Pons Launch
Why $T0 did not launch through TAPEZERO.
Shipping the token and shipping the protocol are two different things. TAPEZERO was not rushed merely so $T0 could launch through unfinished TAPEZERO contracts.
Pons was existing launch infrastructure on Robinhood Chain. It worked, it was live, and using it meant the token did not depend on a protocol that was still being written, tested and reviewed.
The alternative — launching a token through your own unaudited, undeployed contracts because it would make a better story — is how protocols end up with their first real market being their first real test. TAPEZERO's contracts are still unaudited today, which is exactly the point.
TAPEZERO is an independent protocol and is not affiliated with Robinhood, Uniswap or Chainlink. The contracts are unaudited. Nothing here is investment advice.
