Robinhood Chain API: Trades, Pons Launchpad and Real-Time Streams

Robinhood Chain (network: robinhood, chain ID 4663) is Robinhood's EVM Layer 2, built with the Arbitrum Orbit stack and live on mainnet since July 2026. Gas is paid in ETH, the chain carries the USDG stablecoin and Robinhood's tokenized stocks and ETFs, and it hosts a dense cluster of meme-coin launchpads, led by Pons. Bitquery indexes the whole chain — blocks, transactions, internal calls, decoded events, token transfers, balances, DEX trades and pool liquidity — and serves it through one GraphQL endpoint where any query can run as a live WebSocket stream.

This page is the map. Use it to pick the cube that answers your question, then jump to the linked guide. The Pons Launchpad API has its own section below because it is the launchpad developers ask about most.

API Key Required

To query or stream data outside the Bitquery IDE, you need an API access token.

Quick start: stream every trade on Robinhood Chain

The Trading cubes carry live swaps with USD prices for Robinhood Chain and eight other chains in one schema. Paste this into the Bitquery IDE to watch the network trade in real time:

subscription {
  Trading {
    Trades(
      where: {Pair: {Market: {NetworkBid: {is: "bid:robinhood"}}}}
    ) {
      Block { Time }
      Trader { Address }
      Pair {
        Token { Name Symbol Address }
        QuoteToken { Name Symbol Address }
      }
      Amounts { Base Quote }
      AmountsInUsd { Base }
    }
  }
}

Change subscription to query, add limit: {count: 10} and orderBy: {descending: Block_Time}, and the same selection set returns the latest trades instead. Prices, OHLCV candles, market cap, whale trades and top-trader leaderboards are on the Robinhood Trades API page.

Trading cubes for live data, DEXTrades for deep history

Trading.Trades / Tokens / Pairs cover real-time plus roughly the last 30 days with USD pricing baked in. Use the chain-level DEXTrades cube for older history or when you need the call and event context around a swap. See the Trading data overview.

Pons Launchpad API on Robinhood Chain

Pons (Pons Family) is the bonding-curve launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Every launch mints a fixed 1 billion supply into its own curve contract. Traders buy and sell against that curve until it takes in its graduation threshold (4.2 ETH for native-quoted launches; a per-asset amount for other quotes), at which point the curve is swept, the proceeds seed a Uniswap v4 pool behind the Pons meme hook, and the liquidity position is permanently locked. A creator can quote a launch in ETH, USDG, cbBTC, or a tokenized stock or ETF such as TSLA, NVDA or SPY.

The Pons Launchpad API guide covers the full lifecycle with runnable queries:

• New launches — the decoded TokenLaunched event, a Calls-based launch feed with full archive history, and the on-chain token metadata (name, symbol, image, description, socials). See Newly launched tokens and Token metadata.
• Bonding-curve trades — CurveBuy and CurveSell events with snipe-tax fields, plus the same trades as Protocol: pons_v2 rows in the Trading cube for USD prices and OHLCV. See Bonding-curve trades.
• Graduations — LaunchSwept and PoolGraduated, the graduated v4 pool, and how to find the Pons pool of one token without picking up copycat pools. See Graduation.
• Locked liquidity — verifying the lock in PonsV2LaunchLocker. See Verifying the Pons liquidity lock.
• Contract addresses and event reference — every factory, curve, hook, router and locker event with its topic0. See Contract addresses and Event reference.
• After graduation — holders, supply, pool liquidity and slippage for graduated tokens. See Holders and supply.

Pons V2 contract	Address
Launch factory (PonsV2LaunchFactory)	0x7ed598bcef8bd9edd8c97a195c6d13f40801ec7e
Launch router (PonsV2LaunchAndBuy)	0xe33e9e479df8802cb0866d5d05258bec4cf62948
Meme hook (PonsV2MemeHook), on every graduated pool	0xe5e702641ea86f4ae6cc3cdaed2b886f976be044
Launch locker (PonsV2LaunchLocker)	0x267444d099b10fb5ed7c3cc7b7c767adca574952
Bonding curve	one contract per token — the receiver of the launch mint

Stream every new Pons launch as it happens:

subscription {
  EVM(network: robinhood) {
    Calls(
      where: {
        Call: {
          To: {in: [
            "0x7ed598bcef8bd9edd8c97a195c6d13f40801ec7e",
            "0xe33e9e479df8802cb0866d5d05258bec4cf62948"
          ]}
          Input: {startsWith: ["0xf35abbcf", "0xa72101af", "0xf85f8e41"]}
          Success: true
        }
      }
    ) {
      Block { Time }
      Transaction { Hash From }
      Call { To Value Input Output }
    }
  }
}

Transaction.From is the creator, and the first two 32-byte words of Call.Output are the new token and its curve. The guide explains the selectors, the decoding, and why launchTokenFor is deliberately left out of the filter.

Pons and pools.trade are opposites

Pons has a real bonding curve and a graduation event. pools.trade tokens trade in a Uniswap v4 pool from block one with no curve and no graduation. Queries written for one return nothing on the other — see How Pons differs from pools.trade.

Other launchpads on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain launchpads are not interchangeable. Each has its own factory contracts, its own event signatures, and a different relationship to the DEX it trades on. Four more have dedicated guides:

Launchpad	Model	Guide
pools.trade	Uniswap v4 pool from block one, no curve and no graduation event; Crowd Launch auctions	Pools.trade API on Robinhood
Flap.sh	Bonding curve with per-token tax and progress events, graduates to a DEX; emits a decoded TokenCreated	Flap.sh API on Robinhood
trench.today	Bonding-curve launchpad run from a single factory proxy; TokenCreate, TokenPurchase, TokenSale and Sync events expose launches, trades and live curve reserves	trench.today API on Robinhood
Bags.fm	Creator-fee launchpad	Bags.fm API on Robinhood

For a cross-launchpad feed — every new token on the network regardless of which factory minted it — use the Robinhood Meme Coin Launches API. It also carries per-launchpad launch queries for hood.fun, LaunchHood, Virtuals, Klik Finance, Doppler (the Airlock that Bankr and other front-ends launch through), Ape.store and Clanker, and a query that compares launch activity across launchpads.

Feed for discovery, launchpad page for depth

The cross-launchpad feed answers "what launched?". The per-launchpad guides answer "what is this token doing?" — curve trades, graduation progress, fee splits and pool state. Most production pipelines use the feed for discovery and one launchpad guide for depth.

Perpetual futures: Lighter on Robinhood Chain

Lighter is the perp DEX behind in-app perpetuals in Robinhood Wallet. Its ZkLighter rollup contract lives on Robinhood Chain and receives every USDG margin deposit, pays every withdrawal, and records the rollup's batch lifecycle. The Lighter Perp DEX API shows how to track deposits, withdrawals, batch commits and the contract's flow history.

Real-time streams: WebSocket, Kafka and MCP

• WebSocket — every query on every page above runs as a subscription: swap query for subscription and keep the same selection set. See WebSocket subscriptions and authorizing a WebSocket connection.
• Kafka — for firehose-scale workloads, Robinhood Chain is published as protobuf topics: robinhood.transactions.proto (transactions, calls, events), robinhood.tokens.proto (transfers, balances), robinhood.dextrades.proto (DEX trades), robinhood.dexpools.proto (pool liquidity) and robinhood.raw.proto (raw blocks). See Kafka streaming concepts and the streams overview.
• MCP — the Bitquery MCP server exposes Robinhood Chain trades, prices and wallet history to AI agents alongside the other Trading-cube chains.

Datasets and history

Robinhood Chain queries accept a dataset argument that decides how far back you can reach and how fresh the tail is.

• realtime — lowest latency, holds only the most recent days
• archive — history back to when Bitquery started indexing Robinhood Chain, higher latency
• combined — both, stitched
• Data coverage and retention — what each window actually holds

Two rules of thumb. If a query works on recent data but returns nothing for older blocks, the dataset argument is almost always the reason. And a few cubes — Transactions, DEXPools and TransactionBalances — are realtime-only on Robinhood Chain; each guide's dataset section says what applies to it.

History is sold per chain. The free trial includes complete history; paid self-service plans are real-time only and add it through the Robinhood archive add-on on the pricing page, which unlocks archive and combined on DEXTrades, DEXTradeByTokens, Calls and Events. A second add-on covers historical Transfers, Balances and Holders. The Pons guide's historical data section walks through it.

FAQ

Is Robinhood Chain EVM-compatible, and what is its chain ID?

Yes. Robinhood Chain is an EVM Layer 2 built with Arbitrum Orbit, chain ID 4663, with gas paid in ETH. In Bitquery it is EVM(network: robinhood), and bid:robinhood in the Trading cubes. Solidity ABIs, topic0 hashes and 4-byte selectors work exactly as they do on Ethereum.

Does Bitquery have a Pons API?

Yes. The Pons Launchpad API covers new launches, bonding-curve trades, snipe tax, graduations, the liquidity lock, contract addresses and the full event reference, and Pons curve trades also appear as Protocol: pons_v2 rows in the Trading cube with USD prices. The Pons section above has the contract addresses and a live launch stream. The guide documents Pons V2 (PonsV2LaunchFactory); the V1 factory (PonsLaunchFactory) is a different protocol with different event signatures, called out in the same guide.

How do I get every new token launched on Robinhood Chain?

Use the cross-launchpad stream on the Robinhood Meme Coin Launches API page for discovery, then the launchpad's own guide (Pons, pools.trade, Flap.sh, trench.today, Bags.fm) for curve trades, graduation and pool state.

Is this the Robinhood brokerage trading API?

No. These pages document on-chain data for Robinhood Chain, the public blockchain. They do not place stock or crypto orders in a Robinhood account, and they do not cover Robinhood's off-chain products such as prediction markets.

Does Bitquery provide a Robinhood Chain RPC endpoint or block explorer?

No. Bitquery is an indexed data API; the public explorer is robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. Every explorer lookup has an API equivalent here, and each is queryable in bulk and streamable: address history (Transfers, Balances), token holders (Token Holders), transaction receipts (Transactions & Receipts), contract logs (Events) and internal traces (Calls).

Can I get new pools, trending tokens and pair lookups for Robinhood Chain, like GeckoTerminal or DexScreener?

Yes — the New Pools & Trending Tokens API maps each of those endpoints to a Bitquery query: new pools from the Uniswap v4 Initialize and v3 PoolCreated events, trending tokens and pools from the Trading cubes, plus pair lookup by pool address and token search by symbol or name. Pool reserves and TVL are on the Liquidity API.

How far back does Robinhood Chain data go?

The archive dataset reaches back to when Bitquery began indexing the chain, and the Trading cubes hold roughly the last 30 days. The realtime dataset holds only the most recent days, so add dataset: archive or dataset: combined to any historical query. Details are on the data coverage and retention page.
