continues attracting token launches.
