ngl, not gonna lie
The Pons launchpad works and has real fees, but some of its revenue claims don't match the data.
The launch flow reached the wallet with a transaction that would succeed. DefiLlama shows about $198M in fees paid, and 32.7% of the supply is at the burn address. The claim that 80% of revenue goes to buying $PONS is contradicted, and the $140M creator payout claim could not be confirmed. The top 10 wallets hold 81%, though that count includes pools and lockers.

The 32.5% burn claim is backed now
Before, only the dev's 1.1% burn was found, so the claim was unbacked; now 32.7% of supply sits at the burn address, which supports it.
Red flags1
The 80% revenue-to-buyback claim is contradicted
Holders received $23.16M of $36.00M revenue, about 64%, and only 15% of fees over the last 30 days. That is well short of the 80% claim.
DefiLlama: Pons
Watch out2
The $140M creator payout claim is not backed
DefiLlama shows no split that would put $140M in the hands of creators and communities.
DefiLlama: PonsHolders are concentrated
The top 10 wallets hold 81%, though GeckoTerminal's count includes pools and lockers. One launch-block buyer took 6.8% and has sold all of it.

Launch flow works up to the wallet
The agent filled both steps of the create form, connected a wallet and reached a signing request. ngl's simulation says the transaction would go through.
wallet requestscreenshotscreenshotReal fee volume on the protocol
DefiLlama shows $198.47M in fees paid all time and $34.29M in the last 30 days. That matches the 'over $200M' claim closely and shows real usage.
DefiLlama: PonsThe burn claim checks out
32.7% of the supply sits at the burn address, which supports the 32.5% claim. The $91M value claim looks high at today's price, since the burned tokens are worth about $60.7M.
