The honest print
Plain terms
The honest print, kept large. If any of this surprises you later, we wrote it here first.
- Pre-launch. The vault contracts are written but not deployed, and no coin has launched. Every figure on this site is zero because that is the truth, and none of it is demo data.
- Not a donation in your name. Batches settle through The Giving Block with the PLEDGE settlement wallet as the donor of record. A US deduction requires a contribution to a section 170(c) organization and a written acknowledgment from that organization to the donor, and a swap fee produces neither, so trading a coin on PLEDGE is not a tax-deductible donation by you. See the IRS virtual currency FAQ and Publication 1771. Nothing here is tax advice.
- Costs come out first. Gas and bridge costs are paid from the flow before the nonprofit receives fiat. Both are reported per batch on the ledger.
- A percentage is a parameter, not a promise of size. The pledge percent fixes how creator fees split. It says nothing about how much anyone will trade.
- The venue is pons. Pool fee 1.00%, creator share 70%, fixed supply, graduation rules and launch fee are pons's terms, read live at launch time.
- No affiliations claimed. PLEDGE is independent. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with Robinhood Markets, Robinhood Chain, pons, The Giving Block, or any listed nonprofit.
- Not investment advice. Coins launched here are memecoins with a charity routing parameter. They can go to zero. The pledge changes where fees go, not what a coin is.
- What the chain enforces, and what it cannot. The split percentage, the cause binding, and the fee route are contract code with no admin key. Converting the pledged share and donating it through The Giving Block is desk work, done off-chain and reported on the ledger, batch by batch. The route marks every step with which of the two it is.
- Unaudited. The vault contracts have not had an external audit yet. That line will be updated when it stops being true, and not before.
